[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Regarding PR - San Juan for me atleast, I’m not sure which part of PR the previous posters visited but I noticed that it didn’t necessarily lack culture. It was moreso that it comes across as a budget choice for the people we saw at the hotel and the locals didn’t seem to want to be there either.

I will say that while I did not hate San Juan. I can’t say that I will ever go back. It’s just that there isn’t anything there to draw me back that I cannot see somewhere else.

Interesting.  I feel like PR seems more authentic than other Caribbean places I’ve been to in the past.  The separation between the locals and tourist areas are not as stark. And I think most Caribbean islands have hotels at different price points. PR does not have all inclusive resorts which can be a plus/minus for people.  Did I fall in love with PR? Not really. But I liked their authenticity. I didn’t get a we don’t want you here vibe as much as we aren’t going to kiss your butts just bc you are tourists vibe. [/quote]

The problem is that one person's "authentic" is another's "run down and scary."

I personally love PR exactly because it's easy to find authenticity, but judging from the way PP is judging people making "budget choices" they're probably not the kind of person whose idea of an enjoyable vacation involves feeding street dogs scraps of your mofongo on an un-air-conditioned sidewalk while sipping a Medalla Light.
