Anyone been to Puerto Rico?

Recommended Posts

Heading to PR for a few days with the family, staying outside of Old San Juan.

Anyone been there before?  Any suggestions on things to do, places to see, places to eat?  Or places not to go to?

I was in Puerto Rico last year, but on the southern end of it (Ponce), near the Caribbean Sea.   Much more laid back than San Juan.   There was a casino in my hotel, but I'm not a gambling kinda guy.  :)

I have been to different parts of PR and had a great time anytime we went. Near San Juan just take the same precautions as any large city. Check out yelp or trip advisor for some good local eats. There are a lot of local shops in the area if you are waking around. Too bad you aren't there longer there are some other great places to check out but would require some driving.

If you rent a car, get the damage waiver. Everyone drives like Mad Max and the roads look like they they were carpet bombed.

Thanks, that is what I have heard!  Still up in the air about getting a car, everyone we talk too says use Uber, but I know there are some places they can't go and the taxi drivers give them a hard time.

Second the recommendation on the Old San Juan hotel.  GREAT rooms, very good crowd in the evening at the bar.  They even have a cigar roller on hand to whip up a custom stogie. 
If you wish to stay closer to the old city, go to the Marriott Stellaris Resort and Casino. Its in Condado and is a great place, right on the beach with plenty of gaming action at night.  Here is a link>> http://www.marriott.com/hotels/hotel-photos/sjupr-san-juan-marriott-resort-and-stellaris-casino/

Picayo is best restaurant meal had in my entire life.  I ate there two nights in a row. 

El San Juan hotel for nightlife vibe. 

Thanks Barms, I will definitely give it a try!

    • What's the crime for riding a dirt bike on the street? Most likely a fine, misdemeanor at most. That justifies causing severe bodily injury through use of lethal force by auto?  There is no way to predict that he would have hit anyone, it's more like a 99.9% he wouldn't have hit anyone.  And that was a 2 lane road, not a pedestrian walkway. Hopefully he hires a good lawyer and everyone is held accountable for their actions.
    • Seriously? “Sounds Fishy”? You can’t think of a reason why the cop thought that was going to happen after watching the video? The cops are there after multiple reports/complaints of vehicles in the pedestrian walkway and reports of near misses. The ATV is on a pedestrian walkway where there are not supposed to be any vehicles and is moving at very fast pace. If he couldn’t stop for the police car, what makes you think he could stop in time for a pedestrian. He dynamited the breaks to avoid hitting the car and lost complete control of the ATV. Luckily the mass of the car prevented it from continuing to tumble down the walkway and take out pedestrians like bowling pins. If he had hit the brakes like that to avoid hitting a pedestrian instead of the car, would the ATV not have flipped? What would the now out of control ATV have done to any people in the walkway? Would the first person be hit have enough mass to stop the ATV in its proverbial tracks? I have seen plenty of pedestrians stuck. It is never like the movies. They don’t parkour out of the way of a speeding car - especially when pushing a baby carriage and the vehicle is approaching from the rear in a place where you think you are safe because vehicles are it permitted.

    • Why would he think the ATV rider was going to run over the pedestrians? Were the pedestrians laying in the road? Sounds fishy. A good lawyer will have a field day with this one.
    • If I lived in the hills, (or the burbs with a tall tree) I'd invest in at least one dedicated repeater and a solar based system to power it.  I don't think you need a tremendous amount of battery capacity, as the repeater will be on standby most of the time.  It will only draw serious current when it transmits. I think one could set up a reliable, self sustaining private node for around $1,500, maybe less.   Agree 100%
