Puerto rico guide: Guide to Planning the Perfect Road Trip
Guide to Planning the Perfect Road Trip
Book the flight and pack
You can make the most of your time in Puerto Rico by catching an early flight, especially if your travel itinerary requires a connecting flight to SJU.
No, you don’t need a passport -if you’re a U.S. citizen- to enter Puerto Rico. All you need is a valid ID with a photo, as you would if you travel anywhere else in the country.
Since Puerto Rico uses U.S. dollars as a currency, you don’t need to worry about exchange rates, but you should call your bank and let them know you are traveling so they don’t freeze your account while you’re enjoying yourself in the heart and soul of the Caribbean.
When packing, be sure to include summer-like attires for day and night, as the weather in Puerto Rico is warm, ranging from 70 to 80 degrees throughout the year with the occasional rain shower. So, shorts, tank tops, flowy dresses, comfortable shoes, and sunglasses are recommended– there’s a lot of walking while touring! If you forget something – whether it is clothing, toiletries, medicine, or else, there are convenience stores and pharmacies (both chain and local) to keep you covered.
Facts about Puerto Rico
Renting a car and getting around
The most convenient way to get across (and back) the Island is by renting a car, and by doing so, you can plan multiple road trips that include some beach time, landmarks, forests, and more. Most companies require you to be at least 25 years old and have a valid driver’s license to rent a car in Puerto Rico. And, as all the major car rental companies have a presence on the Island, you can avoid all the paperwork and hassle by processing your rental before your arrival. All you have to do is go to the company’s booth at the airport, take their shuttle to pick up the car, and head out towards adventure. On average, the car rental costs $14 per day plus insurance. There are also local companies outside the metropolitan region (including Vieques and Culebra).
Once your rental is set, you can navigate the Island with ease, following road signs and GPS such as Google Maps, Maps, and Waze, which work fine in Puerto Rico.
Parking may be scarce, depending on the location you are headed. Before you depart your lodging accommodation be sure to double-check if there are public parking spaces nearby or if you will need to street park your rental.
Crossing from one town to another may require some pay tolls along the way, but most rentals already include the AutoExpreso tag (just like an EZ-Pass) since most tolls have gone cashless. Recharging stations are available at almost every pay toll.
Note: Keep in mind the Island’s rush hours are from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., especially if you choose to drive around the metropolitan region.
Pro tip: Make a list of all the places you wish to visit before booking your hotel or vacation rental and see which town should become your «departure hub» during your stay.

Puerto Rico is beloved by travelers around the world, and for good reason.
From the bioluminescent bays to the friendly and welcoming locals — not to mention some of the most delectable food around — the colorful houses in Old San Juan to beautiful rainforests and beach resorts on the coastline, each part of Puerto Rico offers visitors a distinctly different experience. And there’s simply never a bad time to visit. Better yet, you can frequently find cheap flight deals, and if you’re traveling from the U.S., you don’t even need a passport.
In short: Paradise awaits.

For people concerned about the recent earthquakes, tourism officials assure us Puerto Rico is very much open and eager for travelers to continue visiting the island, which relies heavily on tourism. This, after all, is a small Caribbean island with a resilient culture and people who are incredibly proud of their home — people who know their hardships don’t define the island’s past, present or future.
San Juan, Puerto Rico (Photo by Liz Hund/TPG)
Last fall, I spent several days in San Juan and was blown away my trip. While I understand why people might be on the fence about visiting, everyone I met wanted me to spread the message that Puerto Rico is a great place to go. And after a few days there, I can wholeheartedly attest to the same.
I recently sat down with the Brad Dean, CEO of the island’s official tourism guide, Discover Puerto Rico. He wants travelers to know that the island is «open for tourism,» saying, «the good news for visitors is flights [are] operating fully and have not been disrupted.»
«All three commercial airports are open and operational. The cruise ports are still open — there was a five-day period after the earthquakes where we had almost 60,000 cruise passengers disembark in Old San Juan.»

