For that part of the world, Cuba is still a favourite of mine although it might not be a choice for you.

We are leaning more towards San Juan......
Do you have any recommendations for that one ?

We would like to stay in safe area but a resort that has good food options , and activities or excursions if we decide to do that.
My questions would you vote San Juan or Cayman?
Second , any recommendations for either of these places?

First, let me admit that I am not a fan of "all inclusives"; when I travel overseas, I like to sample the local food, visit with local people, and soak-up as much of the local culture as I can - something you cannot do inside a walled resort just tangentially related to the outside surroundings. If you want an all-inclusive, why bother to spend the money to go overseas?
Having said that... are you a diver? If not, you will probably find Grand Cayman boring after a day or two. Puerto Rico offers-up many more options - El Yunque National Forest is fantastic for hikers; the Islands of Culebra and Veiques are fascinating day (or overnight) trips, and Old San Juan is a great cultural experience. Of course, all of that requires you escape the walls of your enclosed compound. I would definitely suggest you do that.
