Can I get Moderators suggestions?

[chad]

Below is a post I just made in the "General Travel Info" forum. Since I assume the moderations are from Puertor Rico or know it very well, I was wondering if a few of you may be able to help answer the below questions. Thanks in advance, I really appreciate any and all suggestions!

If you've been to Puerto Rico before and have suggestions of where to stay,
I'd really appreciate it and would be happy to compensate you for your time
(see below). I, and three buddies, all 29 and 30 years old, will be going on
a Southern Caribbean cruise on Dec 2 through the 9th. Prior to the cruise,
we will be staying in Puerto Rico...probably in San Juan since that's where
the ship docks. We're looking to make the very most of our 3-day stay prior
to the cruise....

First, let me tell you about us so you have an idea of what we're looking
for. All 4 of us are very active (love to explore, snorkel, play on the
beach, exercise and outdoor activities, etc.) and want to experience as much
fun stuff while visiting as possible (as opposed to sitting around a pool or
shopping). We love the night life and will definitely want to be near the
best bars...ideally, we'd like to be walking distance form all the action.

Considering we only have 3 days in Puerto Rico and that the ship sails from
San Juan, would you recommend staying there opposed to other areas on the
island?

Second, from the research that I've done so far, it sounds like the two best
areas in San Juan for us would be either Condado or Isle Verde. Is this
correct? If so, which of the two would you recommend? What's most important
to us is:
a.) location near all the action and night life (bars and casino's)
b.) near the very best beaches

And do you have any recommendations for hotels in these two areas? After
spending the last few hours looking at hotels on the Net, it looks like the
San Juan Marriott may be the best bet for the Coronado area or Embassy
Suites for the Isle Verde area - both of which received excellent reviews.
We're really not looking for luxury or to be pampered, but would like decent
accommodations and it seems that the nicer hotels, such as these, are in the
very best locations.

Any and all info would be greatly appreciated. And if you could reply to
chad@global-fitness.com with your suggestions, that would be great. To
compensate you for your time, I'd be happy to give you free membership to
our award-winning online fitness program at http://www.global-fitness.com, which
would include unlimited fitness consulting from myself and all 26 of our
experts, fitness software, exercise and diet programs, fitness books, etc. I
hope to hear from you soon!

Go to the Home page of Perto Rico.com and click on the Travel link, in the Channels column.

If you don't find what you need there, many web sites belonging to tours, hotels, resorts, and private, in Puerto Rico, contains that information you want.

Just search for PUERTO RICO in a search engine and they will be listed.

Here are two popular ones:
