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 in 2024 and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Trying to decide between this and Germany.
Cheers
Puerto Rico vs last year — has it changed?

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

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

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

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