What to do in San Juan Puerto Rico?

So I like watches and motorcycles and will be spending the next week there while the wife attends a conference? Anything to see or check out while I'm there? All recommendations/tips big or small appreciated, Gracias

For watches in Old San Juan you can go to Club Jibarito, Blue Diamond and Kury. At the same time you can go sight seen and got to the EL Morro and San Cristobal Forts.

Any idea how the rain forest is after the hurricane? We’re going for spring break next month and hopefully we’ll be able to have some fun and adventures!

I wouldn't count on heading to El Yunque. It sounds like their is still a lot of damage and very little open at this time. It's really a shame as the rain-forest was one of the best parts of my visits to Puerto Rico.

So we're back in NYC today and really miss the place already. Thanks everyone for the tips/advice etc. If theres anyone on the fence about going dont hesitate, just go. The Island suffered a huge hit from the hurricane but not the knock out punch. The people are the nicest I've met anywhere and couldn't do enough or help us out any way possible. Food and drinks are terrific and Old San juan is a treasure. San Cristobal and Morro are must sees. Cant wait to go back again.

Did your resort lose power when you were there? I seen some articles about power loss in San Juan.

No our resort (La Concha, Condado) was fine the whole time. Power was interrupted at the airport terminal yesterday on our way back for about 30mins but no big deal.
