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 in 2024 and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers
Puerto Rico — overrated or just right?

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

I was there in March and prices were about average. Spent about $50/day all-in.
My tip: go early evening.

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

Did you use an agency or find girls at the hotel?

Word of caution — be careful with street touts. Other than that, great destination.
