Check out the Bahía Bioluminiscente. Completely worth it and something you don't see in many places! I did it with my Mom & sister and it was a bit scary because you have to meet up around midnight and my Mom could't kayak but the folks were very nice, friendly, helpful; and we felt safe. It something I always reccomend when people go to Puerto Rico.
This is a must!
My husband and I loved the Casablanca Hotel in SJ. No pool, but lovely, local, and relatively affordable
4-5 nights is sufficient. PR is small. Check weather in advance. I stayed at the Ritz, which wasn’t that expensive a few years ago and was located on the strip where all the hotels are, across the airport. I’d recommend somewhere there? Also heard of some nice small boutique or Airbnb type places in old San Juan. Enjoy!
The ritz in isla verde is nice - the beach is also decent.
There’s more to do in the condado area, but the beach is not great.
The ritz in dorado is pretty spectacular
Make sure you visit playa buye, Cabo rojo beach
PR is one of our favorite mother-daughter destinations! We like to stay at Caribe Hilton. Barrachina and Bistro Cafe (brunch) are good places to eat. Balneario Condado and Viejo San Juan are great areas to check out. Explore and have a great time!
Do not stay in any of the Marriotts . Not going to make the PR experience better. Consider local establishments
Casablanca… it’s small but you will like e
This makes me miss my mom. 😥 Enjoy every minute of your trip!
Thanks for all the suggestions! Anyone rent a car in PR? We would like to visit El Yunque national forest and it looks like we need a car to get there.
If you feel you need a car ONLY for going to the forest then you could consider some of the taxis. We had a driver drop us and pick us up when the tour was done. Just ensure whoever you choose has the necessary permits to enter the forest and drop you where you need to go.
