Thread: Puerto Rico! Thinking of going, anyone been there?

Id like to go to Puerto Rico this summer, anyone ever been there? Any suggestions where to go?

I live here and i love it! A friend of mine just moved in from California because of work and he says he doesn't want to leave never! I guess he validates my opinion, huh!

I've been to Ponce...which is the southern part of the island. Beautiful mountains and a nice beach. Food was good, when you find authentic. When I go again I plan on staying in the San Juan area. I hear thats nicer.

I've been to San Juan a few times, its a pretty nice place if you speak Spanish. I love all the old architecture and the castle

I go about 3-6 times a year. family lives there, and i love it!

oh, as far as where to go.

el yunque rainforest, old san juan, new san juan, vieques, a baseball game, bacardi factory, a race track to watch....

shoot me a pm of what you wanna do, and i can make a nice list.

and you have to rent a car. Its like life size mario cart driving down there

El Yunque was pretty sweet to hike around, just be ready to sweat as the humidity is 100% within the rainforest ecosystem.

Old San Juan and the fort had some incredible photo spots and vistas; however, I didn't really care for San Juan as a city itself, we thought it was rather dirty and didnt offer much beyond a regular city.

I loved Vieques and Culebra - take the ferry there if you have a chance and see the incredible beaches there.

My personal favorite beaches were towards the west coat near Isabela and Aguadilla - there was an incredible beach for snorkeling near Isabela, I think it was called "Shacks" beach, but we loved it.

And stock up on rum while there - there are a ton of brands to choose from and it's insanely cheap compared to the US.

Its like life size mario cart driving down there

My sister told me dodging the stray dogs is like dodging the turtle shells in Mario Kart.
I'll definately shoot you a PM once I figure out when I'll be going.

And watch out for the iguanas too!!!

been there a few times. it's one incredible place that combines amazing venues, sightseeing, nature and awesome hospitality.

rent a car when you are there. drive to the ocean spot on the south side to checkout the glowing sea water.
