Local stay tip

If you want solid top rated accommodation in Puerto Rico with a local touch, try looking a bit beyond San Juan’s main tourist spots. For example, in the neighborhood of Santurce, there are guesthouses and boutique hotels that have excellent reviews by people who appreciate a quieter street but still want to be close to the action. Plus, it often means you get more space or better service. Before booking, search for recent guest comments mentioning staff friendliness and neighborhood safety , those are key to feeling comfortable away from the busy tourist centers.
