[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just so you know, PR is actually an hour ahead of D.C.  And I don't think PR really has any all inclusives.  [/quote]

Only in the winter.  PR does not have DTS, so we are on the same time zone right now.

I also don't think that there are all inclusives, but they may have added some now.

Native Puertorican here.  I would recommend Gran Melia in Rio Grande, near El Yunque.  You will need to get a car to go anywhere.

Be aware that traffic is horrible most of the time.  It's like driving in DC during rush hour.  And the pCondeople drive almost the same.

I don't think that the touristy areas are any more dangerous than other touristy areas anywhere else.  Most people are just prejudiced.

The other recommendation would be Culebras for a couple of days and do a kayak expedition on the bay at night.

Although Vieques is beautiful and underdeveloped because of the Marines, I would stay away because of the nuclear testing and the fact that the Vieques population has a much higher ratio of cancer than the rest of the island (and it was only 1/3 occupied until recently).

I think Condado would be great, but maybe not with kids.  I would say that the Luquillo beach is one of the nicest and then you can eat at one of the "chinchorros" some  of the deep fried stuff for a full experience (I would go with an alcapurria or pionono myself).

Also, Ponce might be a good alternative and it has the Museum of Art where you will see one of the most popular paintings by Campeche, "El Velorio," and it's amazing in person.  Downtown Ponce also has an old fashioned Fire station with the old cars that would be a hit with the kids and there are several stores around, the Cathedral is right there and beautiful and the first church of the area is around the corner with a ton of history.

Cabo Rojo is also a possibility if all you want is beach.

Depending on when you go, some places are better than others and the restaurants recommendations will also vary.
