The bed and breakfast is super well situated with two private hikes that lead to fresh water…read morecascade lagoons where you can swim in the natural waterfall. The views are amazing and the breakfast is refreshing! Such a pleasure to be perched up in the rainforest, especially when Skip is teaching us about the different birds right in front of us like a post card! Cute little hangout spots in the common area and our room had a private patio and hammock! The hosts are so welcoming, greeting us with fresh fruit, toast and eggs! They even drove us down the road to the nearby restaurant (Noelia's - you have to check it out!) and were very accommodating.

As most ecolodges are pretty basic operations, Casacubuy is typical. No frills, bordering on meh…read more On the wrong side of El Yunque National Park. I would not recommend this place. The good: wifi works, owner is a nice elderly American woman, views are good. The not so good: there's no restaurant here or nearby...be prepared to drive down the mountain to find anything. Guests are encouraged to bring their own food and store and cook their own meals in a community refrigerator. (wish I had known this beforehand). The premises are quite tired and worn. But also somewhat dirty/unkempt. The road ends 1/4 mile up the hill and is no longer passable, post hurricane, meaning it's now a one hour drive to get to the Visitors Center and the main, popular and desirable side of the National park. None of this is mentioned on their website. We changed our plans and checked out a day early, and didn't bother ask for a refund, we were so eager to get out of there!

After a three day stay in Old San Juan, what a beautiful and amazing change of pace and scenery…read moreNelson house was. When we booked the house, we did not realize it was towards the top of a mountain near the south entrance to El Yunque Rainforest. It was a harrowing and gorgeous drive up the mountain up the narrow and circling road. The owner Nelson was very accommodating and helpful. The house itself was very hospitable with amazing views out into the mountains and rainforest. The sound of the coqui frogs and other rainforest creatures filled the nights. The kitchen really was a full kitchen with all the appliances, pans and cookware we needed. We cooked meals three of the nights were there. Being on a mountain, things are not the same as a hotel in a city. Both beds in the two bedrooms were not very comfortable to sleep on. The electricity went out several times we were there. During an extended outage, Nelson did provide a generator for us. Also there is not internet access. The TV was not working either. So I would suggest a cell phone with internet access if you have it, and bring a laptop with some movies. These minor things did not really dampen our experience. We loved the views, the hammocks on the balcony in the evenings, and the relaxation of experiencing what it is like to live in a rain forest.Further up the mountain is the Rainforest. We spent an afternoon slowly strolling through it and would probably have never gone to the southside if not staying here. We enjoyed the experience this house gave us.

This place is great! You definitely get what you pay for, very bare bones but totally worth it! Had…read moreeverything you need in the kitchen and a nice bed! The bedding gets a little hot still but the air conditioning works great! The little bar across the stress is a really fun place to hang and had excellent plantains! The view was outstanding and a lot of fun to explore el yunque, however the main trail is closed right now, so check into that ahead of time! The owners were very nice! 100% recommend!

Swinging in a hammock, listening to the coquis, and looking up at the moon through palm trees full of coconuts..... Rooms were simple but more than enough. Clean and nice. The property really makes you feel like you're out in the jungle... away from civilization and yet still completely safe (a rarity on the island). Short drive to Fajardo, El Yunque, or the Luquillo kiosks. Breakfast is simple and serviceable, but the real draw here is the laid back atmosphere and beautiful grounds. The owner is quick to shake your hand and welcome you to his little slice of paradise. Highly recommended.

I visited back in 2012 or 2013 I believe. It was so amazing and comfortable. We regretted having rented a beach house in Arecibo after having the first night here. The tranquility, the land, the views, the sounds. It was a perfect retreat from life and technology. I miss you already. :(

