Honestly Puerto Rico is nice, but compared to Aruba, you will be EXTREMELY disappointed. For hotel info why not check www.tripadvisor.com We have found their hotel reviews to be pretty accurate worldwide.
I found a deal for the Condado Plaza a couple of weeks ago. For the summer, $130/night per room. This did not include food though and like Aruba, being an island, meals though are not going to be cheap. I searched and searched, but could not find where they offered any type of food plans.
Have you ever been on a cruise? Cruise lines are hurting due to the poor US economy and there are some good deals. You would have a floating hotel and well as "food included". Both Carnival and Royal Caribbean cruiselines sail out of San Juan, even in summer. The advantage of sailing out of SJU instead of Miami is that these cruises are able to travel further south. Royal Caribbean's cruise stops in both Aruba and Curacao. Curacao is an excellent port. 
Before or after your cruise, take a hotel package through the cruiseline for a couple of nights to do some sightseeing in Puerto Rico: Old San Juan and El Yunque Rainforest are the most notable sights.
