But most speakers tend to use "r" and "rr" in a mostly standard way. 
I wouldn't say it's a matter of difficulty; it's probably more about the influence of local indigenous languages.

Regarding how Puerto Ricans pronounce Puerto Rico, I mostly have heard /puel-to xi-ko/; "r" before a consonant pronounced like 'l', and 'rr' pronounced like French or Brazilian Portuguese 'r', English 'h', or Spanish 'j'.
