I want to travel to Puerto Rico and need some advice on where to stay, eat, things to do and see...let me know. Price ranges for a 5-day trip would be nice
Answer
Puerto Rico is extremely diverse. We have beaches, dry forests, rain forests, mountains and small islands. There is eco type tourism, luxury hotels and the in between local paradores, also vacation home rentals. So depending on what you love to do, what you want to do and what you can afford to do there are many different answers to your question.
If you love to shop, gamble, eat out and go out then San Juan is the obvious choice. You can stay in Condado, Old San Juan or Isla Verde. The hotels are pricey in these areas, but there are also vacation rentals for a lot less if a resort is out of your budget. While here you can visit many of the tourist attractions like Old San Juan, EL Yunque (rain forest), take day trips out to the Camuey Caverns and go south to Guavate where the famous Lechon (whole roasted pig) is made.
IF you are more into a small Intimate setting and are a lover of nature you can stay right in the rain forest, which is only a 30 min drive from San Juan. For this you do need a rental car. But I believe that anyone who wants to really see PR needs a car anyway. There are a few options for accommodations in the rain forest. http://villasevilla.net/ http://www.rainforestinn.com/ http://www.coquishideaway.com/
If you like a big beach resort with all the accommodations, including a water park and access to a ferry that takes you to a private beach for world class snorkeling then El Conquistador is your place to go. http://www.elconresort.com/
Surfing and diving your thing, then out west is where you should be in Rincon. Stay at the Rincon Beach resort http://www.rinconbeach.com/ http://www.puertoricodaytrips.com/dive-desecheo-island/
Things to do in PR
Old San Juan historical sites
Bacardi rum factory tour
El Yunque Rain Forest
Camuey Caverns
Caja de Muerto
Gilligan's Island
Hiking in Toro Negrro
Cueva Ventana in Utuado
Dos Bocas, lunch on the lake
Vieques Bio Bay
BEACHES!!
