Packing Sandals Was My Only Good Decision

I was genuinely surprised by how pleasant and well-organized the Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport was! From the moment we arrived, everything went incredibly smoothly. Absolutely all the staff we interacted with were extremely friendly, helpful and polite. The airport is very well organized, and you can tell that everyone knows exactly what they are doing. When we arrived, our checked luggage came out surprisingly quickly, which was a huge plus after a long flight. On departure, we waited no more than about 10 minutes to check in and drop off our luggage, and the security control was just as fast and efficient. For such a busy international airport, I was honestly impressed by how little time we spent waiting. I also really liked the area after security, especially the Duty Free section. There are many shops selling traditional Puerto Rican souvenirs and local products, which gives the airport a much more authentic and welcoming feeling. It was actually nice to have some time to browse and pick up a few last souvenirs before leaving. Overall, this was one of the most pleasant airport experiences we have had. Friendly staff, excellent organization, quick baggage handling and a nice selection of traditional shops — everything made the journey much easier and more enjoyable. I would happily travel through this airport again! ✈️🇵🇷🌴

One of my least favorite airports. The restaurants are a mix of American fast food: dominoes, popeyes; international fare: ramen, Spanish; and gas station food. And it's so expensive. Yes airports are expensive, but it's expensive and unsatisfying. Then the duty free is a waste of time. You can get the same items on the island and just pack it in your bag and save a bunch of money. And the security is super relaxed. I have a subdermal device that always get me pat down. I went through, they asked if I had a necklace, I said yes, and they cleared me. The airport isn't bad, it's just not good and spending time there isn't fun.

I was flying out of Terminal A at Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in San Juan, and honestly the experience getting in was rough. With everything going on around the government shutdown, TSA was extremely slow—long lines and pretty chaotic just to get through the initial checkpoint. Definitely give yourself extra time. The airport itself feels older and a bit worn down. It could really use a refresh. That said, once you’re inside, there are actually a lot of solid food options for breakfast and lunch, plus some good shopping and local snacks. On the bright side, flights seem to run pretty smoothly and leave on time, which helps make up for the hassle getting in. Not my favorite airport, but it gets the job done for the area.

Arriving at Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport was a good experience. The airport was clean, organized, and easy to get around. Signs for baggage claim and transportation were clear. My luggage came out quickly, and the whole process was smooth from landing to exit. A nice first impression of Puerto Rico!!

Got to the airport around midnight. Ready to navigate clean airport. Bathroom were clean. Uber pick up was from B 19-20 area. Since landed in PR, its been a great experience.

So beautiful and a great place to take the family to shop, site see and enjoy the amazing culture Puerto Rico has to offer. You can park and walk down many side streets for great food and shopping as well. A great mix of both old and new.

A Beautiful and Historic Gem in the Heart of Ponce! Visiting Plaza Las Delicias was an absolutely wonderful experience! This plaza is the true heart of Ponce — full of charm, color, and Puerto Rican soul. The atmosphere is peaceful and inviting, surrounded by beautiful colonial architecture and some of the city’s most iconic landmarks, including the Parque de Bombas and the Catedral Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe. The plaza is clean, safe, and well maintained, with plenty of benches and shade from the old trees. The sound of the fountain, the laughter of families, and the music from nearby cafés make it a perfect place to relax and enjoy the local vibe. It’s the kind of spot where you can sit for hours, people-watching and feeling the rhythm of Puerto Rico’s culture. At sunset, the plaza becomes truly magical — the lights turn on, the sky glows over the cathedral, and the red-and-black stripes of the historic firehouse look stunning. Whether you come for photos, history, or just to unwind, this place will capture your heart. If you visit Ponce, don’t miss Plaza Las Delicias. It perfectly combines history, beauty, and the warmth of Puerto Rican hospitality. One of the most delightful and memorable places I’ve visited on the island. 🇵🇷💛 #PlazaLasDelicias #Ponce #PuertoRico #HistoricPlaza #TravelParadise #ParquedeBombas #OldTownPonce #PuertoRicoVibes #CaribbeanCharm #CulturaBoricua

Plaza Las Delicias is one of the highlights of Ponce. There’s so much to do around the plaza, tons of places to eat, coffee spots, bars, shops, and just a lot of energy throughout the area. It’s a great reminder that there’s a lot more to Puerto Rico beyond San Juan. The plaza itself has a lot of history too and has been the heart of Ponce for generations. You’re surrounded by landmarks like the cathedral and the iconic red and black Parque de Bombas firehouse, which gives the whole area a ton of character. Easy place to walk around for hours and just take everything in.

