In this article we\’re going to take a look at the accommodation options available to when you\’re planning your Puerto Rico vacations. The Caribbean island offers are variety of accommodation types to suit different budgets and tastes and since a huge proportion of your vacation budget will be your accommodation costs, you need to make sure you get this right.

Like many other tourist destinations, accommodation choices range from small family run hotels, and self-catering apartments to luxury five-star hotels and resorts, including many that are positioned right on the coast with privileged ocean views and many have golf courses too.

Typically tourists to Puerto Rico pick accommodation either in one of the coastal resorts, but many people choose instead the traditional feel of a hotel in San Juan. This is the capital of the island and where much of the cultural life takes place, as well as being close to the main airport. While many people think of Puerto Rico simply in terms of beaches, you\’ll find that Old San Juan offers much more and is the heart of the island. With a rich history, you can experience museums, art galleries, and theater.

There are several quaint hotels, and guesthouses to choose within the city, as well as luxury hotels. The Gran Hotel El Convento is a breathtaking hotel set in the grounds of the 300-year-old convent. The highlight of the hotels within the city is the Ritz, and if your budget stretches to this it is truly breath taking. This hotel is set over eight acres of prime property, and every element of your vacation is catered for. From the spa, to the casino you will never be bored during your stay in the Ritz.

Many of the city hotels appeal to business people, and travelers looking for a different side to Puerto Rico. While they will accept families you are probably better off in one of the many more family orientated hotels on the island. Moving slightly away from San Juan you may want to consider Isla Verde, which is a stunning location offering beautiful private beaches with a number of resort hotels. Many people when they stay in Isla Verde do in fact never leave the area, and although this appeals to many people you may find it restricting. However, all the hotels in Isla Verde offer excursions so you can see the island in an organized tour.

If you are on a budget whilst on Puerto Rico you may consider camping within the El Yunque Nature reserve. This area of the island offers you a once in a lifetime experience to stay in a rain forest for the night. Many of the campsites do need to be booked well in advance, and you will find that you cannot simply turn up. Another budget option is the chain of paradores in Puerto Rico, which are small hotels catering for families.

When you come to book your Puerto Rico vacations remember that accommodation can get booked up very fast especially during fiestas, and holiday time. However, depending on the style of accommodation and location you can get a reasonably priced vacation package that will allow you to stay comfortably while you\’re there.
