You'll find luxury resorts, beachside hotels, guest houses, bed and breakfasts, hostels--essentially something for everyone and every budget! Many hotels have a pool and you won't have to look far to find a great hotel or resort backing onto a beach.
What are some must-do activities in Puerto Rico?
Exploring Old San Juan's cobblestone streets and colourful buildings is a must. Snorkelling or diving in the crystal-clear waters is fantastic, especially around Culebra and Vieques. Hiking through El Yunque National Forest offers breathtaking views. For a cultural experience, visiting a local coffee plantation and learning about the process is highly recommended. You can also consider taking a sunset catamaran cruise.
It's best to rent a car when you go to Puerto Rico, especially if you want to travel beyond the city you're staying in, as there is no intercity train service, and the intercity bus service is very slow and uncomfortable.
When is the ideal time to visit Puerto Rico?
The best time to visit is during the winter months (December to April) when the weather is generally dry and sunny, with average temperatures around 25°C. However, this is also peak season, so expect higher prices and more crowds. Shoulder seasons (May-June and September-November) offer a good compromise between pleasant weather and fewer tourists.
What are the best family friendly hotels in Puerto Rico?
Most people come to Puerto Rico for the beaches and culture, but there are some things to see. Old San Juan is worth visiting with its colorful streets. Puerto Rico is more known for its natural beauty, like Icacos Island, Playa El Combate, and Flamenco Beach, the latter being famous for its corral reefs and turtles.
Which neighbourhoods or areas are best for spending a week in Puerto Rico?
Old San Juan is perfect for a base, offering easy access to historical sites, restaurants, and nightlife. For a more relaxed beach vacation, consider staying in areas like Condado or Isla Verde in San Juan, or exploring the quieter beaches of Vieques or Culebra. If you prefer a more nature-focused trip, staying near El Yunque National Forest would be ideal.
What are the best pet friendly hotels in Puerto Rico?
Puerto Rico has many delicious local dishes on offer. Here are a few to add to your tasting menu when you visit. Mofongo is made with fried green plaintain and comes with a serving of fish, beef or chicken. Order some Tembleque for dessert, which is a shaky, coconut pudding.

Which parts of Puerto Rico are perfect for a weekend getaway?
Old San Juan is easily explored in a weekend, offering history, culture, and great food. A weekend trip to Vieques or Culebra focuses on stunning beaches and relaxation. Alternatively, a weekend exploring the rainforests and waterfalls of El Yunque National Forest offers a different kind of escape.
What are the best hotels with jacuzzi in Puerto Rico?
The best time to come to Puerto Rico is from mid-April to June, which helps you avoid the crowds of the winter season, and avoid the rainy summer season. The weather is at its most pleasant this time of year.
Is renting a car recommended for exploring Puerto Rico?
