Where should I go and what should I do in Puerto Rico?
No Passport, World-Class Luxury - Fly domestic, skip currency exchange, enjoy US consumer protections
Bioluminescent Magic - Paddle through electric blue waters at Mosquito Bay or Laguna Grande under a new moon. It's the most magical natural phenomenon you'll ever witness.
Colonial History Meets Fine Dining - 16th-century forts like Castillo San Felipe del Morro frame Old San Juan's cobblestone streets and Michelin-worthy restaurants. Marmalade and 1919 book 2–3 weeks out.
El Yunque's Hidden Waterfall Hikes - Private guides lead you through the only tropical rainforest in the US National Forest System. Zero crowds, pristine waterfalls, pure seclusion.
Private Beaches & Championship Golf - Dorado's Robert Trent Jones Jr. course and untouched 2-mile private beach feel like your own island. Butler service is standard.
When should I go to Puerto Rico?
December–April — Peak season, perfect dry weather, clear skies. Busier season so book early.
May–June — Sweet spot: rates usually drop, weather still excellent, restaurants easier to reserve.
What do I need to know for a trip to Puerto Rico?
Book a hotel transfer or rental car in advance; rideshare coverage is limited outside San Juan proper.
Wear comfortable walking shoes for Old San Juan's cobblestone streets.
Learn basic Spanish phrases; locals genuinely appreciate the effort, and English isn't universal outside tourist areas.
Dress code is ultra-casual even at upscale restaurants; linen and island wear are the norm.
Pre-book any sunset cruises, snorkel excursions, or specialized tours (golf at Dorado, private yacht charters), they sell out in advance during peak season.
The Royal Sonesta San Juan hotel offers an ideal location overlooking Isla Verde Beach and the sparkling Atlantic Ocean. Embrace the laid-back vibe of the island as you stroll the white sandy beaches and listen to the soothing sounds of ocean waves.
Ideally located on a former coconut farm and situated between the El Yunque National Forest and Espíritu Santo River State Preserve, The St. Regis Bahia Beach Resort is set on 483 pristine acres and 2 miles of secluded beach with stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean.
Escape to a picturesque island locale unlike any other. At Wyndham Grand Rainforest, Beach & Resort, the placid charm of golden beachfront and sapphire seas meets the natural beauty of El Yunque rainforest.
Puerto Rico Vibes: Coast-to-Coast Salsa Energy and Natural Wonders
Puerto Rico is a vibe of colorful energy exploding on the blue cobbled streets of Old San Juan and wide turquoise Atlantic views as far as the eyes can see.
The best Puerto Rico resorts and hotels sit right there along the Atlantic. Accommodations offer everything from historic rooms to private plunge pools with stretches of secluded beach spread out ahead of you.
The island's magic is rooted in its nature. Explore one of the world's largest underground river cave systems in the Camuy Caverns, then sail off into the sunset on a horseback ride across the beaches of Isabella. After dark, take a kayak out to see the sparkling Mosquito Bay, home to the world's brightest bioluminescence, to feel like you're floating through a fairyland.
From salsa dancing in the vibrant Condado neighborhood to hiking the waterfalls of the tropical rainforest of El Yunque, Puerto Rico delivers adventure. You can tour local cacao farms to see how beans are turned into chocolate and then scour SeaGlass Beach in Vieques for an ocean-polished souvenir.
Although Puerto Rico is unforgettable, a memento will remind you to return again and again.