Plaza Las Delicias in Ponce is a charming and vibrant spot in the heart of the city! The plaza is beautifully maintained, offering a peaceful retreat with its stunning fountains and lush greenery. The architecture surrounding the area, especially the iconic Parque de Bombas and the Ponce Cathedral, is breathtaking and rich in history. It's a fantastic place to experience the local culture, with street artists and musicians often adding to the lively atmosphere. The area is clean, safe, and well-lit, making it perfect for a leisurely evening stroll. A must-visit for anyone in Ponce looking to immerse themselves in the beauty and heritage of the city.

The Central Plaza for the City of Ponce. Each city/town in Puerto Rico has its own plaza and generally there is a Catholic Church, city hall, and business which are nearby. This plaza hold the historic Parque de Bombas, the Church, City Hall and various businesses. As you stroll the plaza they also have a huge fountain and various statues of important iconic people in Puerto Rican history. It is a wonderful community gathering center, often hosting live music and entertainment.

Food here is delicious! We had the veggie burger, fish tacos, pimiento relleno and the tamboo salad - all were delicious but the veggie burger really surprised us! Texture was great and tasted incredible. Great view too. Drinks were also so good and service was the best we’ve experienced in Rincon. Everyone was very friendly and attentive.

The view was the main attraction. Aside from that it was pretty mediocre. Service wasn’t that great and we felt weird vibes from the waitress (maybe the big group overwhelmed her?). They ended up over charging us on a bunch of items but it was my fault for not noticing. For the price the food could’ve been better, went to many restaurants on our trip and this was the least memorable. If you want a good atmosphere come for drinks, the food was whatever and expensive.

I didn’t not stay so I can’t speak about the rooms. I ate at the restaurant with a large party of family. The drinks were good overall. The I didn’t hear any complaints at all. The food was a different story. Several members of our group reported less than enjoyable food experiences. One person said that the hamburger didn’t taste right. I had the Plantain baskets with pulled pork appetizer, and the group shared the fried food platter of appetizers. All the fried food was very greasy. Obviously the oil wasn’t hot enough. The plantain baskets were soaked in oil. The flavor of the pulled pork was very good, but there were bones in the pork. One person in the group had the salad and reported that it was very good. The worst part of all was waking in the wee hours with food poisoning. Go for drinks, but I wouldn’t recommend it for eating because the quality and flavoring were very spotty.

We have been coming to Tamboo almost from its origin. The food has gotten better from excellent to outstanding. You can't beat the view, you are right on the ocean. The service is welcoming and efficient. We have tried almost all the menu. I highly recommend the fish and seafood, although the burgers are excellent as well.

We are staying across the street from Tamboo. On our first night we decided to go for dinner. I was lucky that the pan seared snapper was on special. Served on a bed of the recommended Puerto Rican root mash! It was probably the best fish meal I have ever eaten and I have travelled extensively!! A++++!!! Service was first class too!

Peña Blanca Beach was one of those small, peaceful beaches that we were really happy to discover. It’s definitely not a beach for big crowds—the actual sandy beach area is tiny and really only has enough room for a handful of small groups. Parking is also limited, so arriving earlier is probably your best bet. To the left of the main beach, there’s a rocky area tucked beneath the edge of the cliff that we really enjoyed. It provides some much-needed natural shade, and there’s still a sandy entrance into the water, making it easy to get in and out. The water had gentle rolling waves when we visited, and we saw quite a few people snorkeling. It seems like a great spot to bring a mask and explore beneath the water. We also loved the wildlife! We spotted several different types of birds as well as a couple of iguanas while we were there, which added to the experience. Overall, Peña Blanca felt incredibly peaceful and relaxing. It’s small, parking can be tricky, and you may have to get a little creative finding your spot, but that was also part of its charm. If you can catch it when it isn’t crowded, it’s a beautiful little place to slow down, get in the water, and enjoy the surroundings. 🌊🌴🦎🇵🇷

A true hidden gem. Waves are rough and high, but the snorkeling is well worth the trip. I advise entering through the ruins on the north and driving through the dirt roads towards this beach. They'll be plenty of parking that way 4x4 recommened, but not required. If you enter the GOOGLE maps way parking is very limited (5cars) and there's a house on right that charges for parking. NEVER PAY for parking in Puerto Rico beaches, these beaches belong to the people of Puerto Rico! Enjoy !

