Call your hotel and ask as many questions as you need. The headlines on the news can be discouraging, as they focus on parts of the island that are not typical tourist areas. Puerto Rico can still offer sunshine, beach time and many fun activities. Your visit is giving tourist dollars to the island, and helping families of Puerto Rico, so you don’t necessarily have to worry or change your plans unless your hotel advises you to. Many recovery efforts have been largely successful and you’ll find that most parts of the island are perfectly fine.
