Hey /trv/, San Juan Puerto Rico, thoughts? Anyone ever been?

I was just there. At first I was apprehensive because of the hysterical white tourists posting online, but San Juan was totally safe, fun and gorgeous. One of my favorites. If you are paranoid, look up "San Juan heat map" which shows where the projects are. You would have to try to end up somewhere unsafe though, just like most big cities.

Hit up La Casita Miramar for some amazing food. La Repuesta is a great dance club if you're there on a Monday. And all of the beaches are great. The day trips can be expensive (~$180 for a rainforest tour including tip) but are worth it if you have the money. If not, wandering around Old San Juan is more than an awesome experience. The major art museum in San Juan was unexpectedly impressive, very big and well designed and worth a visit - they have a skateboard art exhibition on display now that is way cooler than it sounds

Also Uber just restarted in San Juan so take advantage. They can't do airport pickups though.

Also everyone there is totally horny and down for fun. Four hookups in five days and one was a threesome. If you're into sex tourism it's a hotspot

Awesome! Thanks for the advice. And no Uber at the airport? How're the cabs? Pretty shady? I used to drive a taxi so I know the scams

My Airbnb host picked me up at the airport so I never had to take a cab. I would just research how much a cab is from the airport to wherever you are staying. Then before you get in the cab inform the driver where you are going to and exactly how much you will be paying him. Don't wait for the driver to tell you at the end of the trip, they WILL scam gringos

Stay away from the port.