Didnt get on the water unfortunately, but the view was majestic. Locals said there is a bunch of sea turtles, tropical fish, and so much more. Recommend going here to get in the water and for the beautiful canopies.

Excellent beach for Snorkeling! Limited room for lounging. Gets deep pretty quickly and many rocks. Not ideal for young children, barbecues or laying about. If you want to see the sea life, then come here. No free parking and don't be tempted to park on road, tickets on every car on our return. Private parking available at $5. Just pay it. I was lucky to see plenty of sea life including a turtle. A good few sea urchins so be aware of putting your hands in unsuspecting holes! Personally I thought it was worth the $5 to park. Get some good Snorkeling in and then move on for lunch.

Let me tell you this place has potential if everyone would work together. The service is terrible, the food took an hour to come out. All the food came out luke warm and by the plate so we all ate at different times. The food actually taste good but you get it warm and have to wait an hour or more. The mojitos are good but again if they remember to bring it then you will get it. Also they dont get your orders right, but we were not going to wait any longer.

This restaurant is an absolute must-visit whenever we’re in town! They have the best mojitos on this side of the island, and their 30 oz mojitos are not only delicious but also a great value. We make it a point to stop here every time we visit. The food is just as impressive as the drinks. We’ve tried several items on the menu and have never been disappointed—everything is consistently fresh and delicious. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the view. The back of the restaurant overlooks Jobos Beach from atop the cliffs, offering breathtaking ocean and sunset views. Watching the sun go down while enjoying great food and drinks is an experience you won’t forget. Between the amazing mojitos, fantastic food, and unbeatable scenery, this is easily one of our favorite spots on the island. Don’t miss it!

First of all, food took AT LEAST an hour to come to the table. None of the workers speak good English, and got many orders wrong. On top of that, the plates were DIRTY. My fries had random chips and globs of salsa and grease. My salad also had chunks of beef in it and the plate was also dirty. Kitchen also looked very dirty and small, don’t reccomend the service, people were nice but didn’t speak English. Food was very good but I feel like it was unhygienic and gross, also our rice was uncooked!?! Views are pretty tho. ALSO MOTHS WERE AWFUL PLS GET FANS

The view at this restaurant is absolutely phenomenal, and the service matched it with attentive and friendly staff. I ordered the ensalada de pulpo as an appetizer, and it was fresh and flavorful. For our main course, my wife and I shared the Vista al Mar, which was perfectly prepared and generously portioned.My wife also had a passion fruit mojito and said it was one refreshing, well balanced, and full of flavor. Overall, we had a wonderful experience. Good food, great drinks, excellent service, and a stunning view. recommended.

It was a wonderful experience. The beach was beautiful sand was almost white. Along with the water, we did go on a day where there was a red flag. So the current was a little bit strong. However, there was lifeguards there, making sure that everyone stood aligned. Also, the ways were beautiful for surfers to do their thing. It was a wonderful beach along with the shops and also the bars that they had.

Still my favorite spot so far for the variety, the majestic landscape, and the diversity of the water features. 1 side of the rock structures have crashing waves for great photos. The other side has a large calm area that families can enjoy. Great place for special occasion photos too.

Jobos Beach is easily my favorite beach anywhere, and I travel quite a bit. It’s one of those rare places that has everything you could want without feeling overdeveloped. The beach itself is beautiful, with soft, clean sand and incredibly clear water. There’s a long stretch of shallow water that’s perfect for swimming, floating, and families with children, while farther out the waves provide excellent conditions for surfers. One of the things I appreciate most is how convenient everything is. There are several vendors renting umbrellas and chairs, plenty of surf shops, and a great selection of restaurants and beach bars just steps away when you need a drink or a bite to eat. Parking has never been an issue either, with both free street parking and affordable local lots nearby. I’ve visited beaches in many places, but I keep coming back to Jobos. It has a relaxed Puerto Rican vibe, beautiful scenery, and something for everyone. If you’re visiting the northwest coast of Puerto Rico, this is a beach you shouldn’t miss.

Beautiful beach with a wide variety of on-site food options. Good for snorkeling and surfing and wading into the water. Like any beach in PR parking is limited but spots available alongside the road.

I can not stress this enough: KEEP PUERTO RICO BEACHES CLEAN PLEASE. Jobos is absolutely stunning and we want it to stay that way. This is our home away from home. You can find it all here. Restaurants, bars, chair rentals, surf board rentals, beach gift shop. The water is so clean.
