A Mix of Luxury and Budget Hotels

Luxury and budge hotels dot Puerto Rica with inn, hostels, lodges, villas, guest houses and vacation apartments in between.  Many of the high rise hotels are found in the metropolitan areas led by San Juan, the capital and home to the largest and best harbors among Caribbean countries. But alongside world class luxury hotels are small inns and lodges mostly family owned and situated in quiet municipalities in Puerto Rico. The prices are among the lowest in the entire Caribbean region.

• San Juan boasts of a wide choice of rooming in 17th century Colonial style hotels around Old San Juan, with the beachfront hotels found in Isla Verde and Condado.  Most upscale hotels are from your 5-star global chain hotel names with the expected price costing up to $300 per night such as the San Juan Marriott and the Intercontinental San Juan Report.  Then there are the beachfront budgets like Embassy Suites and Hampton Inn averaging about $100 per night.

• The second largest city of Ponce at the southern coast got its name from its founder, Ponce de Leon’s son Juan Ponce de Leon in 1692.  You can fly to the city directly as it has its own Mercedita International Airport served by Jet Blue with direct flights from New York’s JFK.  Most hotels can be found around the Plaza Degetau, an easy stroll from downtown museums and sites though a bit far from the beaches. But you can splurge at the Hilton Ponce Golf & Casino Resort, a beachfront hotel with a 27-hole golf course.  If you want to save, the Belgica budget inn at the Plaza enjoys rooms with balconies at a mere $60 per night.

• The world-class surfing capital of the Caribbean is Rincon on the Porta del Sol region of the country. The city has four hotels in the strictest sense with a few villas, guest houses and vacation rentals.   The most expensive is the Relais & Chateaux Horned Dorset Primavera Hotel where guests can spend up to $1,865 per night and the cheapest at $150 per night at the Villa Cofresí Hotel.  But vacation rentals like the Rincon Ocean Villa can set you back from $2,500 to $4,000 per night while the EV Vacation Rentals only start at $75 per night.

• The island of Culebra, just 20 miles east of the main island, can be reached by ferry or a domestic flight from Puerto Rico’s eastern coaster city of Fajardo. The island is known for the Flamenco Beach has a dozen guest houses like the Palmetto Guesthouse with most hotels typically a one-star rustic budget with a few upscale villas for rent that cost a family friendly $89 per night.

• On the otherhand, the adjacent island of Vieques, just 7 miles from the main island and also known for its fantastic beaches, can get upscale tourists to splurge $1,000 per week at the Beach House Vieques with its 3-bedroom beachfront bungalows with private pool each. Or spend up to $2,500 per week at the Villa Gallega.  That’s not say it has no budget hotels.  You can spend just $65 to $89 per night at the Bananas Guesthouse and Casa de Amistad.
