Lodging

Whether you’re living that budget life or that bougie life, it’s easy to reserve lodging in Puerto Rico that suits your needs. You don’t have to settle for mainstream hotels either—it’s all about choosing what fits your personality and which Puerto Rico highlights you want to see first.

  • Airbnb: 5-star accommodations in San Juan average $75-100/night

  • VRBO: Condos, houses, and villas rented out by locals and retirees for $60-100/night—ideal for an authentic PR experience

Transportation

Transportation Puerto Rico packages

Touring Puerto Rico might just be the easiest thing you’ll ever do. 

Car rentals: All you need is your U.S. driver’s license and a GPS, and you’re ready to see some off-the-beaten-path Puerto Rico attractions. By using Puerto Rico’s three major highways, you can drive around the island in under 6 hours.

Uber: Since Uber serves greater San Juan (essentially the northeastern half of Puerto Rico), it’s super easy to get a safe ride home. An Uber is usually about the same price as a taxi but are generally more reliable and don’t require you to carry cash.

Taxis: Getting a taxi in Puerto Rico can be expensive, but they’re also easy to find. Puerto Rico is very safe on the whole, so don’t stress about taking a cab.

Ferries: To get to Puerto Rico’s incredible beaches, it’s often necessary to take a ferry. Puerto Rico’s smaller islands like Old San Juan, Vieques, and Culebra are all accessible by ferry. The ferries are seriously cheap too, averaging about $2 per ride.

Flights: Inter-island flights are a great way to travel while saving time and money. If your trip includes popular Puerto Rico vacation spots like Culebra and Vieques, definitely consider flying from San Juan or Ponce—the flight times average 30 minutes, giving you much more time to chill.

Where to go

Whether you want to see Puerto Rico’s tourist attractions or go far off the beaten path, it’s easy to see a lot of the island in a short time.

While some spots are still rebuilding from Hurricane Maria, Puerto Rico's travel advisory show’s it’s safe to explore.

Best of all, there’s no need to choose just one place to go in Puerto Rico—all you have to do pick your favorites and add them to your custom itinerary.
