If you have just been to the VI, the beaches in PR will be a let down, IMHO. On the other hand, time spent at El Convento in Old San Juan will make you think you have been transported to the old world. They have a great small rooftop pool,happy hour every night, and are within walking distance of a large number of great restaurants and bars. Try 311!
We loved everything about our stay. The happy hour exceeded our expectations many times over, many levels about the generic club level offerings I encounter when traveling for work.
We had a room with a huge terrace, it felt like our own little apartment in some European city.
We stayed at the above mentioned Rio Mar. I agree, the beaches don't compare to the VIs, I didn't even walk down to the beach. The rest of our group walked the beach but didn't get in the water
