Bus travel here is not very reliable and takes forever to get anywhere. Rental cars are cheap, try thrifty car rental. I think the last time I rented there it was less than $20 for the day. Also, pay the extra $1 a day for the autoexpreso pass.
Plenty of breaks in the SJU area, and even more if you're willing to drive 30-45 minutes. Rincon, Aguadilla, Isabela, all on the west and where the surf is the best. But, minimum 2 hours drive to get there
