Early summer (May and June) is the prime time to visit Puerto Rico. The weather is perfect — the bulk of the crowds have dwindled and the country’s rainy season has yet to begin. In contrast, later in the summer (July through August) sees heavy precipitation, but even fewer crowds. If you can’t make it down there in June, and don’t mind the chance of rain, consider a later summer month to travel.
Puerto Rico is endlessly vibrant. Starting with its energetic capital, there are tons of things to do in Old San Juan, from visiting historical sites to wandering along its cobblestone streets, popping into artisanal boutiques for handmade clothes and jewelry. And the beaches, of course, are not to be missed. Another must-visit is El Yunque National Forest, a biodiverse wonderland complete with ample hiking trails and waterfalls and a short day trip from the urban center.
In San Juan, stay at Hotel El Convento, a boutique gem housed in a former convent, or the opulent Condado Vanderbilt Hotel. For a beachfront resort moment, the Fairmont El San Juan Hotel and The St. Regis Bahia Beach Resort are two top options.
