Puerto Rico!

A small island territory of the U.S., this island is overlooked in the Caribbean destination bank, likely because it is a U.S. territory. But, that is unfortunate, because this small island has some of the best fusion Caribbean music and Spanish food for miles and miles.
After visiting here a number of times, I find the Isla Verde area to be more touristy and standard practice of what vacationers expect when on vacation; high end hotels, beach access, and overpriced restaurants and bars along the main access roads between the airport and the hotel strip.
There are some fantastic restaurants off the beaten path. We enjoyed the Ceviche House, a Peruvian restaurant, on more than one occasion and found that the $12 U.S. cab fare from our hotel seemed fair. Yes, we could have walked, but why? We were done with the best platters of ceviche on the island, we had no intention of walking anywhere.
We also enjoyed many bars which had delicious local cocktails of coconut sangria and such.

We have now stayed at at least four different hotels/ B&B's and each has it's own distnct characteristic of the island. So, deciding what you prefer, will be the first step in deciding where to stay.
Casino's, family pools, peace and quiet, a great beach, live music on site - once you have made the most important choices, you can find pretty much anything you need and want on this industrious, fast paced island.

Make sure you check out the Rain Forest, Old San Juan, the cats of San Juan and many many other historic castles and landmarks this island has to offer. There are plenty of distractions and diversions to keep you busy on a vacation or if you happen to be there for business.
