I went 2 years ago and used San Juan as base of operations, so I don't have specifics on where to stay... however I'd look for something in the corner of the island near Fajardo/Luquillo. Seemed to have some beaches but more importantly, was nearby the rainforest.

El Yunque is legit.

You can get anywhere within a couple hours though. Cabo Rojo was cool but that's away from the rainforests.

Definitely try the roasted/bbq'd pork down there. Some cool places in the hills along route 52 that'll make you feel like a local.

My uncle has a bar down in Santa Isabel, if you want to avoid the typical hotel accomodations you can find a place down south for pretty cheap. You can tie up your boat to the dock and walk up to his bar. It's called "El Chinchorro" The rainforest is about an hour away, but i figure you can get the same thrill driving through baranquitas.

Check out Old San Juan.. it's a very nice historic town. A much cleaner New Orleans in terms of architecture.

I stayed right down the road from El Yunque (which you have to check out). A beautiful rainforest trail that will last you a long time, but make sure you drive up high enough so you can get to the waterfall. Definitely jump in and swim for the experience.
