Spent the day in Rincón with my new friend! We got Mexican food at Vatos Locos Taqueria (delicious and affordable) and acaí bowls and the beach was beautiful and the water was warm! Highly recommend Rincón, hoping to visit again tomorrow :)
Posted: January 25, 2025Experienced: January, 2025I stayed in several areas of Puerto Rico; from Rio Grande (near El Yunque, one of the world’s largest rainforests), Old San Juan, Miramar, Condado, Rio Piedras to Carolina. My favorite area out of all was Rio Grande-I stayed behind Coco Beach Reserve, which has a PGA Golf course. Puerto Rico overall is absolutely gorgeous, many beaches around and amazing stuff to do and see. However, the food is on the bland side (at least for me) but freshness is usually top tier. I prefer shopping and cooking at home. It is quite expensive-expect to spend anywhere from $50 and up a meal. Ubers are inexpensive if you’re in an area you can get a ride. Otherwise, you’ll need to rent a car-that and gas can add up quickly. People are generally friendly and helpful. I never once felt unsafe or worried; again use common sense when traveling and do listen to the locals about where and where not to go. I think everyone should visit at least once, given the opportunity.

The Condado area felt very safe. We stayed at an Airbnb on the beach. It was nice but my son got bed bugs from the sofa bed. I would recommend renting a car. We went to Old San Juan which was beautiful and renting jet skis. We went to sit down restaurants throughout the trip and it got very expensive. Food is overpriced.

SAN Juan was my first official solo travel (with no friends in the destination) and it was incredible fun. Never felt more safe than in San Juan, puertorricans are kind and respectful, they take care of their tourist and travelers, they’re open to share local gems and tips. You have a bunch of different activities where to choose and it’s definitely a piece of paradise in the earth. I made amazing friends, I would do it again a million times
Posted: August 8, 2024San Juan Puerto Rico has some of the most beautiful beaches and hiking spots. The locals were super friendly and most people there speak English. If you stick to well lit populated areas you should be more than safe at night. I wouldn’t recommend going to alley ways or dark areas in some of the less touristy areas. The less touristy areas were a bit sketchy but overall I felt very safe for the most part.

I moved here from Michigan early 2024. Since I’ve lived here, I’ve moved three different times (due to issues with the homeowners pet policies, nothing significant). My first neighborhood had some people down the street who would part-take in “cocacola” (if you know what I mean) and definitely dealt drugs from that house. But they never posed a threat to me or anyone else from my knowledge, it was just uncomfortable to be stared at by them walking by and the erotic behaviors from the drugs. There is an issue with homelessness here and drug use so be prepared to see this in many areas of the island. Nonetheless, the people won’t necessarily bother you. They may ask for money or make an inappropriate comment in spanish but that’s about it. Men here also choose to “honk” as a form of “flirting” if you’re out and about walking somewhere so be prepared for that. I think tourists may be more dangerous than actual locals here in all reality 😂
