It's awesome your humble gesture of informing our vistors prior to coming here ☝🏾 Excellent advice on Safety & Security, I wish to add the Following: Our Islands (More than one) and People are extremely safe, but yes like you mentioned there are areas in the City of San Juan Metro Area you need to be aware of based on crime statistics. It's a much larger Island than Hawaii, larger population, San Juan has eight districts, Condado, Miramar, Old San Juan are just three of them ☝🏾"No Road Rage Here" please, if cut off or a victim of issues while driving on roads, "Don't Argue" I'm a retired LEO with both Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and Federal Retirement Credentials, plus service with the PR National Guard ☝🏾 It's good to know this to enjoy the best of Puerto Rico 🙏🏾🇺🇸🇵🇷

The slowness of the restaurants has to do with everyone being new. With some exceptions, before covid, restaurants were much faster.

I would also add, buying food and groceries is outside San Juan or metropolitan area is a lot cheaper. San Juan is like eating in Waikiki as compared to places like food trucks in North Shore or Kahuku. For groceries like fruits and vegetables go to Plaza del Mercado (farmers markets) almost every town has one. For cheap restaurants and good food near San Juan, check out Pinones or kiosks they call chinchorros. Greetings from Hawaii, and enjoy the island.

Seriously, BICYCLE RENTALS?!?!?!?!?! Why not just pay $15 for a bus/train pass and it's unlimited for a week and you can get around ALL San Juan for cheap. Also anyone can use the publicar service for $2 instead of using the taxis or uber. And for the record, it can be "super cheap", depends on what you buy, hit the Supermax, Always 99, local street vendors and Walmart and you can be as cheap as you want.

Better to be safe than sorry though! Great tip on the gas! 4 liters per gallon. A little higher than east coast but still, EOD you dont have another option. Great advice on the GPS Pin, people here suck at addresses lol. You cannot park on the street in VSJ, "by law", and it takes a year of residency in VSJ to qualify. i hate it haha.

Great question!! Yeah it’s different in alota ways, but super similar in some ways too. Coming from Hawaii the weather is pretty close, the beach culture, and the idea that family and friends are most important are similar :) . Some days it feels the same as America like shopping and stuff but some times driving through the neighborhood and hearing the jams and the life all around you assures you your are really in Puerto Rico. We really love learning about the culture here there is always a sunny day even when there’s clouds the people light the way!
