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

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

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

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $100/day all-in.
My tip: go early evening.

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

Also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.
