Winter is typically the busiest and most expensive time to visit Puerto Rico due to its perfect weather. Average high temperatures are in the 80s and lows hovering around 70, so you can expect higher rates at hotels and limited service at restaurants.
Despite this, winters in Puerto Rico are a joyous time. Enjoy outdoor beach activities that most places in the USA aren’t able to experience and a festive atmosphere. Because of Puerto Rico’s history and Hispanic culture, the Christmas holiday season is celebrated well into January.

Springtime is a great time to visit Puerto Rico. Not only is the weather sunny and breezy, but most of the winter tourist crowds (snowbirds) have gone home. With fewer crowds and demands, prices drop, and you’ll find a more relaxed atmosphere all around. There are also several great holiday festivals to enjoy throughout Puerto Rico, making spring one of the best times to travel to Puerto Rico.

Summer
Summer is the off-season for Puerto Rico. Travelers can expect higher temperatures than average and the beginning of hurricane season. For these reasons, Puerto Rico will be less crowded and less expensive, making it a delight for those who enjoy a bit of solitude on vacation.
Fall
-
For the savvy traveler, the fall months are the perfect time to enjoy the weather in the mid-’80s and lows in the 70s, rarely fluctuating from this range. Because most children are in school, older crowds are more common, and hotels offer cheaper accommodation than in the busy winter months. Bear in mind that while summer is hurricane season, there may be heavy storms and potential for natural disasters.
