San Juan, Puerto Rico
Looking for an affordable tropical island in the US? You won’t be needing a passport to visit this tropical paradise, where you’ll enjoy stunning beaches, lush jungles, delicious food, and plenty of things to do.
While you’ll find plenty of expensive luxury resorts all around the affordable island, there are plenty of ways to enjoy a budget vacation to Puerto Rico without sacrificing the experience.
Choose a destination closer to an international airport – for many travelers, this will mean sticking closer to San Juan.
If you’re looking for a beachy vacation in San Juan, stay in Condado or Ocean Park, where you’ll be within walking distance of beautiful beaches, plus great cafes and restaurants.
Or, staying in Old San Juan is a great choice for a mix of great food, cool bars and cafes, and all the historical sites.
Puerto Rico is much more than just San Juan, so if your budget allows for it, make sure to get out of the city and visit the El Yunque rainforest, some of the affordable island’s other beautiful beaches, and even the neighboring islands of Vieques and Culebra.
Both of these islands in the US that are among the best in the Caribbean.

BIEN VIENIDOS! Puerto Rico, The Hostess, With The Mostest! Do stay in the Old City of San Juan, 500 years of history in those streets, dating from Nov., 1493! Rent an apartment, in one of the pre-1898, colonial buildings! Use VRBO, Vacation Rentals by Owner! Rent a car to see the outer sights, or book tours by going to one of the big hotels along the waterfront, getting brochures, tour buses pick up there!
Cumberland Island off the coast of Georgia and Florida should have been included.
You should have included Mackinaw Island in Michigan.
