There are so many options for hotels and AirBnB rentals in San Juan. If you plan to rent a car, you can choose anywhere you'd like in the greater San Juan area. If you are not renting a car, it may be best to choose a hotel in Old San Juan for the evening of the wedding.

Question

Do I need a rental car?

Answer

We recommend renting a car or using ride share apps to get around the city during your stay. If you plan to explore other areas of the island, a rental car is recommended. Be sure to book your rental car well in advance because the prices can be very steep.

Why is the wedding on a Thursday?

Question

Do the locals speak English in Puerto Rico?

Answer

Yes - especially in the San Juan area. You should not have any issues communicating with the locals during your trip. That being said, it never hurts to brush up on a little bit of Spanish before your visit!
