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 good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers

First time was a learning experience. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.

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

Also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

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

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

I was there in March and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $120/day all-in.
My tip: go early evening.

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