Question

Where should we stay?

Answer

Totally up to you! Listed below is some info that might help you with your decision depending on what type of trip/things you'd like to indulge in while visiting PR: For a lively atmosphere: Condado Beach is a bustling and upscale option. A vibrant beachfront neighborhood with plenty of hotels, restaurants, and shops. Perfect for guests who want convenience and great ocean views. For culture, history & architecture: Old San Juan – Full of charm, history, colorful streets, and boutique hotels. Old San Juan provides a deep dive into the city's history with its cobblestone streets and forts. A great choice if you’d love a more walkable, cultural experience. For popularity and amenities: Isla Verde Beach is a top choice. Often considered the most popular and well-known, especially for its white sand, clear water, proximity to hotels and the airport. It's known for its stunning beaches and resort-style hotels. Ideal for a more relaxed, vacation-style stay. For a relaxed, local vibe: Ocean Park Beach is a large, local favorite known for being clean, quiet, and good for swimming. Scenic: Rio Grande- a lush, scenic municipality on the northeast coast of Puerto Rico, known for its perfect blend of beaches, rainforest, resorts, and local culture. Its location is nature-focused because it offers both relaxation and adventure in one place. Rio Grande is also a good option if you prefer a shorter commute to the wedding venue.

Question

Do we need to rent a car?

Answer

Not necessarily. Ride share services are available in Puerto Rico, particularly in major urban areas like San Juan. While you can find Uber/Lyft rides in and around popular areas, availability is much more limited outside of the metropolitan areas. If you plan on traveling extensively around the island, renting a car is often a more convenient choice. The bride and groom will be coordinating some island activities including, but not limited to, hiking/adventuring in the El Yunque rain forest, golf, touring the Bacardi factory, ATVs or a visit to a bioluminescent beach at night. Some of these activities/excursions will be outside of the San Juan area. If you'd like to join in or find interest in doing such activities, please leave us a note with your RSVP letting us know when you'll be arriving and what you're interested in. Based on the responses that we get, we'll try yo put together a few different things that work best for the majority of those who responded.

Question

Will transportation to the wedding venue be provided?

Answer

Yes. We will have 3 shuttle busses that will be leaving from and returning to the San Juan area. Exact departure times and location TBD via this website closer to the wedding date.

Question

Do I need a passport?

Answer

Puerto Rico is a United States territory so... NO you DO NOT need a passport.

Question

Do we need to know how to speak Spanish?

Answer

Short answer is no. English is taught as a second language in elementary schools in Puerto Rico and it's common for locals to be bilingual. However, if you find yourself in a Spanglish conversation or struggling, remember "Por favor" & "Gracias".

Question

Will we need to change currency?

Answer

No. Puerto Rico uses the US dollar as its official currency. Things to keep in mind: Credit and debit cards are widely accepted in most hotels, restaurants, and large stores. Cash is essential for small purchases at places like beach kiosks, food trucks, and for tips. You can get USD from any local ATM (called ATH). Cash is king for street and beach vendors, or small local shops who operate on a cash-only basis. In regard to parking and transit, be prepared for situations where parking machines or taxis may ONLY ACCEPT CASH.

Question

Can I bring a plus-one or children?

Answer

Due to limited capacity we kindly ask that invitations are NOT extended beyond those addressed. Your invitation will specify if you receive a plus one and account for children if they have been accounted for. We truly appreciate your understanding.

Answer

Yes. Please consider sunscreen, sunglasses, and appropriate footwear.

Question

What if it rains?

Answer
