Anyone wanting to film a remake of Treasure Island, or a recreation of the invasion of Iwo Jima—including the raising of the Stars and Stripes atop Mount Suribachi--or a Three Coins in the Fountain–type romantic comedy, need look no further than Puerto Rico.

If your script is a James Bond-type spy epic set in the Caribbean, San Juan gives you splendid hotels and casinos and Old San Juan’s narrow cobblestoned streets and rooftops provide the perfect setting for chase scenes. Imagine Bond fleeing a dastardly villain along the ramparts of El Morro or Fort San Cristóbal or running out of the shining Caribe Hilton Hotel into Fort San Geronimo in the hotels back garden.

Ah, you want to film a story of a pair of 30-plus year olds--one in a marriage to a boring but dedicated spouse, the other suffering the seven year itch-- enjoying a fling in a romantic city.

San Juan is a city made for romance.

Imagine our lovers’ saying goodbye on a hotel terrace overlooking the Condado lagoon and San Juan Yacht Club at night:

She, “I’ll never forget you and this week in San Juan.”

He, “We’ll always have San Juan.”
