Frequently asked questions about hotels in Puerto Rico
What are the best landmarks to visit in Puerto Rico?
For iconic landmarks, you've got El Morro and Castillo San Felipe del Morro in Old San Juan, both offering stunning ocean views and rich history. Then there's the Bacardi Rum Distillery in Cataño, for a taste of Puerto Rican culture and a fascinating tour. For natural beauty, consider the El Yunque National Forest, a lush rainforest with waterfalls and hiking trails.
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 at Vieques or Culebra's bioluminescent bays is an unforgettable experience. Hiking in El Yunque National Forest offers stunning views and a chance to connect with nature. And of course, sampling the local cuisine is essential – mofongo, lechón asado, and piña coladas are just a few highlights.
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 generally during the winter months (December to April), when the weather is pleasant and dry. However, this is also peak season, so expect higher prices and more crowds. 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 and those who enjoy exploring charming streets and colonial architecture. For a more relaxed beach vacation, consider areas like Condado or Isla Verde in San Juan, or the quieter beaches of Vieques or Culebra. If you prefer a more adventurous trip, consider exploring the rainforest areas near 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 mix of history, culture, and delicious food. Alternatively, a weekend trip to a beach town like Luquillo, with its kiosks and relaxed atmosphere, could be ideal. For a more active getaway, consider exploring the rainforest areas near El Yunque.
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 available, but it can be limited in some areas, and a car offers greater flexibility to visit beaches, hiking trails, and other attractions at your own pace.
What are the best hotels with a swimming pool in Puerto Rico?
Yes, major credit cards are widely accepted throughout Puerto Rico, particularly in tourist areas. However, it's always a good idea to have some local currency (US dollars) on hand for smaller establishments or less touristy locations.
What are the largest airports in Puerto Rico?
The two largest airports are Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU) in San Juan and Rafael Hernández Airport (BQN) in Aguadilla. SJU is the main international airport, while BQN serves primarily domestic and some international flights.
Are there any unwritten rules of behaviour visitors should know about Puerto Rico?
Puerto Ricans are generally warm and welcoming, but it's polite to greet people with a 'Buenos días' or 'Buenas tardes'. Learning a few basic Spanish phrases is also appreciated. Being respectful of local customs and traditions is important, and dressing modestly when visiting religious sites is recommended.
What local specialties should you try in Puerto Rico?
You absolutely must try mofongo (fried plantain dish), lechón asado (roasted pig), arroz con gandules (rice with pigeon peas), and pasteles (meat-filled tamales). Don't forget the piña coladas – they originated here!
Where are the best shopping spots in Puerto Rico?
Old San Juan offers a variety of shops selling local crafts, souvenirs, and clothing. The Plaza Las Américas in San Juan is a large shopping mall with international and local brands. For a more unique shopping experience, explore the smaller boutiques and artisan shops throughout the island.
What signature events or festivals take place in Puerto Rico?
The San Sebastián Street Festival in San Juan is a massive celebration with music, food, and dancing. Fiestas de la Calle San Sebastián is another huge event held annually. Many towns and cities also host smaller festivals throughout the year, celebrating local traditions and culture.
What’s the best place in Puerto Rico for mild and comfortable weather?
The coastal areas generally offer mild and comfortable weather year-round. Areas like Condado and Isla Verde in San Juan, or the beaches of Vieques and Culebra, tend to have pleasant temperatures and sea breezes.
What are the most common travel mistakes tourists make in Puerto Rico?
One common mistake is not renting a car, limiting exploration beyond San Juan. Another is not learning a few basic Spanish phrases – it enhances interactions with locals. Underestimating the power of the sun and not applying sunscreen regularly is another frequent oversight.
What are some hidden gems to explore in Puerto Rico?
The bioluminescent bays of Vieques and Fajardo are truly magical experiences. Exploring the less-visited beaches along the island's south coast offers a more secluded and tranquil escape. The Camuy Caves are another less-visited attraction, showcasing impressive cave formations.
