Why does anyone like to go to PR?

I was thinking about taking the ferry there from Santo Domingo but I don't want to waste my vacation time if it is not worth it. Why was she disappointed?

We only went from the San Juan area where we stayed on the ocean across the north coast of the tiny island. We did see the rain forest area and that was OK

Perhaps the south of PR is better, I don't think I will try and find out.
