Here’s the cost breakdown from one of my solo trips to Puerto Rico ⤵️ I’ve been to the Island 5x and can’t get enough 🇵🇷 ✈️ Roundtrip flight from RDU to SJU: $11 I booked my flight with points! I used my @americanexpress @delta SkyMiles Gold card! I also have several Chase cards (the Chase Sapphire Preferred card and a few Chase Ink Business cards), which are great because they’re so flexible in terms of how you can redeem your points. I rarely pay out of pocket for flights thanks to credit card points 🙌 🌊 4 nights at @casacoralluquillo: $480 This was my first time staying at a hostel! I cannot recommend this place enough. I booked a private room with shared bathroom. It was quiet, clean, and I felt super safe as a solo traveler. Plus, it’s basically right on the beach! 🍽️ Food: $129 I wouldn’t say I made a conscious effort to save money here, but I don’t think I did too bad! There are a few great restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance of @casacoralluquillo. I was a little addicted to Coffee Therapy Brunch hehe ☕️ 🚘 Rental car: $380 This includes gas and parking! I rented a car at the San Juan Airport through @expedia and ended up going with Alamo. This was a super easy process, and I wasn’t charged any hidden fees! 🤿 Activities: $75 Most of the stuff I did was free, but the two activities I paid for were night kayaking in the Fajardo Bio Bay and parking at Cascada Gozalandia, which is a waterfall in San Sebastián. 🌴 Day trip to Culebra: $288 This includes a roundtrip flight, rental car, food, and snorkeling! It would’ve been much cheaper to take the ferry instead of flying, but I wasn’t able to reserve a ferry ticket in time. Instead, I paid $98 for a roundtrip flight with Air Flamenco, which I don’t regret at all because the flight was STUNNING and super fast. As for the rental car, I rented a Jeep for the day from Carlos Jeep Rentals! TOTAL: $1,363 I hope this helps! Let me know if you want to see more cost breakdown videos in the future!
