Puerto Rico was so much fun! Here’s some places I visited:
Panuchos (large, strong margaritas & bomb quesadillas!)
La Factoria (great at night. located in old San Juan. Great drinks and vibes!)
Dude’s Diner (great breakfast food & some of the best milkshakes. Has a very retro, 50s vibe.)
Café Tresbé (outdoor restaurant. Went at night for a burger & fries, the burger was tasty.)
Cloud Spa (probably one of the best spas I’ve ever been to. Really nice ambiance & they had this salt pool that made you float. Overall very relaxing.)
Went to Cancun in May of 2019. I did not know I would enjoy this place as much as I did but it was fun! Most things were fairly priced, overall Cancun is very cost-friendly.
Here’s some of the stuff I did:
Visited the pyramids at Chichen Itza (1 of the 7 wonders of the world). It was blazing hot so grab your sunscreen, sunglasses, & hat.
Went to 2 cenotes/cenotés. One in Yucatán called ‘Cenote Ik Kil’. I think it was a 2-3 hour ride from Cancun. I believe the other cenoté was located in Cancun. The one in Yucatán was beautiful and such a “one-with-nature” experience. I believe they told us the cenoté is 150ft deep which scared the heck out of me ( I can’t swim y’all). You’re allowed to swim in it, if you can’t swim they provide life jackets.
Zip lining & ATV riding at Extreme Adventure Cancun. Everything was safe & fun. Now, I will say I’ve never drove an ATV before & thought I could handle it but it was fast and the path was rocky with a lot of curves. However, it was fun but I will probably never do it again lol I was scared to death. If you like speed and heights, go here.
Visited the Marina to go shopping. Nice restaurants, lit stores and a nice view over looking the water.
Site-seeing on Isla Mujeres. Beautiful island. Local shops and food with a lot of historic sites. One the tequila store owners gave us free shots of tequila, everyone we met was super nice & down to earth.
I booked so many things on TripAdvisor lol (I got excited). I booked a party tour boat that took us from Cable Beach to Balmoral Island (so beautiful). So much fun, drinks & music were included on the boat. Went swimming with the dolphins on Balmoral Island! But they didn’t let us take pics on our phone because they had a photographer on site that you could pay to get your photos. Booked a catamaran for a day at the Bahamar for I think $30 or $40 per person. It was really relaxing just to be sprawled out on a boat in the middle of the clear blue ocean. Nightlife was great too! Everyone knows black people can party lol. Police presence was there too in the tourist areas at night so it felt safe. However, I will say we were out pretty late and the amount of taxis were reduced to almost zero in the area we were in (keep that in mind). A kind police officer gave us a ride back to our hotel since it was late & we couldn’t find a taxi.
