A note to our friends and family:

We’re excited you will be joining us to celebrate our marriage in the beautiful island of Puerto Rico. Please note that, although the wedding ceremony and reception will take place in Guánica, we highly recommend extending your stay in Rincón.

If possible, book two nights at Copamarina Beach Resort and Spa (Friday-Sunday) and then join us in our hometown, Rincón. Below you will find a list with our favorite AirBnbs, local restaurants and activities that will make your trip unforgettable!

We hope to see you soon,

Travel

  • Three airports offer trips from major cities in the United States, international destinations, and other Caribbean islands.

    The largest and most accessible one is the Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport, commonly known as the San Juan Airport (SJU). Located in Isla Verde – in the Carolina district – this airport is just minutes away from San Juan. More than 20 commercial airlines fly in and out of the city every day. SJU is about 1 hr 50 min drive to Guánica.

    Another airport with international flights is the Rafael Hernández Airport (BQN) in Aguadilla, in the northwest region of Puerto Rico. Comparably smaller than the SJU, this hangar receives commercial flights from major airlines such as Jet Blue, National Airlines, Spirit Airlines, United Airlines, and private charters. BQN is about 1 hr 18 min drive to Guánica.

    The Mercedita International Airport (PSE) in Ponce receives a handful of commercial flights from the mainland U.S., mainly to cities like Orlando and New York City, with services from JetBlue. Smaller than SJU and BQN, Mercedita is ideal if your time on the Island is mostly on the south region. PSE is about 38 min drive to Guánica.

  • United States citizens and permanent residents don't need a passport to travel to Puerto Rico or the US Virgin Islands (all you need is your ID).

    Travelers from other countries visiting Puerto Rico have the same visa and passport requirements that would apply if visiting the mainland United States.

  • If you want to explore sites and towns outside of the San Juan metro area, or if you'll be staying in more than one town during your visit (for example a few days in Guánica and then a few days in Rincón), then renting a car is a good idea. All major US car rental companies have a presence in the island.

    If you don’t want to rent a car, please schedule airport pick up and drop-off with Bernabe Feliciano: 787-312-4655 or Welas Transport: 787-922-1542. Let them know you are part of our wedding group.

    There are no Uber/Lyft services outside of the San Juan metro area.

  • Although the wedding festivities will take place in Guánica, we want to invite our families to extend their stay and discover the beauty of our home town: Rincón.

    Rincón offers a chance to see the most beautiful sunsets in Puerto Rico.

    With numerous beaches to choose from, this western hub is also a haven for those who love the water, especially surfing.

    While the town boasts several famous surf spots, you’ll also find beaches where you can snorkel, paddleboard, dive, fish, swim, and relax — as well as places where you can mountain bike, horseback ride, and of course, delight in the sunsets every evening.

    Rincón is a leisure town, where the pace is slower, and the people are welcoming. If you’re looking to get away from the rush of a big city, this place is the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in local island vibes.

    Best lodging in Rincón:

    AirBnb and VRBO both offer beautiful homes and apartments that are close to the ocean and the center of town. Please let us know if you need help finding the right place for you and your party.

    There are only two hotels in Rincón, one is Rincon of the Seas and the other Villa Cofresí.

    Please note that March tends to be one of the busiest months of the year. We recommend booking your accommodations ASAP.
