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 last year and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers

Different experience for me. Prices were about the same when I went.

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?

I was there in February and prices were great value. Spent about $150/day all-in.
My tip: go early evening.

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

I was there in March and prices were about average. Spent about $150/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

Adding my experience: scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 15-20%.

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