Best Places to Stay in Puerto Rico for Couples

Less populated beach and very beautiful. Chairs and umbrellas are available and a little bar nearby. It was nice for me to get away from all the people. Even the same crabs will come out and play in the waves. It is a very small beach though.

Nice city beach, the water here can certainly be dangerous if you aren’t cautious and paying attention to lifeguards. Fun to play in the waves if you’re a confident swimmer. Beach chairs and umbrellas are $35/day. There are lots of hotels, restaurants and bars in the area. A great spot for simple relaxation in the sun.

Beautiful beach. Nice spots for photos. Chair and umbrella rentals available. Only about 15 minutes from the cruise port. Just note that there are no changing areas, lifeguard towers or public restrooms. Word on the street there are strong rip currents at times.

Condado Beach is in a very busy area a lot of restaurants and much congested. This beach caters more to a younger more vibing crowd. There is music being played which creates a vibe waves definitely a lot rougher on this side. There are bar stands that sell pineapple drinks on the beach with or without sorbet. Yet it's so freaking refreshing and delicious

If you’re looking for an inexpensive way to learn about the history of Puerto Rico, make sure you check out this location. For just $10 a person, access is granted to explore the grounds of this castle and during the time I went, your ticket was good for two days. When visiting, I would highly suggest wearing sneakers, and bringing water when touring. They do have a small gift shop on location that you can also purchase small items. Due to the beauty of this castle, it is also a great opportunity to grab some photos. The views are breathtaking and worth the visit. I would highly recommend.

El Morro is a sight to see. I went around 10:15 with two kids, age 4 and 6. The wait was just a few minutes. We stayed about 2 hours. We did a lot of walking. The kids had a shorter attention span, just wanted to see the things and explore, up and down the stairs. Beautiful views. I would advise to bring your own cold water (they do sell around 4 bucks a bottle) and umbrella or hand fan if you have. The video they showed in the casemates area was very informative and eye opening, as well as a needed break after up and down stairs. Also, there's a spot before you go downstairs with bars to look out, amazing breeze for a cool down. The day we went was slightly cloudy. The sun was hot when it came out. The few clouds were appreciated when it covered the sun. When we left around noon, the line was long. Thank goodness we came when we did. When you leave treat yourself to helado (icee) or piragua/snowcone when you get off the property. Muy deliciouso.

Price $10 and you can use the ticket at the other fort. The walk is about 30 minutes to get to the other fort. The cemetery is free to walk down to. The closest parking lot Ballaja was the 1st choice at FV9J+485, Calle Morovis, San Juan, 00901, Puerto Rico for $10.but is was full on a Wednesday at 1030 am we ee parked at the Esquire Garage which was $37. The walk from there was about 20 minutes. We went in July and we sweat so so much. They had water amd Gatorade in the park we got one of each fpr $8.

Great visit to Castillo San Felipe del Morro on a Sunday morning. Arrived when they opened up at 9am and there was no wait to get in. Spectacular views of the castle itself as well the surrounding areas. Lots of history about the castle displayed through some great exhibits. Lots of walking, hills and some stairs throughout...so be sure to wear comfortable shoes. Great gift shop. Friendly and helpful staff throughout. Admission fee is $10, but grants access to Castillo San Felipe del Morro as well as the nearby Castillo San Cristobal up until the following day...so be sure to take advantage and visit both within that period. There is a reasonably-priced nearby parking garage (Ballaja Parking Garage) just a short walk to the entrance. There is also free street parking along Bulevar del Valle in the early morning hours.

Such an amazing experience visiting this place. All the history behind it was phenomenal to learn. It makes you think about all the injustices the puerto rican people have been going through with such resilience. I do recommend going as they open or later in the afternoon before they close because walking there with no shade is no joke. Lol. Make sure to wear a hat and shades. The entrance fee was resonable for all the things you get to see. It should be around 2-3 hours depending on if you read all the signs with the history or just walk through. 100% would recommend! I love it! Great spot for pics too. @unamelviajera my instagram if you wanna see my travel pictures.

