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 great time. Wondering if things have changed.

Trying to decide between this and Colombia.

Cheers

Been there 12 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The consistency is what keeps me coming back.

I was there in March and prices were about average. Spent about $100/day all-in.

My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

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

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

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

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

Also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

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