"The new FANTASY ISLAND series offers a fantastic opportunity to transport people to Puerto Rico from the comfort of their home and, with the help of our partners, give a participant the chance to live out a true Island escape. While Puerto Rico offers the allure of an exotic destination, it's also an accessible location that offers ease when traveling, by way of not requiring passports, currency exchange, or new phone plans from U.S. travelers," said Brad Dean, CEO of Discover Puerto Rico. "We're proud to set the scene for a talented cast and a leading actress, Roselyn Sanchez, who shares the same love and passion for Puerto Rico as we do."

FANTASY ISLAND stars Puerto Rican actress, singer, and songwriter Roselyn Sanchez as Elena Roarke, a descendant of the iconic Mr. Roarke. Kiara Barnes stars as Ruby Akuda, a young woman with an old soul. John Gabriel Rodriquez plays pilot Javier, Fantasy Island's head of transport. The show's production has greatly contributed to the Island's economy, generating over $54 million in economic impact, creating over 400 jobs for locals, and driving hotel occupancy to more than two thousand nights for the entire production team, actors, and staff.

"Puerto Rico es mi país, my beloved homeland, and I'm ecstatic to share a piece of our beautiful destination with fans through FANTASY ISLAND," said Sanchez. "I hope that you get caught up in the magic of the location and see for yourself why Puerto Rico is truly a dreamy destination worth exploring."
