Looks like some type of tree frog..... I know we have ppl that have frogs on this forum, so I bet one of them will tell us for sure. But if it is a tree frog of some type, I bet you just may have not noticed them before this.

Check this out, there are 16 different species of tree frog where you live!

Ohh and this is interesting....

Critical Habitat has been designated in Puerto Rico because Coquies are in danger of extinction. In fact, in the last 20 years part of the Coqui family has been extinguished. Actually 2 of them are already extinct; the “Coqui Palmeado” (E. karlschmidti), which hasn’t been heard or seen since 1974 and the “Coqui Dorado” (E. jasperi), which has not been heard or seen since 1981.Unfortunately, the “Coqui de Eneida” hasn’t been heard or seen in several years as well. Although they appear listed in the Department of Natural Resources as “Threatened or Vulnerable Species” none of these species have their habitat declared “Critical”. The Coqui’s threatened status is based on the potential loss of habitats due to development of homes, agriculture use, and over collection of the species. Also due to the low reproductive rate and inability to disperse to other areas. In addition, recent studies indicate that acid rain and other types of contamination on the island of Puerto Rico may play a role in the decline of this species of Eleutherodactylus.

Try not getting your camera too close to the frog when snapping your photographs. Back up about 2-3 feet at least, and then try to take some more photos. This should help clear up the focus alot - you shouldn't need to zoom in at all.
