Coming to PR soon hit me with some shit and I'll do it

Hello all! My girlfriend and I are super excited at the idea of taking a short trip (4 nights) to PR in February, and have used Expedia to get an idea of cost/ places/ etc, but it seems the prices have increased 10-15% or so from a few days ago when we initially started looking. Is this normal? Can we expect it to decrease? If so, when shoukd we check again? We have been very excited due to initial price-points, but are now feeling a bit discouraged due to the price increases. Any help is much appreciated!

Hey everyone I will be in Old San Juan in December. This is my fourth time visiting the island definitely looking for more good eats, must do and nightlife. I wanted to see if anyone else will be there open to making new friends. Any suggestions please comment

Hi all! I am 21F and taking a solo trip to PR in mid December. I had plans though Host a Sister but they fell through :( are any other women going to be in PR or live in PR during that time? I'd love to meet up or stay somewhere outside of San Juan to get a more varied and authentic experience of the island. I'd love to split the cost of a rental car because I am 21 and the upcharge for under 25 is pretty expensive.

Edit: Travelers* lol

Is it safe to be out at night?

What do most visitors do for food?

Are there snorkeling tours or is it up to you to find your own spots?

Would someone looking for tours and tiki bars have more fun in Vieques or somewhere else on the East coast?

I appreciate any insight!

Hey all, going to PR for 6 days for a solo trip in mid-November (Tues-Tues, flying in and out of SJU). This was a last minute, wanttogetaway trip so was planning to just get a place in Condado or Ocean Park for the week to make it easy but realizing I usually only go away for a weekend and I'll be there a whole week, I'm now wondering if I should venture at all. I’m looking for a solid mix of beach days and laid back but fun bars at night- I don’t care for super loud bars or clubs but love live music. I'm realizing my past trips I really prioritized sitting on a beautiful beach too much and found myself incredibly bored at night so I'd rather be on an OK beach and be close to places where I can easily meet/chat with people when there, whether they are locals, tourists or travelers. I will have to work remote 2 days of the trip but will have night free. I would rent a car if I needed to drive to a further out location but would would prefer to walk to get around on a daily basis.

I have been to PR once before- did 1.5 days in Old San Juan and 2.5 days in Rincon/ Aguadilla. The beaches on the West coast were so beautiful but I found the bars/restaurants very limited – they were very quiet or full of families (not sure if I just went to the wrong places?)

Definitely want to do a day trip to Icacos and spend time at Isla Verde. Wondering if it's worth it to do the weekend/a few days in Luquillo. I considered Vieques but it’s kind of a lot logistically and cost wise and I will be super bummed if there’s nothing going on there at night. I'm torn on El Yunique- really not into adventure activities. I usually do activities on the fly but need to book accommodations so would love this subs opinion on keeping a place near San Juan for the week vs splitting up my stay.

Looking for Vieques stay recommendation for a night after the bio bay tour. Had Hix Island House or Sea Gate hotel in list but not sure if the roads are safe to travel at night. Budget upto $180 a night.

Hello!

Me and my friends (all 18M) are visiting Puerto Rico during the month of January for 7 days (5th - 12th) and we're very excited. We are looking for advice and information (from experienced travelers and locals) that could help us further enjoy the trip. As of now, we are visiting San Juan but we are not sure about the activities in that area. We are also looking for a second city to visit, which one would you recommend? We want to have a fun and safe time and fully enjoy the country for what it is. We are young and adventurous but on a light budget. We would extremely appreciate some help about our activities, food and accommodations.

Thank you! (from 3 Arabs and 1 Chinese)

Hi!! Our family is looking to head to Puerto Rico in mid January. Any ideas on where to stay outside of San Juan? Look for a good area to stay in an airbnb/villa type place & walk to explore! We have 4 adults and 2 kids (15&6). We would like to hang out on a nice beach, go to locally owned/authentic cuisine restaurants, snorkel, relax on a boat. We'd like most things to be in walking distance or a quick bus ride (how is local transit?). We prefer not to rent a car if possible. I loooove walking new cities. Also want to buy a few groceries so we aren't eating out every single meal. Thanks!!

We are taking a quick (4 nights) trip to PR in a couple of weeks with our 16 month old. Originally, we were planning on staying at El Conquistador, but I'm hesitant because it's almost an hour from the airport and we'd have to either book a car service and be stuck at the resort (which might be fine?) or deal with renting a car which we'd rather not if we can avoid it. So I started looking in to staying in San Juan.

What is the best toddler-friendly, calm beach, nice rooms, good restaurants hotels in San Juan? I was about to book Condado Vanderbilt but have also seen Caribe Hilton pop up a lot. OR should we stick with El Conquistador and if we do, is it necessary to rent a car?

Thank you!

People of Puerto Rican heritage and all eligible voters across the U.S., your voice and vote are powerful tools for making an impact. Many states allow in-person voter registration during early voting and on Election Day, so even if you haven’t registered yet, you may still have time.

Here’s how to get started:

1.	Check Your State’s Requirements: Each state has different rules and deadlines for voter registration. Many states offer same-day registration during early voting or on Election Day, so you can register and vote at the same time.
2.	Bring the Right Documents: When registering in person, you’ll usually need a form of ID and proof of residence. Check your state’s specific requirements to make sure you’re prepared.
3.	Use Your Voice: Voting is a key way to advocate for yourself, your family, and your community. Don’t miss this chance to make a difference.

