At the Condado Vanderbilt hotel in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Christian Correa clocked in to work the night-shift as a doorman and braced for the worst.
Correa, who is also a bellman at the hotel, has seen a surge in American tourists coming to the US territory in the last three months and the hotel has been busy. Although he used to enjoy high season before the pandemic, recently, many tourists arriving to Puerto Rico have enraged local residents and hospitality workers as the island eases its Covid-19 restrictions.
“The tourists think they can do whatever they want,” says Correa, 24, who is also a student at the University of Puerto Rico. “We’ve seen fights, parties in the rooms and aggressive behavior.”
Low-cost flights to Puerto Rico have enticed many travelers to choose the island as a vacation spot during the pandemic. A one-way flight to Puerto Rico from Florida booked two days in advance could be as low as $62.

The combination of US residents wanting to escape cold weather, cheap flight tickets and easing restrictions on the island has been bringing tourists en masse.

I wasn’t surprised to see it was the usual suspects. The comments(mostly in Spanish) were hilarious.
Solution - give Puerto Rico its independence so that it can control its own borders.
Perfect. Seconded.
Post number number six, I had no idea a walrus can make it that far inland.
Is there any kind of common distinguishing characteristic of these boorish people? If so, it may help me explain things to you.
They should have booked with Rodney Dangerfield’s Travel Agent:
I told my travel agent I wanted to go on vacation. He told me I could spend six nights in Puerto Rico. No days, just six nights in Puerto Rico. I asked him what do I do during the day, he said, ‘I don’t care what you do, just stay out of Puerto Rico.’
Man, I read the Spanish comments. A lot of comments that are not flattering about tourists with Biden Bucks.
I like to be in Am-er-i-ca
Everything free in Am-er-i-ca
Okay by me in Am-er-i-ca...
Check out some of the Miami boating channels on YouTube. I never knew thong bikinis were so popular or that twerking had gone so mainstream in the "Yachting community"
SPJNK.
Thar she blows! What a piece of garbage.

Tourists right here in the US are getting worse every year. Louder and more partying. No consideration for those who live here.
“Parties on the rooms”. Omg nooooo
Stimulus checks

Had a 6 story apartment building burn down on my block in Chicago when a Puerto Rican was barbecuing in his bath tub.
