About San Juan:

Embark on an exhilarating journey to the colorful heart of the Caribbean, where the rhythm of salsa meets the historic charm of cobblestone streets. Welcome to San Juan, Puerto Rico—a city that effortlessly blends rich history, vibrant culture, and tropical allure into an unforgettable tapestry of experiences.

Begin your adventure in Old San Juan, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where pastel-hued colonial buildings line narrow streets adorned with bougainvillea. Step through the iconic San Juan Gate, and let the echoes of centuries past guide you through the city's historic forts—El Morro and San Cristóbal—standing as guardians against the backdrop of the azure sea.

Stroll along Paseo de la Princesa, a waterfront promenade where live music fills the air and the scent of local delicacies beckons. Dive into the vivacious energy of La Placita, a lively square where locals and visitors alike come together to dance, dine, and celebrate under the starlit Caribbean sky.

Indulge your senses in the local cuisine—Mofongo, Tostones, and flavorful Mofongo Relleno await your taste buds in the city's diverse array of eateries. Wash it down with a sip of the island's signature Piña Colada, the sweet nectar of Puerto Rico's tropical spirit.

Venture beyond the historic district to the trendy neighborhoods of Santurce, where street art transforms buildings into vibrant canvases, and trendy cafes and boutiques beckon the modern explorer. Escape to the beaches of Isla Verde, where turquoise waters meet golden sands, creating a paradise for sun-seekers and water enthusiasts.

As the sun sets, San Juan transforms into a nightlife haven. Salsa beats spill from open doorways, inviting you to join the rhythm of the night. From chic rooftop bars with panoramic views to the hidden gems tucked away in historic squares, the city's nightlife is as diverse as its daytime offerings.

In San Juan, every corner tells a story, every salsa step echoes with history, and every sunset is a celebration of the island's vibrant spirit. Join the rhythm of the tropics, embrace the warmth of Puerto Rico, and let San Juan cast its spell on your wanderlust-filled heart.

Love Wins! is a weekend-long couple retreat that combines LGBTQ+ specific coaching with a luxurious resort experience.

Just see what past couples have said:

"We really had in-depth and honest conversation...it was truly a safe space for all of us to learn, grow, challenge, and share our thoughts as well as experiences. I feel changed."

"Dr. Canillas brilliantly brings out the best in our shared knowledge and experiences. (He) validates our experiences. We left better prepared, hopeful, and rejuvenated with fresh ideas."
