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 decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers

Adding my experience: scene has bounced back since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality.

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

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.
