Places to Stay
Find your holiday home in Puerto Rico
Here, the holidays run from November to February, so where you stay is part of the celebration. Settle into a parador, one of our small country inns, in the mountains where the traditions run deepest. Let a luxurious resort handle Nochebuena dinner while you enjoy the view. Gather the whole family under one roof in a vacation rental near the beach or in the mountains. Ring in the New Year from a modern hotel in a lively entertainment district, or trade the city for a glamping eco-retreat in a bird sanctuary. For the full parranda experience, check into a historic property in Old San Juan, steps from the music, the shops and the SanSe street festival.
Wherever you stay, you’ll get a warm Boricua welcome and a seat at the table. Late December and SanSe weekend fill up fast, so book early.
Come home to the holidays in a historic stay, where centuries-old walls get dressed up for Navidad.
Travel Seasons and Regions
Book early to guarantee a spot at the property you like. Hotels can fill up months ahead of high season, which runs from mid-November to mid-April. That window lines up with our holiday season, from Nochebuena and Three Kings Day to SanSe and Ponce Carnival, so late December and SanSe weekend are especially busy.
The hotels in San Juan and the east coast are the most popular among off-Island visitors to Puerto Rico. Meanwhile, the south and west regions of the Island are more often frequented by locals and tend to be busier during summer months, which is the high season for Puerto Ricans traveling around the Island.
