Service Charge/Tipping
Tipping is much the same as in the United States. In hotels and large restaurants service charges are usually included. Many inexpensive restaurants do not add service charge however and would appreciate a tip between 15% and 20%. |

Puerto Rico is in the Atlantic Standard Time Zone, which is four hours behind GMT, ie Britain in winter, and five hours behind Europe. During the winter it is an hour ahead of the eastern seaboard of the USA.
Puerto Rico has no daylight saving time, so when the clocks change in summer in the northern hemisphere the island is on the same time as the American eastern seaboard, and five hours behind Britain and six behind Europe |
