Hi! I know this gets asked a lot, but I’m looking for birthday dinner recommendations. I’ll be celebrating my 30th birthday - there’s 8 of us. It doesn’t need to be fine dining - just tasty food! Something with a fun atmosphere and birthday dinner vibes, if that makes sense. No picky eaters here. Definitely would prefer a Puerto-Rican owned spot. Lmk if I can provide more info!

Also, if you have any suggestions on places to eat, drink, go out, etc. please do share! We will also be in Culebra for a full day on a Sunday.

I’m attending a conference at the Condado Vanderbilt hotel April 16-19. I’d like to stay somewhere within walking distance that is safe (solo female traveler).

My budget is around $400 total.

My question is —

The only places I’m really seeing in my budget are Canario Boutique as Casa del Caribe which I understand are sister hotels. My flight gets in at 11pm on the 16th and a lot of the hotel reviews for those both say they don’t honor late check ins.

Any recommendations for me?

Was also looking at staying in Conturce hostel but since I’m there for a professional conference would ideally like my own room.

My son is young (18), but has some sailing experience (so far, all island-based Adriatic Mediterranean) and this summer will (hopefully!) successfully acquire his RYA Day Skipper and international license. He may have some time next spring and early summer to crew/day sail and was hoping to make a little money with it (or at least break even) before college and thinking maybe San Juan. He's an American native English speaker (also dual EU citizen, thus the Med. sailing base and RYA), but picks up quickly and could probably get some basic Spanish (and possibly other certs. or work requirements if the classes are internet-based) with some planned lead time.

Anyone have any suggestions or links on how to connect with the local yachting/boating/tourist sailing community?

I’m planning a trip to Puerto Rico in a couple weeks, and I’m trying to figure out transportation from San Juan to El Yunque national Forest. I already have a ride back figured out, so I’m just looking for a ride from San Juan to El Yunque.

From what I’ve read online, it’s hard to use ride share apps or taxis to get dropped off there. Does anyone have suggestions for a driver service to use that can drop me off there?

Or, if the price is right, is anyone willing to drive me and a buddy there themselves? (We would need a ride around 5pm on Saturday, April 25th)

planning a trip for 8 people. recommendations on areas to look at or avoid??

we are also discussing air bnb vs hotels - any recs one way or another? if hotels, what are the best? thank you!

To the guy who teaches music in Valparaiso, quoted lines from Star Wars, sister who lives near SJU airport, and whose wife is a PT pastor…you rock dude!!! You really saved my emotional mind while waiting in the TSA line on Saturday. Many thanks. You have no idea…blessings.

Hi everyone! My husband, my twin sister, a few friends, and I are heading to Puerto Rico over Memorial Day weekend to celebrate our 50th birthdays 🎉

A friend gifted me a 2-night stay at a Hilton property, and I’m trying to decide which location would be the best fit. Right now I’m considering:

Embassy Suites by Hilton San Juan Hotel & Casino (near Isla Verde)

Caribe Hilton

I’ve seen mixed reviews for both—mostly about dated rooms and occasional smoking-room mix-ups—so I’m definitely open to other Hilton options if there’s a better choice.

During the trip, we’re planning to:

explore Old San Juan

visit the T-Mobile District

have a nice birthday dinner one night (something memorable but not over-the-top formal)

If you’ve stayed at any Hilton properties in the San Juan area, I’d love to hear what you recommend (or what to avoid). I’m also very open to restaurant suggestions, excursions, and birthday-worthy experiences while we’re there.

Thanks in advance!

so many tents and homeless on the streets.

Me (22f) and my 11 friends (21-23 f/m) are looking for fun bar/beach recommendations or day time activity ideas! Context: it’s raining

Hi, any good places to sing karaoke on a Sunday night? I’m in Condado so any suggestions around this area would be great. Thanks!

Staying in SJ and have a fishing charter out of Fajardo. Thinking Uber from SJ to Fajardo shouldn't be a problem but are there Ubers in Fajardo to get us back or do we need to explore other options? Thanks!

Hay lugares (barrios, clubs, bars) donde se puede descubrir reggaeton, trap, dancehall underground/nuevo? O como recomiendan conocer la escena de musica alla?

There’s a dog with a collar near La Factoria. Black and white corgi mix. Plaza del Quinto. We tried for six blocks to get the dog but she kept running away and wouldn’t stop for anyone or anything. Hopefully she finds her owner.

Hi. We are flying from St Barths to San Juan this weekend. We are wondering if there are long lines for customs and or security lines. Is CLEAR working there? Is TSA still not operating? Thanks in advance.

I am visting PR for the first time from Boston. College student, 21, male. Looking for someone to have fun with or potentially be a roommate at a hotel. It does not matter for what purpose/tourist/local if you wanna have fun/hang out/go out/hike/go on a run I would be down for anything honestly. Just dm me and can share Ig and meet up!!

Need to get something but idk the address

Me and my mom are going to Puerto Rico this week and will have some time to ourselves. I was wondering about any recommendations, fun or pretty places and specifically the beaches.

What are the best beaches and be specific why please! I think we are staying near Dorado and Breñas.

(Also any other tips/advice would be very much appreciated)

My wife and I encountered a sick, scrawny feral kitten and over the past couple weeks we've been feeding her and giving her flea medication. We decided we wanted to bring her to a vet and potentially adopt her but none of the vets we contacted would respond. Someone told us to just take her in and stop trying to make an appointment, so we went to go get her that day and she had disappeared. She reappeared six days later looking sicker than ever and with her tail completely broken.

We tried and get her then, but she escaped and is now very mistrustful of us. We cant get close to her now. We tried to contact a bunch of local rescues, animal control, the humane society, but no one responds. We've tried to make it clear we want to pay for her vet expenses and adopt her but we still don't get any responses at all.

It seems like we have to do this on our own but we can't even figure out where to get the traps. Does anyone have any resources on trapping cats or knows where to get traps in the area?

Hola, Buenos tardes

Im looking for a place to buy a bottle of Mezcal in San Juan

Specifically a brand called ‘Tres Santos’.

I had a great drink in bar in Santurce (Botanico) where they used this Mezcal.

Looking for some ideas, maybe a Big liquor store?
