Puerto Rico hotel or resort?

[brooklyn]

We’re looking into doing a quick trip to Puerto Rico for February break. Me, H, our 6 year old and our then 11 month old. H thinks a hotel by the beach is sufficient, but I’d really prefer a resort with cabanas, spa, etc. I’m a SAHM and desperately want a break from the kids, lol.

Any recs near San Juan that aren’t $400+ a night? Or should we just suck it up and splurge? We haven’t had a real family vacation in forever, and our marriage has been rocky, so I prefer to be as relaxing as possible.

We stayed at Bahia Beach, which was about 20-25 minutes from San Juan. We didn't stay in the hotel (which is a St. Regis and I assume very expensive), but in an AirBnB condo in the resort. It was awesome!

That sounds great! We might actually prefer a baby proofed Airbnb to hotel.
