Frequently asked questions about hotels in Puerto Rico
What are the best landmarks to visit in Puerto Rico?
For iconic landmarks, you've got to see El Morro and Castillo San Felipe del Morro in Old San Juan, amazing examples of Spanish colonial fortifications. Then there's the Bacardi Rum Distillery in Cataño, offering tours and stunning views. For natural beauty, El Yunque National Forest is a must-see, with its lush rainforest and waterfalls. And don't forget the bioluminescent bays in Vieques or Fajardo – a truly unforgettable experience.
What are the most popular 2, 3 and 4-star hotels in Puerto Rico?
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 around Vieques or Culebra is incredible. Hiking through El Yunque National Forest offers breathtaking views and diverse flora and fauna. For something different, try zip-lining through the rainforest canopy.
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 warm and sunny, and there's less rainfall. However, this is also peak season, so expect higher prices and more crowds. The shoulder seasons (May-June and September-November) offer a good balance of 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 history buffs, with its colonial architecture and charming atmosphere. For a 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 want a mix of city life and natural beauty, consider staying near Luquillo Beach and exploring El Yunque National Forest.
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. For a fishy snack, try bacalaitos, codfish fritters seasoned with Adobo, you can find these from kiosks all around the island.
Which parts of Puerto Rico are perfect for a weekend getaway?
Old San Juan is easily explored in a weekend, offering a rich history and vibrant culture. Alternatively, a weekend trip to Vieques or Culebra focuses on beautiful beaches and relaxed island life. For a nature-focused escape, consider a weekend exploring El Yunque National Forest and the surrounding areas.
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?
Renting a car is highly recommended, especially if you plan to explore beyond San Juan. Public transport is limited outside the main cities, and a car gives you the freedom to visit beaches, national parks, and other attractions at your own pace. However, be prepared for some challenging driving conditions in certain areas.
What are the best hotels with a swimming pool in Puerto Rico?
Yes, major credit cards are widely accepted in most tourist areas and larger establishments. However, it's always a good idea to carry some local currency (US dollar) for smaller businesses or street vendors.
What are the largest airports in Puerto Rico?
The two main airports are Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU) in San Juan and Rafael Hernández Airport (BQN) in Aguadilla. SJU is the larger and busier of the two, serving most international flights.
Are there any unwritten rules of behaviour visitors should know about Puerto Rico?
Puerto Ricans are generally friendly and welcoming. Learning a few basic Spanish phrases is appreciated. Being respectful of local customs and traditions is important. It's also polite to greet people with a handshake or a kiss on the cheek (depending on the relationship).
What local specialties should you try in Puerto Rico?
You absolutely must try mofongo (fried plantains mashed with garlic and other ingredients), lechón asado (slow-roasted pig), and arroz con gandules (rice with pigeon peas). Also, explore the local seafood – it's incredibly fresh and delicious.
Where are the best shopping spots in Puerto Rico?
Old San Juan offers a variety of shops selling souvenirs, crafts, and local products. The Plaza Las Américas in San Juan is a large shopping mall with international and local brands. For a more authentic experience, explore the smaller shops and markets in various towns across the island.
What signature events or festivals take place in Puerto Rico?
The San Sebastián Street Festival in San Juan is a vibrant celebration of music, food, and culture. Fiestas de la Calle San Sebastián is a well-known event. There are also many smaller local festivals throughout the year celebrating different saints and traditions.
What’s the best place in Puerto Rico for mild and comfortable weather?
The coastal areas generally have milder temperatures throughout the year. Areas like San Juan, Condado, and Isla Verde offer a consistently pleasant climate. However, even these areas can experience higher humidity during certain months.
What are the most common travel mistakes tourists make in Puerto Rico?
One common mistake is underestimating travel times between locations. Another is not learning some basic Spanish phrases. Failing to bring appropriate clothing for both warm and potentially rainy weather is also a frequent oversight. And finally, not booking accommodations and tours in advance, particularly during peak season.
What are some hidden gems to explore in Puerto Rico?
The Toro Negro Forest Reserve offers stunning scenery and hiking trails less crowded than El Yunque. The town of Ponce, with its historic architecture and vibrant culture, is often overlooked. And exploring the smaller islands, like Culebra and Vieques, beyond the main tourist areas, reveals hidden beaches and tranquil settings.
