Flying to Puerto Rico

There are two primary airports to choose from when flying to Puerto Rico:

Aguadilla Rafael Hernández Airport (BQN)

We highly recommend that visitors (especially those flying from the East Coast of the US) utilize the Aguadilla Airport (BQN). It is only 20 minutes from Rincón and is serviced daily by JetBlue, United and Spirit Airlines.

San Juan International Airport (SJU)

If you’re on a tighter budget or flying from the West Coast, you may choose the much larger San Juan Int’l Airport (SJU), but it requires a 2.5 hour drive to Rincón from metropolitan San Juan.

Driving and Rental Cars in Rincón

We highly recommend that visitors rent a car either in Aguadilla or San Juan for the duration of their stay. Rincón is not an area with easy walking or even biking access due to the more spread out rural area and numerous hills.

Driving to the Rincón Surf Resort

The Rincón Surf Resort at Las Palmas is located at Carr. 413, Interior Road, KM 4.8, Rincón, Puerto Rico 00677. But, most GPS systems will not recognize this address. To locate us, follow these directions:

FROM SAN JUAN: Set your GPS for Aguadilla, PR and take the exit to the right leaving San Juan airport (do not take the bridge), following signs for PR-26 West and the Minillas Tunnel. After going through the tunnel, take the PR-22 (tollway) West exit towards Bayamon/Arecibo when leaving San Juan airport. Follow PR-22 until it ends in Arecibo and becomes Route 2. Continue to follow Route 2 until you reach the first Walgreens in Aguadilla at the intersection with PR-107. Go straight and continue on Route 2 for 5.5 miles to a large pedestrian overpass and a traffic light at the intersection of Route #417. Make a right turn on Route #417. About two miles after making the right turn, look for a sign in the middle of the road indicating “Avenida Nativo Alers” sharply to the left in front of a Cemetery entrance. Take the sharp left onto Avenida Nativo Alers until it dead ends into Route #115, where you will take a left towards Rincon. Drive for about four miles to reach the intersection of Route #413 where it veers sharply up the hill on the right. Take the right uphill onto Route #413 and follow it until you see the GULF gas station (open 24 hours). Take the right turn immediately after the GULF gas station, following the road down to the bottom of the hill and along the beach. When you see the TAMBOO, make a left turn at the next road and proceed 250 feet to the Rincon Surf Resort at Casa Verde Hotel. If you have any issues, do not hesitate to call: 787.823.0610.

FROM AGUADILLA: Turn left to leave at the stop sign to exit the airport towards the city of Aguadilla. This road leaving the airport turns into Route #107 – continue through Aguadilla until you reach the (large) intersection with Highway #2. As you approach Highway #2, stay right following signs towards Mayaguez. Stay on Highway #2 for approximately 5.5 miles, where you will see a large pedestrian overpass and a traffic light at the intersection of Route #417. Make a right turn on Route #417. About two miles after making the right turn, look for a sign in the middle of the road indicating “Avenida Nativo Alers” sharply to the left in front of a Cemetery entrance. Take the sharp left onto Avenida Nativo Alers until it dead ends into Route #115, where you will take a left towards Rincon. Drive for about four miles to reach the intersection of Route #413 where it veers sharply up the hill on the right.
