Has anyone been to Puerto Rico recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Apps or platforms to use
I was there 6 months ago and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers
Best time of year to visit Puerto Rico?

I was there in March and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $120/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.

Adding my experience: scene has bounced back since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

First time was a learning experience. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.

Did you use freelancers or find girls at bars?

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

Been there 5 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The value for money is what keeps me coming back.

Word of caution — some online profiles are fake. Other than that, great destination.

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.
