Pros: Beautiful weather and people, outrageous nightlife! Cons: Hurricane damage!
I've read mixed reviews here at Epinions about San Juan and Puerto Rico in general, but this is my favorite place to visit if I want a sunny friendly environment with nightlife and casinos (now if only Hawaii had casinos!)
Pros: Awesome beaches, beautiful scenery, easy to get to/from main island Cons: Must rent a car, protesters may mess up your travel plans

Pros: Everything except... Cons: The cost, a little prohibitive.