This is a small street in Old San Juan,Puerto Rico. The San Sebastián Street Festival is celebrated on this street. This year, it will take place from Thursday, January 15th to Sunday, January 18th, 2026. This is the 56th edition. The festival began in 1954 as a religious and community event, spearheaded by Father Juan Manuel Madrazo, parish priest of San José Church, to raise funds for restoration work. Then it was revived in the 1970s by Rafaela Valladares and Ricardo Alegría. In the 1970s, it transformed into a grand cultural celebration with giant papier-mâché figures, music, and dances, incorporating Puerto Rican traditions.

The architecture is beautiful, the cobble streets, all the shops are something to see. And the night life is full and vibrant. The clubs seem to go on forever. You will definitely love it.

Such a beautiful spot. I spent a few hours hiking and honestly could've stayed even longer. Wear good shoes because some of the trails can get pretty slippery, and try to get there early before it gets too crowded.

My family and I had a great time here. We explored different trails and made it to the Britton tower. We didn't get to the big waterfall but we enjoyed the small one. We ate some good food and had some drinks. The vibe was nice. Definitely the place to check out while in Puerto Rico.

An amazing beautiful part of PR, a must view. The trails are tricky and uneven, so trail shoes are recommended. Bring water and sugary snacks, after an hour you run low on energy. There are little to no trail signs to advise where you are or how far to you have left, which is dissapointing. Otherwise its a spectacular visit.

Sooooo beautiful. It's a nice workout but worth the views and memories. They don't allow rideshare so unless you want to walk from the visitors center get a rental. I had cell signal the whole time. Come prepared because this is a real hike. Amazing experience.

Amazing! Beautiful rainforest. We'll maintained and accessible. Staff at the visitor center were friendly and the facility was clean, informative, and offered great information. Highly recommend visiting. There are frequent locations to pull off and see various sites. Was easy to navigate for first time visitors but roads are narrow, so use caution when driving.

What an absolutely beautiful place! We really enjoyed the visitors center and then the drive up through the rainforest! This is a must do, especially if you love nature, hiking, waterfalls,and seeing breathtaking views!

Great stop along the main forest path. Lovely views from the top as expected. Designated parking lot steps away from the tower. There were adequate parking spaces in the late afternoon. Spiral stairs to get to the top. Small gift shop at the bottom.

We visited the tower during our visit to El yunque national forest. The access to rainforest opened around 8am. We captured early sunlight over the forest it looked so beautiful. The climb up to the tower is short and gives a good view of the forest.

We stopped at the tower after a rainy hike in El Yunque to another tower. The inside was a little wet due to rain and mud on people, but the top was beautiful! There were a lot of steps to climb, but it was worth it. Even in the fog, there was a view of so much lush greenery and mountains, and the cool breeze felt great. There is a parking lot right next to the tower, so easy access!

03/30/2026 Beautiful tower and amazing views all around. It can ger crazy with the traffic and tourist but overall its a great site too see. So much life of green, can't wait to visit again 💚💚💚💚💚

A free observation tower you can climb for sweeping views of the forest and the ocean 🌊🌿 Lots of people line up by the viewing windows to snap photos 📸 — and honestly, the scenery is absolutely worth it. Bonus highlight? There was an adorable cat just casually hanging around… completely stealing the spotlight 🐱💛

The food there is not great...if you like food with spices and moist, this is not the place or town... the rice was hard... I was not impressed. They were really nice. To be fair in my culture we season our food and it is never dry...

I give them more like a 4 1/2 star rating. We only ordered a few fried fritters to go. What I did like about this location was some of the fritters are cooked at that moment. That does mean waiting for some time to pass. What I didn't l enjoy about this kiosko was, the wait time can feel longer then what it really is.

If you wants some delicious alcapurias, bacalaitos and ice cold beers...and let's not forget the amazing piña colada!! Plus outback you have the beach and a guy with a horse that you give a tip to and you can ride the horse.

We ordered combo pincho/ kabobs -chicken, pork and shrimp to share. Order took forever to arrive and pricey. All the food was dry, like it had sat out overnight , no flavor to arroz con gandules, tostones were dry , shrimp were not cleaned properly, no one came to table to offer any assistance or service. No ventilation at all- very unpleasant in heat. Don’t waste your time or money here. Go to La Parrilla - kiosks #2, fabulous food and service!!!!

