Frequently Asked Questions

About the StaY

Why should I go early?

Yes, last year some guests went only to Ponce, and missed out on beaches, eatery and comraderie with the group.  So if your budget allows join us early in San Juan.

Should I stay at Hotel or Airbnb?

In San Juan (a major city) an Airbnb meets expectations and can stretch your budget vs a hotel.  In Ponce it's best to stay at Hotel

Should I rent a car?

We can make that decision once we're there but it will be discussed further in the Whats App chat so we can coordinate everyone pending interests in Puerto Rico - last year majority just wanted to stay on beach

Do I need a passport?

US Citizens do not but are encouraged to bring, a Driver's License will suffice.  For all others please check with your country's regulations, PR is a territory of the US but you don't want to get stuck down there - so triple check
