A Puerto Rico guide written from the island.

How we know what we tell you

Every guide says how we know. Places we have been to ourselves are marked Visited by Isla Insider, with the month we went. Everything else is checked against the business itself or an official source (the National Park Service, the Puerto Rico Tourism Company, the DRNA), and the page shows the date it was last checked. If a business ever gives us a visit for free, the page says so.

Prices, hours and rules change. If you find something out of date, tell us and we will fix it.

Who writes Isla Insider

Our guides are written by Isa Noel, the pen name of Isla Insider's founder, who lives in Puerto Rico. When a guide says we went somewhere, Isa went, and the page says when.

How Isla Insider makes money

Right now no link on Isla Insider pays us. Our booking buttons go straight to the business, or to the official site for government tickets; some are not switched on yet.

We plan to add booking links that pay us a commission. When we do, the page will say so before the first link, and every button that pays us will say "Paid link" next to it. You will pay the same price, unless we tell you a code saves you money. Some local businesses may give us a promo code or tracked link and pay us when you book; we will treat those exactly like other paid links. A commission will never decide what we recommend: we list places that do not pay us, and we tell you when the free option is the better one.

Businesses can also pay for a Spotlight: a feature article and video about them. If we publish a Spotlight, it will always be labelled Sponsored, on this site and on Instagram and TikTok.

Expect Moore Capital also operates short-term rental properties in Puerto Rico. Any property we have a stake in is labelled as ours, every time.