Luquillo Beach is a beautiful and very popular spot in Puerto Rico. The beach is quite long, so even when it’s busy, you should be able to walk a bit and find a place to settle in. If you like being part of the scene and don’t mind a lively, social beach atmosphere, this is definitely a spot for you. Parking can be challenging, especially during busier times, so plan accordingly. I’d also recommend bringing your own chairs, towels or blankets, snacks, and anything else you need to get comfortable and make a full day of it. One thing to know before visiting is that some sections of the beach have a paid entrance, while other areas are free to access. We visited on a very windy day, but the water was still relatively calm and enjoyable, which was a nice surprise. The biggest downside—and the reason I’m giving it four stars instead of five—was the amount of garbage on the ground. For such a popular and beautiful beach, it was disappointing to see so much litter. There either needs to be more dedicated people regularly cleaning the area or significantly more trash bins available throughout the beach. Overall, Luquillo Beach is worth visiting, particularly if you’re looking for a lively beach where you can set up for the day, enjoy the water, and take in the local scene. 🇵🇷🌴

Out past the rainforest we drove about an hour from our hotel at the recommendation of another beach goer and local. This beach had lots of activities, including jet ski rental. Lots of food vendors. They even have waiters to deliver your cold beverages and food. The chair and umbrella guys are quick. One thing to remember is that chair and umbrella rentals on the beach are generally CASH ONLY!

The sun reflecting off the horizon, the ocean glowing in the brightest blue — it’s the kind of place you could spend the entire day in the water 🏖️🌊✨ Right nearby is the PR-193 food stand area, so you can swim, eat, drink, and even sing your heart out all in one spot 🎶🍹🌮 Only downside? Prices run a bit high… and there’s no A/C 😅 But hey — that’s tropical life!

I can’t say enough good things about this resort. We got an Ocean Front room and it was well worth it. Spacious, elegant, and well suited for couples. The facilities are beautiful and well taken care off. Thank you to Israel and Laura at the Front Desk for going above and beyond to ensure we had a speedy check-in and a wonderful stay overall. As well, thank you to Aida from Nectar, Johany and Joseph from the Cafe, Lyzbeth and Joseph from the Pool Bar, Mariviz from Water’s Edge, Vargas and Victor who drove us around and showed us all the facilities. All of you made us feel welcomed and well taken care of.

I booked my trip through Costco Travel which was a partial all inclusive that included the flight, transportation to the hotel, hotel and buffet breakfast. I’ve also done a true all inclusive for Cancun. My experience at the resort is that it doesn’t offer much for activities for adults for anything in the evening here compared to Cancun. We got bored really fast since there wasn’t much to do. Going to San Juan on a good day is maybe an hour and costs an arm and a leg to get a Uber back and forth. The buffet is limited and not very tasty especially compared to Cancun. Staff: Go carts are always zipping down the walkways super fast to the point you are scared they will hit you EVEN at night. Laura and Camille are amazing! They are so sweet and helpful. Israel on the other hand is rude and condescending. I was asking some simple questions and he acted like he didn’t wanted to be bothered with me. He really should be cleaning rooms and never dealing with the general public. If you want to really experience Puerto Rico, get a hotel in San Juan or Old Juan. If you still really want to do a resort I would suggest trying Wyndham Rio Grand Mar. We ended up renting a vehicle there so if you decide to rent one it’s right in the hotel, we saw signs for so many activities and it looks much nicer.

We had our wedding here in September of 2025 and it was the best decision I have ever made. The staff was accommodating and understood that the proposal and wedding were a surprise(proposed on a Saturday and married on a Sunday). The resort itself was relatively empty (which we liked) and the wedding venue was barebones (which is what we wanted) with a gorgeous view. Breakfast buffet was amazing and we booked it to be included with the room(a smart choice). Golf cart and drivers were prompt and super punctual. We will be returning every year (except this year due to a newborn).

