Movie Set Travel: El Cantante

J-Lo makes her return to the big screen with today's pick, El Cantante, together with hubby Marc Anthony. It chronicles three decades in the life of salsa great Hector Lavoe, from the perspective of his Bronx-born wife Ms. J-Lo, er, Puchi.

We've heard there's more chemistry on-screen between Marc and Jen than there was between Ben and Jen, but other than that, El Cantante's gotten some lukewarm reviews.

This one was shot in one of our favorite tropical getaways, Puerto Rico. Here's what to check out when you head down there:

Where To Stay: Casa Ilsena Inn -- Head out of San Juan to Rincon and check into this charming inn that looks a bit out of Mexico. It's definitely laid back, with just 9 rooms and you'll share a hot tub and pool with other guests but it's the perfect place to sneak away to and it won't cost you more then $200 a night.

Where To Eat: Cru -- Voted one of San Juan's best new restaurants, Cru is located inside the Normandie Hotel. Guests can choose from some of the freshest fish and seafood offerings available including halibut carpaccio and cuttlefish with carmelized onions.

Where To Swim: Bahia Mosquito -- Head to Vieques for this amazing sight, one of three bioluminescent bays on the island where you'll see the tiny natural organisms that appear to shine through the ocean at night.
