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
- Transport tips
I was there a while back and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers

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

I was there in last month and prices were great value. Spent about $100/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.

Been there 8 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The quality is what keeps me coming back.

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