Where to eat and drink in Puerto Rico
When in the Caribbean (or anywhere, really), you’ll want to skip the chain restaurants and opt for the local cuisine. Whenever I arrive at a new location, I’ll ask some of the first people I meet about their favorite places to eat. In Puerto Rico, my Uber driver from the airport enthusiastically explained the first dish I needed to try was none other than the island’s famous mofongo.
During our chat, Dean also recommended mofongo. «Wherever you find it, it’s been handmade,» he said. «So you’re getting a real taste of the Puerto Rican passion.»
Where to eat mofongo
Mofongo is a Puerto Rican specialty made of fried plantains and served with both fried meat and chicken broth soup. I tried it out for myself at Barrachina in Old San Juan, a colorful restaurant with a light-filled courtyard. My meal (a combination of mofongo-style beef, chicken and shrimp) came out steaming hot and covered in broth and gravy.
The mashed plantains even reminded me of the yams I grew up eating at Thanksgiving. I topped off the meal with a piña colada (although I probably should have opted for a mojito).
Puerto Rican Mofongo made from plantains, garlic and chicharron served with meat and broth close-up on a plate on the table.
TPG reader Liam C. recommended stopping at Piñones, near San Juan Airport (SJU) for authentic Puerto Rican food. When asked about what to try first, he suggested alcapurria, empanadillas, pinchos or bacalao.
«Pinchos are like shish kabobs,» he explained, «usually chicken, pork [or] beef on a stick, grilled and covered with garlic or some other sauce, and served with a piece of ‘pan sobao,’ [Puerto Rico’s] take on Cuban bread, but a bit softer.»
The best restaurants in Puerto Rico
Café Puerto Rico in Old San Juan is the perfect place to enjoy an appetizer (opt for the sorullitos de maiz — basically deep-fried corn meal fritters) as you watch passersby stroll through the Plaza de Colón.
And don’t even think about flying home without trying the crabmeat-stuffed tostones at Ropa Vieja Grill, located in the Condado neighborhood of San Juan.
If you want to splurge, Puerto Rico has a handful of restaurants for you, too.
Marmalade, also in Old San Juan is a well-loved upscale restaurant with a five-star rating on TripAdvisor, and offers a four- or six-course tasting menu, complete with dishes like highly stylized dishes including pacific yellowtail poke, gnocchi and paella.
Frequent travelers also recommend Santaella in San Juan, where you can expect authentic Latin American cuisines such as alcapurria and calamares fritos.
En route to my hotel, my Uber driver emphasized the importance of exploring Puerto Rico’s food scene beyond San Juan, and many TPG readers agreed.
Located in Cayey (about 30 minutes from Caguas, in the center of the island), Lechonera El Rancho Original has been serving the people of Puerto Rico for four decades.
You come here to enjoy authentic Puerto Rican cuisine and dance late into the evening.
The Kioskos de Luquillo is a collection of Mom and Pop restaurants that are great for a casual bite after leaving nearby Luquillo Beach. You’ll be able to find seafood, barbecue and crack open a cold beer.
What to see and do in Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico has a ton of sightseeing that you’ll want to add to your itinerary, too. We even asked TPG readers to weigh in on some of their favorites so you don’t miss a single standout activity on your trip to Puerto Rico.
El Yunque National Rainforest is just 45 minutes from San Juan, and the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. It’s famous for its incredible hiking, abundance of waterfalls and endemic wildlife. Just be advised that some trails and recreational areas remain inaccessible despite ongoing hurricane recovery efforts. Airbnb Experiences has several affordable guided tour options if you’d rather not venture into the rainforest alone.

If you’re a fan of the sciences, you’re going to love Arecibo Observatory, known for discovering that Mercury’s rotation period was only 59 days — not 88 as previously thought. Even if you’re more of a casual science enthusiast, visiting this museum is a fun rainy day activity. Just know it’s about an hour and a half drive from San Juan.
Ponce is Puerto Rico’s second-largest city. Located on the southern coast of the island, it’s full of history and a little more off the beaten path. Be sure to check out Plaza de las Delicias, which has a cathedral as well as an old firehouse that’s now a museum.
Travelers who are into swimming or snorkeling, the bioluminescence at La Parguera is «cooler than the kayak sites» according to one TPG reader. Another recommends using a tour company to organize a day trip to Bioluminescent Bay (also called Mosquito Bay) on the island Vieques, off Puerto Rico’s eastern shore.
If you don’t care much for night swims or glowing microorganisms, Puerto Rico is replete with gorgeous, sandy beaches. Near Luquillo, where you’ll find those Kioskos de Luquillo, La Pared, is an often deserted stretch of almost golden sand. The beach town of Naguabo, in the southeast corner of the island, also incredibly quiet, and palm trees frame the soft, sandy beach and turquoise water. On the stretch known as Suroma, you might find egrets, and crabs.
Museo de la Música Puertoriqueña has a rich history dating back to the 19th century. Here, you’ll find traces of Taíno, Spanish and African influences. You’ll also learn about Puerto Rico’s musical history, which you can now hear throughout other parts of the Caribbean, the mainland and around the world.