We recently stayed at the Rainforest Inn during our trip to Puerto Rico, and I want to share our…read morehonest experience both the good and the bad. This is simply our experience, and I'm not interested in debating or defending how we felt. To start with the positives: before booking, I read many reviews and was excited about supporting what appeared to be a small business run by a husband and wife. The property itself is absolutely beautiful , truly breathtaking scenery. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and surprisingly cool despite there being no air conditioning. The cooling system on the beds was amazing. We also did the hike on the property, which was beautiful and definitely one of the highlights of our stay. The wife was incredibly pleasant, welcoming, and knowledgeable about hospitality. She made us feel comfortable from the beginning. Unfortunately, several interactions with the husband left us feeling uncomfortable throughout our stay. Each morning, coffee and tea were offered to guests. One morning, since we planned to hike, we politely declined coffee multiple times. Despite saying no several times, the offer continued in a way that felt oddly tense, as though our declining offended him. During conversation, he openly mentioned that his wife often tells him he comes across as rude. He also praised her hospitality skills, and honestly, I completely agreed with him on that point. What really unsettled me happened when we were signing waivers for the hike. He handed me the waiver with a pen attached. After I passed the paperwork to my husband, my husband reached for the pen, and instead of handing it to him directly, the pen was tossed toward him. Whether intentional or not, the interaction immediately rubbed me the wrong way and changed the energy for me completely. For context, we are a Black couple, and while I cannot say what anyone's intentions were, some of the interactions throughout our stay felt uncomfortable enough that it became hard not to notice. Especially in the way my husband was treated at times. Another example: he offered to send horseback riding information to me. Since I didn't have my phone nearby, I asked twice for the information to be sent to my husband instead. Despite that, the information was still sent to me. The final issue involved the laundry area. We were washing a small load of clothes and some towels during the allowed hours. A few minutes into drying, he opened the dryer himself, removed my personal clothing including bras and underwear -- and left them sitting on top of the washer. He later sent a text saying the dryer was overloaded and making noise, although the load was not packed tightly and was smaller than the load left behind by the previous guests. What bothered me most was not the concern about the machine, but the fact that my personal undergarments were handled instead of simply asking us to adjust the load ourselves. None of these incidents individually caused a confrontation because we chose to remain respectful and calm throughout our stay. However, taken together, they left a stain on what otherwise could have been an excellent experience. Afterward, I revisited some of the lower rated reviews and noticed that several other guests also mentioned discomfort with the husband's demeanor and communication style. I also noticed responses to criticism often seemed defensive. Again, this review is not written to argue with the owners or invite debate from strangers online. This was our experience, and no one gets to tell us how we should feel about the interactions we had during our stay.

Casa Libre is on the eastern shore of PR very near the El Yunque rain forest, Luquillo beach and the ferry over to Vieques and Culebra! The rooms are really nice (my niece says I like fancy things so extrapolate from that) and have glorious air conditioning which can be a rare thing for B&Bs on the island. Rooms also have small fridges and wireless internet is also available. I love the large shower in the room we stayed in -- big enough for a shower for two! Jordan fell in love with the pool which was right outside our door. Nothing beats a great swim before breakfast. There are great views of Playa Naguabo and the fishing dock and you can see Monkey Island from here too. Jordan also loved Patti's french toast which she even requested for dinner one evening. This is a great place to use as your headquarters for exploring the island! Josue even gives tours of all the PR historical landmarks like Old San Juan, El Yunque, Fajardo's BioBay, Ponce and many more. His company is Borincano Tours and will be listed on the website soon. Give them a call, stay a while.

We didn't really know what to expect but are so glad we decided to stay at this lovely guesthouse. Josue and Dawn are exactly the kind of people you want as hosts- kind, and attentive, but totally laid back. They answered our questions, got our room ready quickly (we didn't have reservations) and then let us relax by the pool in privacy. They also have space inside their gated property to park a few cars and we were glad to have a spot for our rental. The room itself was basic, but clean and the bed was comfortable. The guesthouse overlooks a small scenic bay with a seawall. The beach is short 5-10-minute drive away. The people we encountered in this small fishing town were truly the nicest we met on our trip. If you're looking to relax this is a great spot, with several good places to eat within a few minutes walk away. We will definitely be back next time we go to PR, perhaps as a great jumping-off point to the nearby islands of Vieques or Culebra or to go hiking and visit the local rainforest, Thank you for such a pleasant stay!!
