John,
Is this on the way to or from Culebra? And you will have just the afternoon/evening in San Juan? If both answers are yes, then I would suggest ditching the swim part of the equation and stay in Old San Juan. (Nothing against San Juan beaches, but if you are going to be on Culebra, the beaches in San Juan just don't compare) We had an afternoon/evening on the tail end of a trip last year and stayed at Hotel Milano on Fortaleza in OSJ. Very reasonably priced for OSJU and easy walking to lots of cool sights and sounds. We also easily picked up the free public "trolley" that dropped us off right at El Morro. The kids LOVED that fort, and we could have spent another couple hours walking around if the youngest in our group hadn't started to melt down. We never had time to get to the other fort, San Cristobal?, but are definitely planning to see it another time.
Be warned that most of the hotels in OSJ have a two night minimum if it is a weekend night. Good luck!
Sue