Where to stay in Puerto Rico
I flew down to Puerto Rico at the end of October in search of a quick, cheap getaway.
I had three criteria for a beach vacation: the flight needed to be under four hours, the destination needed to have Hyatt resorts and, overall, the trip needed to be reasonably affordable. I then narrowed my choices down to the Bahamas, Aruba and Puerto Rico, finally choosing the latter because of a fantastic Hyatt resort I discovered.

Hyatt Regency Grand Reserve Puerto Rico
My stay at the Hyatt Regency Grand Reserve Puerto Rico was the pinnacle of luxury.
During my stay in late October, the resort was pretty empty and I felt like I had the property to myself. Upon arrival, I received a complimentary upgrade — even without status! — from a king garden room to a room with a clawfoot tub. The room was stocked with luxury bath products and a Nespresso machine, and was just steps away from the beach. If you’re a golf fan, you’ll also love the 18-hole course.
The best part of the hotel, though, is the price. As a Category 3 property, the hotel is just 12,000 Hyatt points a night, which you can earn from spending on the World of Hyatt Credit Card or from transferring Chase Ultimate Rewards points to Hyatt at a 1:1 ratio.
I spent most of my time reading on the private beach and drinking mimosas at the swim-up bar. Cash prices hover around $330 a night, and I paid the equivalent of $204 per night. What a steal!
Since it was a new hotel, the service was still a little one the slow side, although very well-intentioned. The only major downside is how far it is from San Juan, as well as the lack of places to eat near the resort. If you stay here, you’ll likely want to rent a car, as it’s at least a 50-minute drive from the city.
Hilton Ponce Golf & Casino Resort
The Hilton Ponce Golf & Casino Resort is the only Hilton hotel located outside of the San Juan area, as well as home to one of the largest casinos in Puerto Rico.
It has a 27-hole golf course, as well as a large pool and tennis courts.
While it isn’t the fanciest Hilton property in Puerto Rico, it’s a pretty good deal if you find yourself on the other side of the island. An oceanfront patio room will typically set you back 50,000 Hilton Honors points a night. Keep in mind that if you hold Hilton Honors elite status, you’ll enjoy a fifth night free on all award stays of five nights or longer.
Sheraton Puerto Rico Hotel & Casino
The Sheraton Puerto Hotel & Casino, a Category 5 Marriott Bonvoy property, is located 10 minutes from San Juan Airport and just five minutes from Old San Juan. It features a world-class casino, spa, sundeck and infinity pool. It’s located right near the beach, too.
If you can find off-peak award availability, you’ll need just 30,000 Marriott points per night to stay here. Standard awards start at 35,000 points per night, and peak awards cost 40,000, all of which you can cover by transferring American Express Membership Rewards points or Chase Ultimate Rewards points to Marriott.
If you still find yourself short, the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless Credit Card will net you 100,000 Bonus Points after you spend $3,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening. The Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant® American Express® Card offers up to 125,000 Marriott Bonvoy points. Earn 100,000 bonus points after you spend $5,000 in purchases on your new Card in your first 3 months. Plus, earn an additional 25,000 bonus points after your first anniversary of Card Membership. Enjoy complimentary Platinum Elite status with your Card for the 2021 status year. Offer Expires 1/13/2021.
The St. Regis Bahia Beach Resort, Puerto Rico

