Puerto Rico is filled with beautiful beaches and stunning sights to see. This US territory, located in the Caribbean Sea, is filled with plenty of resorts where you can relax, unwind, and enjoy when you visit the island.

According to Travel + Leisure, Puerto Rico has been billed as the "island of enchantment" for many reasons, too. This can be seen in the many resorts that dot the island, which is very easy to travel to via the US mainland.