For specific information about your state’s requirements, visit https://www.vote.org/voter-registration-deadlines/

Make a plan to vote, and let your voice be heard!

See you at the Polls!

Hello, We are family of 4 planning to visit Puerto Rico during thanksgiving week for 6 days. We are looking for recommendations to plan our itinerary. We like beaches but not like spending full day. We like spending time in old downtown area. We are vegetarian. How easy is your explore food being vegetarian?

Thanks in advance.

My SO and I will visit Puerto Rico for our Honeymoon from Nov 27th to Dec 7th. I want to know where and how to start the trip. We are somewhat on a budget (but have some flexibility), will be able to rent, and want to explore outside of San Juan as well.

We did look at a few blog posts and videos about what to travel but want to listen and explore all the options.

Further, we have a few questions

1. What is public transport like? can we get by with out renting out a car?
2. How safe is the airport at night?
3. What is the weather like at that time of the year?
4. Are there any good vegan/ vegetarian options available?
5. Are there any places to avoid and things not to do?

We love nature (beaches and forests alike), history, wildlife, and both of us are actually down for anything.

Please help and thanks in advance.

We are headed to Puerto Rico on Friday for our first visit! So excited!!We will be there this Tuesday on Election Day (traveling from Mayaguez to San Juan that day). I have heard that alcohol won't be sold from 6 AM to 6 PM that day (except in hotels). What other impacts are there? Are restaurants, gas stations and/or stores closed at all during that day? Thank you in advance! We want to be able to plan ahead to be prepared. Add tags (optional)

Edit...I'm here for a month and I don't sleep without it...been up for three days and I'm miserable

So I'm coming in tomorrow from Helene-hit North Carolina and after everything that just happened here reallllly wondering how serious I should take weather.com on this one. I see the weather posts about it always raining in the tropics and that's cool - just not trying to run from one massive flood to another. Thoughts?

Edit to add: Our first nights are in Luquillo, then Vieques, then Isabela.

Help! I can't decide which location for a trip with my husband in February. I know they are completely different but any recommendations? Which one is nicer? More to do? Looking to relax but also have some adventures. How far is Wyndham from the airport?

I want to go to flamenco beach and am wondering if it’s feasible to try and make it a day trip. Staying in Luquillo btw.

What is the Yabucoa like and is it good for families? We are going in February and staying in a VRBO. Safe? Things to do? Restaurant/food recommendations. Thanks! We can't wait to visit!

We booked a stay for early January in ocean park beach and later that week in Culebra. Will the water be too rough to swim in January? And do you have any good tips for tourists?

I am planning to go to Puerto Rico in February. I am 19 years old. I know the drinking age is 18, but is it strictly enforced like in the US? Will I be asked for ID? Also could I bring alcohol back to the mainland at my age without a problem?

How is the weather like in San Juan nowadays? Travelling there on the weekend and its showing rain. Does the rain typically last the whole day or does it come and go?

I am seeking recommendations for hotels in PR that are ideal for a conference for mid-January 2026 that will be attended by 100 to 110 people. The ideal location will be oceanfront, within walking distance to local attractions, and event space for three breakout rooms, exhibit hall, and a reception.

Hello All! My family will be visiting Puerto Rico this December. Last time we went we stayed near the coast and loved it. This year we wanted to spend a few days in the rain forest for a little more adventure. I'll have a rented Jeep and we are staying at a little ecolodge called casa cubuy, a few hours southeast of san juan. We wanted to do some hiking and general exporing. My kids are 10,12 so it can't be too extreme. I found this Rio Sabana hike near there but was looking for any other recommendations or tips for that general area. It doesn't nessesarily have to be hiking per se as long as we are not sitting around. I'm assuming once I get there, there isn't going to be many resources (IE cell phone coverage) to help me plan and navigate.

I’ve visited Puerto Rico almost every year but this is the first time I travel with family and friends to celebrate my 30th birthday. We’re headed there next month and I’m looking for unique experiences that reflect on Puerto Rican culture. I really wanna show my family/friends how beautiful and special Puerto Rico is for me.

Are there any classes/tours/experiences that aren’t the typical tourist things? Like a cooking class, painting, jewelry making, out there that are conducted by the people? I’d love to connect with people from the island!

I will be traveling to PR in a few weeks. What’s recommended, staying at a Airbnb or hotel? The plan is to stay on at least 4different cities. I will be there a whole week.

Hi, I’m flying in tomorrow and like everyone else I have heard about the predicted rain all week and how it might not be as bad as the forecast is saying. Does anyone have any insight on what the weather is like currently? I’ve been monitoring it and compared to what the forecast was saying yesterday, it has seemed to be fine. I saw a lot of comments saying that it doesn’t get as bad as the forecast usually says so I’m hoping for the best 🙏🏽

Planning a last minute 4 day stay. Flying into San Juan with my boyfriend - he loves adventure activities and I love a beautiful beach to relax + nightlife.

Does anyone have recommendations on a perfect 4 days to accommodate what we are both looking for out of the trip?

Places to stay? Visit? Excursions?

I’ve never been before and I’m so excited but I know there’s so many things to explore I want to make the best of it!
