Yes! No black attire, no jeans and no sneakers please. Our wedding colors are neutral and we ask that everyone please dress accordingly.
Absolutely.
Yes, there is Uber on the island! There are also taxis you can take from the airport. The available taxi companies in San Juan's Airport are as follows: San Juan Taxis: (877) 288-8294 Taxi Service Puerto Rico: (787) 382-6220 CityCab Puerto Rico: (787) 633-3327 Wilbert Taxi Service: (787) 479-9767 One of the taxi companies that I also came across in Cayey is "Cayey Metro Taxi" and their phone number is (939) 488-1474.
You should rent a vehicle in advance, because you may score better deals. Also, by not renting in advance, you run the risk of not getting the vehicle that fits your needs. We previously rented a small SUV online through Priceline and picked it up at the Budget Car Rental located across from the SJU Airport. We simply walked in and provided our reservation information and it was a smooth process.
It’s roughly a 45 minute drive or so, depending on where you’re staying.
That depends on how much you’re willing to drive. Cayey is located in the central mountains region of the island. San Juan is the largest municipality in Puerto Rico and is also the most popular. San Juan also offers many lodging options including boutique to luxury hotels, condos/apartments and homes that can be rented through AirBnB. We have never stayed in any of the hotels in Puerto Rico, since we always travel with a large group, so we use AirBnB because it is more cost effective and can accommodate all of our family more comfortably. If you are travelling alone or with your partner, you can explore your options on sites like Expedia, Orbitz and other travel sites for deals on hotels, etc. I also provided a recommendation to stay at Four Points by Sheraton in Caguas for those who prefer to stay near the wedding venue. You will have to show your vaccination card or proof of a negative test at any of the hotels in Puerto Rico.
Yes! You will incur "toll fees" travelling from one city to another and they're typically under $5.00. We did a lot of driving in Puerto Rico and because we had no idea how to go about paying it (there were no toll booths on the roads where we travelled), the fees were charged to our car rental and they charged it to our card. To give you an idea of how the fees can accumulate, we paid a total of $38.00 in fees, during our 1 week trip. You could also add the "AutoExpreso" option to your rental - that's Puerto Rico's version of E-Z Pass, so that you won't have to worry about surprise toll costs.
Yes - Old San Juan is a beautiful and historical neighborhood where you will also find the very famous "Castillo San Felipe del Morro", which is the fortress built in the 16th century to protect the island from invaders arriving by sea. There are many small boutiques and shops as well as local vendors that are unique to the island as well. The Condado Beach is also a great site for family and there are excursions available on site, such as snorkeling. La Placita de Santurce is a hot spot for adults looking to enjoy some drinks and food. It's mostly an outdoors area, where there is music and plenty of options for eating. You have to find parking and do some light walking.
