Transportation
Uber — Recommended
Available throughout Isla Verde & San Juan metro. Always use at night. Not available in rural mountain areas (Orocovis, Toro Verde).
Local taxis
White taxis at hotels & airports. Negotiate fare before getting in — meters not always used. Ask hotel to call a reliable one.
Safety Tips
Nothing in the car
Never leave bags, electronics, cash, or passports visible in a parked vehicle — even for a minute.
Beaches after dark
Avoid the beach alone after midnight. Stick to well-lit areas near the hotels.
Don't drink & drive
DUI laws are strictly enforced. Limit 0.08%. Always take Uber after a night out.
Intense sun
Use SPF 50+ sunscreen, reapply every 2 hours. Avoid prolonged exposure 10 AM–3 PM.
Stay hydrated
Heat and humidity dehydrate you fast — drink water constantly, especially at the beach or drinking alcohol.
Power outages
Power outages are common in PR. Keep your phone charged. Contact us if you need help.
