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
- New venues worth checking out
I was there last year and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers

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

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

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

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