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
- Best hotels near the scene
I was there in 2024 and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers

Adding my experience: scene has evolved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: some old spots closed.

Word of caution — be careful with street touts. Other than that, great destination.

Also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

I was there in March and prices were great value. Spent about $100/day all-in.
My tip: avoid weekends.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.
