puerto rico: My wife and I want to take our honeymoon in May and we want to go to Puerto Rico. We want a nightlife at night and lounging and snorkeling during the day. What can you guys tell me?|||My wife and i went to PR in 2007. We are both in our 30's and are big drinkers We loved it, except for the prices. We stayed at the Marriott in San Juan, which I highly recommend. There is a small but nice casino in the hotel. San Juan is very touristy. We also never felt unsafe wherever we went. PR is very expensive including San Juan. There are several decent bars to go to, but $5-6 a beer is not uncommon, even for the lesser brands. We rented a car and drove around the Island (if you call it that, it's huge), which I also highly recommend. There are some really cool cities to check out outside San Juan, which are much less expensive. Do not venture into any barrios/neighborhoods. Stay on the beaten path and you will be fine. Hopefully you speak some Spanish, if you do great, you will be able to haggle prices, if you don't good luck, you will be over charged. Ask prices first before purchasing anything, as they don't advertise to doubly screw you. Expect to pay prices equivalent to traveling to Chicago or NYC. My wife and I would go to the liquor store near the hotel and grab a 1/5 of booze then mix our own drinks at the pool. Take a flask, and a few extra large water bottles with you to conceal your drinking, as the resorts aren't to keen on not buying their booze. Or premix your drinks in your room. The Bacardi Factory is alright, but overrated. If you like Bacardi, you can get good prices on it and I believe you can bring back 4 or 5 bottles each. Fajardo (surfing village) was cool, worth a visit, as was the Rain Forest. I/we don't snorkel, so can't speak intelligently about that subject. You'll enjoy all but the prices.|||my friends are staying at: http://www.palmasdelmar.com its all included.(pricey).I have a vacation rental in Rincon http://www.Rincon-Puerto-Rico.com they came to see me and spent the night here on the west coast,then went back to the east coast of Puerto Rico, try to break up your trip to save $$ Report Abuse |||Puerto Rico is beautiful! As for nightlife, not so much. San juan does have nightlife though. Are you Puerto Rican? If so, and you speak spanish, go to the other side of the island. Much more more interesting. If your not Puerto Rican and dont know your way around, I suggest you dont go there. Snorkeling is not great in San Juan. Like I said, the other side of the island has a lot more entertainment. Great snorkeling in Isabella & Aguadilla. I go there all the time. A little pricey. Same currency as the United States. You can access an ATM there also. Overall, great island if you know where to go. Have fun and stay safe!!
