Was there a million years ago. San Juan was a big nothing, just a strip along the coast with nice hotels and nice beaches. Anything further than across the street was slummy. BUT, took a trip around the the perimeter of the island for a few days with a local. THAT is you want to do! Stay away from San Juan. Check out Areicibo Observatory... built into a bowl in the mountains. It's like a jungle and you can take a tour into the caverns and such. It's like a jungle all around. The "mountains" reminded me of Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons, small but very high hills... pretty cool to me. Wound up in a fishing village on the western side where there were no tourists.... Watched some boats come in with real big billfish in some tournament. That's what you want to do, take a road trip around the perimeter. The beaches at Dorado were pretty good, just west of San Juan. Check that out if you are stuck. San Juan is just another hotel and margarita tourist twilight zone. But maybe you like that...
