There are some tourist shops on narrow, winding cobblestone streets which I can take or leave, but the architecture, history, restaurants and street food are fantastic.
yes get out and actually see where you have traveled to:-:@:-):-:, or else big whoop, why not just book a Florida/Arizona trip for the warm weather & pool.

I recommend La Estacion (2 minutes from the resort, an incredible Puerto Rican BBQ with great seafood and Churrasco), El Bohio (great for seafood and Lobster) and Pasion Por El Fogon (try Puerto Rico's national dish, mofongo -- and everything else is incredible too.)
Hope this helps.
sorry to hear about the crappy food & thanks a bunch for the restaurant sugggestions^. Amazing that the resort doesn't feature some Puerto Rican fare.