The St. Regis Bahia Beach Resort is, by far, the most luxurious on this list.
The sprawling, 139-room oceanfront property boasts an 18-hole golf course, spa and is close to El Yunque National Rainforest. TPG reviews editor Nick Ellis stayed there last year and loved it.
TPG Lounge member Amy also highly recommends the resort. «As a [Marriott] Titanium Elite, we had free breakfast … and we had the most spectacular oceanfront suite,» she said.
The hotel is considered to be one of the island’s best, and it’s not difficult to see why. Although the resort closed for several months following Hurricane Maria, it’s back and better than ever, following a $60 million renovation that redesigned and refurbished the guest rooms completely.
Since it’s a Category 8 Marriott property, it will cost you 70,000 points per night for an off-peak award, 80,000 points per night for a standard award and 100,000 points per night for an award night during peak travel times.
Remember that you’ll get the fifth night free when booking an award stay with Marriott, even at luxury ones like the St. Regis.
Several hotels are currently in the works and scheduled to open this year, according to Brad Dean from Discover Puerto Rico. These include the Aloft Hotel at the Convention Center and Zafira St.
Clair, a boutique property on Vieques. Several more hotels and resorts around the island have reopened since Maria, including The Fox Hotel in Ponce, Dorado Beach, A Ritz-Carlton Reserve and Boho Beach Club.
«Some islands and destinations might be somewhat limited, maybe more for a high-end consumer or another type of traveler. Puerto Rico runs the gamut of accommodation options,» Dean said, pointing out that travelers can also consider short-term rentals.
What to skip
If you’re pressed for time, you’re probably wondering what you can exclude from your Puerto Rico itinerary. The TPG Lounge had a few suggestions for that, too.
One TPG reader, Adam, called the Bacardi Tour «a simulated distillery.» Some travelers find the island of Vieques boring, yet it’s just as popular with others. As for me? It’s on my 2020 travel list.
My personal skip suggestion: Old San Juan. I know, I know. It’s beautiful. Stunning, really.
But I don’t recommend spending more than a day there.
I didn’t expect it to be similar to Old Havana, which I loved when I visited Cuba three years ago, but I found it to be heavily commercialized with numerous chain restaurants and even a Marshall’s.
During my time in Old San Juan, I decided to focus on the history and culture. I went shopping at an Afro-Latino art store and visited the Catedral Metropolitana Basílica de San Juan Bautista, one of the oldest buildings in the city. The food was great — it’s where I had the fantastic mofongo, remember? — but I personally wouldn’t spend longer than a day here.
The details
Getting there
If you’re interested in visiting Puerto Rico, flights are plentiful. Puerto Rico has more than 200 daily flights and more than 80 daily nonstop flights between the island and major mainland U.S. cities, according to Discover Puerto Rico. That means you can fly nonstop between the island and cities like New York-JFK, Miami (MIA), Fort Lauderdale (FLL) and Chicago (ORD). Most of the nonstop routes are to San Juan.
Deals are plentiful, with low-cost carriers like Spirit and Frontier frequently dropping fares as low as $96 round-trip. Just keep in mind that these airlines nickel and dime you for everything, and you’ll end up paying for carry-on and checked baggage.
Of course, a cheap deal isn’t the only way to get to the island.
You can easily use points and miles to get you from major cities to Puerto Rico. American offers off-peak MileSAAver awards from 25,000 miles round-trip in economy (though I’ve seen as low as 20,000 with a stop) or 50,000 in first. While United no longer publishes an award chart, generally expect to spend between 17,500 and 25,000 miles for a one-way ticket from cities like Newark (EWR) and Chicago (ORD). I spotted round-trip fares on Delta from Atlanta (ATL) to San Juan for 12,000 SkyMiles in basic economy or 14,000 miles in the main cabin.
If you want to fly in a lie-flat seat in business class, American operates a Boeing 767-300 equipped with these seats from Miami (MIA) and Philadelphia (PHL).
On the other hand, United operates its B/E Aerospace Diamond-fit Boeing 767-400ER between Newark (EWR) and San Juan (SJU).
But perhaps the best way to use points to visit Puerto Rico is through JetBlue.
(Photo by Zach Griff/The Points Guy)
On JetBlue, you have several destinations beyond San Juan to consider. For instance, you could fly from New York-JFK to Aguadilla (BQN) for just 8,100 TrueBlue points or Ponce (PSE) for 8,500 points one-way. If you’re coming from another U.S. Caribbean territory, such as the U.S. Virgin Islands, you could quickly fly between the two islands for just 9,800 TrueBlue points plus $5.60 in taxes and fees round-trip.
You can transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards points to JetBlue at a 1:1 ratio, so this could be the best value for your points.
JetBlue is a transfer partner of American Express Membership Rewards, as well, but you won’t get as much value out of them: For every 250 Amex points you transfer, you’ll only get 200 in return. Amex also charges a 0.
06 cents per point excise tax recovery fee on domestic transfers (up to $99).
You can also transfer Citi ThankYou Rewards to JetBlue, though the transfer ratio isn’t great — either 1 to 0.8 or 1 to 0.5, depending on which Citi ThankYou card you have.
Finally, the Brex Exclusive Rewards program is also a JetBlue transfer partner, and you can transfer points at a 1:1 ratio.
Do you need a passport to go to Puerto Rico?
Nope! Puerto Rico is an unincorporated U.S. territory, so you don’t need a passport or a visa to visit if you’re a US citizen. Just bring your state ID and you’ll be good to go.
Getting around
While you’ll find plenty of Ubers on the island, I found it to be a bit too pricey for my budget. Case in point: Getting from the airport to my resort in Rio Grande was $50 one-way. All told, I spent about $145 on Uber during the three days I spent on the island.
Most people I encountered spoke English, although it’s always helpful to know at least some Spanish.
I did practice my Spanish with Uber drivers on the long drive from San Juan to the resort, and everyone helped me correct my verbs and accents.

