Having lived in San Juan in the mid 70's I returned with my wife for our 31st anniversary in April to visit a close friend still living in San Juan and asked hiim to show us Puerto Rico. We traveled to several spots all over the island and on the last night we stayed here. With out doubt our favorite,... More

For my birthday, I wanted to have a stress-free, hammoc, out-of-reach cellular signal to relax and I got it. The service is on point, answering all my questions and offering options, making the menu a flexible one. They even have a vegetarian menu. The rooms are like typical wooden houses. The landscape has a variety of plants identified. My room... More

Thank you for your review. We're glad you enjoyed your visit. At $125 per night our rates are moderate and well within the range of comparable accommodations. We're running a great special offer on Tripadvisor whereby you pay for three nights and get the fourth night free. More

The landscape is beautiful, the cabins are warming and immaculate, the beauty of the gardens! I was with my mother a few months ago (two times) and we renew our energy and relax our minds. In addition to that: its worth the trip to the mountains only to enjoy the EXQUISITE, HEALTHY AND DIFFERENT FOOD! (I dont think you find... More

Our whole family, kids and adults, loved this place -- it is beautifully landscaped and cared for, extremely remote and different from anything we'd done before. The rooms are more like cabanas, very simple but clean and charming, with lovely boardwalks and balconies with hammocks. It's a bit more like camping than hotel-ing, and you'll hear everything around you --... More

Nice place and definitely up in the mountains of Utuado, PR. Long winding roads to get there...nice views along the way. Be sure to get there BEFORE dark--the roads can be a little difficult to navigate during the day..would hate for it to be your first time trying to get there in the dark! Drivers beware: after you drive up... More

My girl friend and I stayed here for two nights in April on 2011. Although some other reviewers thought the food was not that good I disagree. I thought it was well prepared and the menu was diverse with a mixture of local foods and a hint of international. I do think that prices should be included on the menu,... More

Thank you for writing this review. We're glad you enjoyed the dining experience. The prices are listed on the breakfast and dinner menus. They do not include the dollar sign ($), just the amount. The beds are on the firm side of medium and not to everyone's liking. Extra blankets are available upon request at the front desk or from... More

What you get: amazing jungle, awesome swimming pool, relaxing hammock on your personal patio, a comfy bed, and the amazing sounds of the coqui frogs as you sleep (including a cute croaking frog key chain on your room key). What you don't get: tv's or telephones. I would skip the dinner, not worth forty bucks. If you do go don't... More

Thank you for your review. We're glad you enjoyed your Casa Grande experience. The night in question we had a large unexpected group of dinner guests and we came up a little short on our offerings at the end of the evening when this reviewer arrived to dine. Our regular practice is to maintain a more than ample inventory of... More

Lovely. Everyone was friendly. Sounds at night were truly tropical. Not luxurious but geared more to enjoying the outside. Rooms are sparse, more like row house cabins (neighbors sound like they are in your room) but amazing view from each. Took yoga in the morning to the sounds of the birds, the local dogs barking and the roosters crowing. Pool... More

The pictures looked amazing everywhere and the reviews were all good, so we booked. The area is great but the barracks style room is not. The bed is a cheap springy, 1970's throw back. The walls are so thin, we could here people sneeze. The shower was weird because we could hear the person in the bathroom next to us... More

Thank you for your review. Each guest room has either one queen or two full size beds. The condition of the mattresses are checked regularly by housekeeping. We replace mattresses when needed and buy Sealy's brand, their highest grade commercial quality. If the guest had brought this matter to our attention we would have investigated and either changed the guest's... More

Thank you for your review. The two guest room walls to the outside have Miami style metal windows with crank handles. There are no "windows that have blinds made of concrete blocks". Please use the directions on our website instead of your GPS to find us as it's a whole lot easier getting here on the main roads. More
