I am staying at the north-eastern end, so near there would be ideal. ;)

I'm probably duplicating what others have mentioned, but if you get the chance.
Rent a car and try to see some of the sites listed here and by the others. You can do some of these trips by an organized tour, but if there is more than one of you, you will probably be better off renting a car.
Places to see.
Old San Juan - easily spend a few hours walking around here. It's a little hilly so maybe jump on the free trolley bus to El Morro (the fort) and work your way back down through the city. Plenty of places to eat and drink for all budgets. Try Breakfast at La Bombonera (one of the oldest establishments in the city)
El Yunque (rainforest) plus spend the afternoon at Luquillo Beach
Check out one of the grand hotels on a weekend evening and try your hand (feet) at some latin dancing.
Ponce on the South coast for more Puerto Rican architecture
Arecibo Observatory. The James Bond movie Golden Eye and also the Jodie Foster movie Contact were filmed there.
There is also this: Las Cabezas de San Juan Nature Reserve (Tel:787-722-5882). I have not been, but I would like to (it sounds a cool place to visit). You can have an escorted tour through the reserve on an electric trolley, but you have to book in advance.
There is plenty to do here. You might even want to consider a side trip to Vieques or Culebra (as I've heard the beaches are amazing)
Try the local food stands and just enjoy everything that the island has to offer.
Also check the online guides frommers.com, roughguide.com and visit-the-coqui.com/home