If you plan to stay in neighborhoods like Old San Juan, you probably won’t need a car, Uber or taxi since the area is pretty walkable.
You can also take advantage of the Old San Juan trolley. This three-route tram runs Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. It stops at the famous castles, Old San Juan’s central shopping district and more. You’ll just want to be mindful of when the cruise ships arrive so you can plan ahead to get a seat on the trolley.
If you’re a public transportation geek like me, make sure the Tren Urbano is on your radar. It’s an 11-mile rapid transit system that serves San Juan, Guaynabo and Bayamón. The trip between Bayamón and San Juan is just 30 minutes and the one-line train system has 16 stops; it passes through the University of Puerto Rico as well as the Santa Rosa Shopping mall.
It’s very affordable, too: A regular fare is just $1.50 and if you’re between the ages of 60 and 74, just .75 cents. Better yet, if you’re six years and younger or 75 and older, it’s free.
I briefly mentioned that I would rent a car next time I visit Puerto Rico, as the resort I stayed at was nearly an hour away from San Juan, and at least a 10-minute drive from the nearest grocery store. The major rental companies to consider include Avis, Enterprise and Hertz, all of which are located at the airport.
One perk of many credit cards is car rental coverage if you’re in an accident or have your rental vehicle stolen or otherwise damaged. Some popular credit cards that offer primary car rental coverage include:
- Chase Sapphire Preferred Card
- Chase Sapphire Reserve
- Ink Business Preferred Credit Card
- Ink Business Cash Credit Card
- Ink Business Unlimited Credit Card
- United Explorer Card
- United Business Card
- United Club Infinite Card
- United Club Business Card
- Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card
- The Blue Business®️ Plus Credit Card from American Express
- Amex EveryDay® Preferred Credit Card from American Express
The information for the United Club Business Card, Hilton Aspire Amex card, Amex Everyday Preferred has been collected independently by The Points Guy.
The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.
The Chase Sapphire Reserve and Chase Sapphire Preferred Card, for instance, both provide primary car rental coverage for rentals in most countries. Rentals of up to 31 consecutive days paid for with either card are covered for losses, including physical damage and/or theft of the rental vehicle, valid loss-of-use charges assessed by the rental company and reasonable and customary towing charges related to a covered loss.

The details of the policies vary slightly between the two cards, so be sure to read through your benefits for full details.
The best times to visit Puerto Rico
The majority of hurricanes in Puerto Rico typically occur between August and October, while hurricane season runs from June 1 to Nov. 30, according to the U.S. National Weather Service. Notably, Hurricane Maria made landfall on Sept.
20, 2017.

Many people I spoke with on the island said «summertime is all the time» in Puerto Rico, with temperatures hovering in the 80s daily. If you’re trying to avoid the infamous daily Caribbean rains, you’ll want to plan to visit between January and March, as precipitation is low.
Take a one-way cruise to Puerto Rico (Nick Ellis/The Points Guy)
If you want to avoid the hordes of people traveling during spring break but still want to visit before hurricane season kicks in, the spring is the best time to score flight and hotel breaks. As an added bonus, you’ll have the beach all to yourself.
Bottom line
Puerto Rico has come a long way since Hurricane Maria in 2017, and let it be known that the island is open for travelers — and eager for the business. From beach resorts to landmarks, excellent food and great hospitality, there’s something for everyone who makes the short flight down to visit.
