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 a while back and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers

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

Did you use dating apps or find girls at the hotel?

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

First time was a learning experience. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

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

I was there in January and prices were great value. Spent about $120/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.

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