The room was spacious; however, it wasn't ready even though we checked in the day prior via the app, we still had to wait about 1.5 hours for it to be ready. The customer is good; however, we had issues with someone charging alcohol to our room. We reported and they removed the first charge, then it happened again and we again reported it and the charge was removed, temporarily while they investigated. They said they would call me to let me know who was signing for our room since we don't drink alcohol. They never called me back and now I am reviewing my credit card statement and it shows the extra charge that doesn't belong to us. They charged us twice for $32.05 worth of alcohol that doesn't belong to us. We weren't even in the resort when these charges were made, and they still charged us. We have called several times and they never pick up the phone and have hung up on me three times. This is definitely not a five star resort and should not be labeled a such. Parking is very limited and the guys working the golf cart will leave you on purpose even though they see you. These guys are responsible for taking guests to their rooms from the lobby area and vice versa. We will never stay here again and will not recommend them to anyone. My wife is a travel agent and she will not recommend to any of her clients either. This has been a sour experience for the price we paid.

The view is pretty. Pool is nice. Beach sand is not that soft, lots of shells on it. Service is really slow and low quality!! Check in check out takes forever, don’t know why so slow. Room service call front desk always wait long time for people to pick up, if you want a car take you to the lobby, book half hr ahead. Check in person sometimes messed with the room change service you always need to go back to double check. They will get your service in the end anyway but you need to be a very patient person.

Great local vibe. Live music on the weekends, the artist I saw was very talented and lively. The food was amazing! Great way to taste Puerto Rican cuisine. Large wine selection as well as cigars.

Unfortunately, we did not have a good experience at this restaurant. The only positive part of our visit was the live music, which created a nice atmosphere. The service, drinks, and food were very disappointing. The restaurant was not even busy, but it took almost an HOUR and a HALF for our food to arrive. When it finally came, the food quality was poor and did not meet our expectations. We ordered a mojito and a margarita, but both drinks were disappointing. The mojito tasted like mostly simple syrup with alcohol, and we had to send it back. We ended up finishing our visit with beers instead. To make things worse, when the bill arrived, they removed the mojito but still tried to charge us for the margarita, even though the drinks were part of the issue we experienced. The servers seemed lost, were not knowledgeable about the menu, and could not properly explain the dishes. Overall, aside from the live music, there was very little positive about our experience. Unfortunately, we cannot recommend this restaurant.

Great service. Had the del dia sanchoch for appetizer. Really good a must try. Main plate was the pasta chicken Alfredo. It was ok. Salad was ok. Tried the chicken a la parrilla it was good. Tried the tacos camaron spicy crab and it was good, get that if you like tacos. Tried fried whole fish, it was fine, like any other fried fish. Mofongo chicken was good, good sauce on it. They charge the water here because they give you bottled water. $6.50. 4 adults, 1 child, 5 meals, 1 sopa. $170ish with tip.

Very mediocre but expensive food. This is one of those places that reviewers need to say is great because they paid so much. For lunch, we had the seafood mofombo, soup (which was the best thing we had), and dessert. The seafood was bland with no flavor- sadly it was improved by adding hot sauce to it. The server was pleasant.

Do not come here if you're a tourist. The restaurant was not crowded when we arrived but the service took an unresonably long time. We ordered an appetizer that took an abnormally long time, and at one point the waiter had asked us about the appetizer. We believe that they may have forgotton about it. Furthermore, they got a side wrong on one order and completely forgot about one of the other orders. We had to wait longer so that they could make the order that they forgot. Our drinks came in small plastic cups and were not refilled for a very long time and even then they were only refilled once. This is because they charge for water, which we were not informed of until we read the bill. It was 6.50 per 1L bottle used to fill our drinks, so we paid $13. The infrastructure is also questionable. The restaurant is two floors with stairs that are possibly a foot in height each step. Waiters have to carry dishes up the flight of stairs to serve customers on the second floor, which is unconventional at the least. The servers were kind and hospitable (with us not knowing Spanish) and the food was good, but nothing special. Overall, I would not come here again.

Beautiful beach! Super clean, accessible, and easy parking right across the street. This beach has big (sometimes rough) waves so you can’t swim out but it’s fun for getting in waist deep, boogie boarding, or just enjoying the water from shore.

Not the biggest fan during day hours as way too busy with people... but its perfect fir a relacing and great walk along the beach / trails / with nice homes and red lighting. I love it for the nights .. 🌙 😌 👌.

Not a hugely populated beach and turned out to be a nice place to sit and enjoy the sunset. The sand had drifted out into the road while I was there, but the local maintenance crews were out correcting that to make it safe to drive. Occasional live music and dance classes if the weather's right.
