Puerto Rico is one of the dreamiest places in the Caribbean, though it’s often forgotten by travelers looking for that all-inclusive resort feel of a place like St. Thomas or Barbados. All the same, leisure travelers flock to PR as one of their island destinations of choice. Why? Because PR’s picturesque ocean views, stunning El Yunque Rainforest, and bioluminescent bay views in Vieques never get old.
From the Atlantic Ocean to the Caribbean Sea, PR has far more to offer than just the sights of San Juan or the countless rum samplings. While bad weather canceled my bioluminescent bay adventures, PR immediately became a place I longed to return to. And it wasn’t just the mofongo (fried plantain mash, crunchy pork skin, and garlic) that keeps me dreaming of this shimmering isle.
What you won’t find on this list are all-inclusive resorts. They simply aren’t needed since PR is so accessible and budget-friendly. To fully experience the island you need to get out of your resort. After all, can’t see Old San Juan unless you leave your hotel!
When you’re surrounded by palm trees you too can’t help but sway, which is why the island is perfect for relaxing. Whether for you that means a fine dining restaurant, lounging on a private beach, spending the day on a golf course, or a swim-up bar, you can’t go wrong.
If you’re concerned about language barriers, consider staying in San Juan. Although PR is a U.S. territory, only about 20% of Puerto Ricans are fluent in English. You’re more likely to encounter language barriers outside of the capital city or other large metropolitan areas like Ponce. It’s a great place to practice your Spanish skills though!
¡Vale la pena! (It’s worth it!)
One of the most incredible parts of visiting Puerto Rico, especially if you’re used to driving, is that you can easily see the whole island in a day by car. The island is only 100 miles long so you can easily cross from one end to the other in a matter of hours by rental car. So let this list of the best resorts in Puerto Rico serve as your roadmap to seeing this incredible island.
