The
Joyuda Beach Hotel was founded on July 25, 1991. Puerto Rico's
Turism Development Company has designated us as a "Parador",
meaning Inn. The "Paradores" program was established
to decentralize turism from the Metropolitan area towards
the panoramic sections of the Island. The Joyuda Beach Hotel
is located in one of the "most splendid" natural
settings and historic places in Puerto Rico, in the town of
Cabo Rojo. Cabo Rojo meaning " Red Cape", is one
of the Island's oldest cities. It is believed that Christopher
Columbus disembarked in Cabo Rojo November 19, 1493, during
his voyage and discovery of the "Enchanted Island"
of Puerto Rico. Birthplace of Ramón Emeterio Betances
(1827-1898), a renowned writer, doctor and politician who
fought for the abolition of slavery in Puerto Rico; Salvador
Brau (1842-1912), sociologist and historian, journalist and
dramaturgy with worldwide recognition; and of Roberto Cofresí
Ramírez de Arellano, best known as "El Pirata
Cofresí" (1791-1825), a Puertorrican pirate who
in 1824 sachet and destroyed 8 vessels, one of them North
American, sharing his bout with his shipmates, family and
most needed.
There
are many legends of hidden treasures resting "untouched"
along these shores with tropical beaches of tranquil warm
waters. Cabo Rojo is a treasure itself, full of beauty and
adventure that one can only dream of. Come and enjoy our Bird
