This was one of my favorite stays in Puerto Rico. I loved the how quiet the area was and all you could hear the coqui frogs at night. The property was well maintained and a lot to offer.

I really enjoyed my time at this hotel in Luquillo. The place is beautiful and extremely clean — they do a great job keeping everything spotless. The room was small but very comfortable. The bed and pillows were cozy. The staff, although few, were very attentive and welcoming. There are just a couple of things that could be improved. It would be nice if they provided coffee in the rooms since they already include a coffee pot and cups. Also, the continental breakfast could use a bit of an upgrade — mostly boxed pastries and sugary cereals like Froot Loops. It would be great to have some fresh options like bagels, baked goods from a local bakery, or healthier choices like oatmeal. Overall, it was a very nice stay, and I would definitely come back!

Great experience

We really enjoyed the experience. The one thing we think they can improve on is the “grab & go” breakfast. It really was pitiful. Luckily we’re seasoned travelers and went prepared with breakfast food.

The property was very aesthetically pleasing. There was a lit pool and hammocks outside. Additionally, there was a place where one could sit with friends or family and eat together. The rooms were cozy stacked train trailers (15’x12’est) which included a stand-up shower in the bathroom (4’x12’est). There’s air conditioning which did really well. We actually bought a blanket because we were cold. The only issue was that the air conditioning unit seemed to have mold above it on the wall and ceiling. There isn’t any ventilation unless you’re opening doors or windows with no screens. With it being right up against the rainforest, we found the bugs and lizards would quickly try to enter. It would be really nice if there was a built-in ventilation system that helped with the moisture that’s always in Puerto Rico and was present even more so due to the air conditioning unit. Other than that, it was an amazing location.
Hammocks and a little pool was available.
Mature trees surrounded the Location.
There were different fruit trees.
Lots of lizards. But none in your room.

The pictures of the property are somewhat deceiving. There is NO real breakfast here. There is coffee, some crackers, stale bread, some peanut butter. That’s it. Maybe some fruit. If you are still determined to stay here make sure to pack lightly because the rooms are tiny and cramped with all of the furnishings shown in the photos, photos which were clearly staged to make the rooms appear larger.

Need more options for breakfast, like bagels, toaster oven, boiled eggs, fruits, etc... We stayed for 7 days and I expected more options for breakfast. There were fruit flies in the room every day. The a/c should not blow directly to the bed. It made sleeping very cold even when we raised the temperature. The room had a stale smell that would not go away.

This property is so beautiful and quaint! It’s close to the El Yunque, and beautiful beaches. It is well maintained and clean. The robes are a great bonus! Instructions for check in and out were well explained and easy. It really is a beautiful place to stay at a great price, the rooms are smaller but have everything you need. We appreciated this as we were gone most of the day doing activities. The room information recommend a restaurant called Lolitas.. it was so good!! Our only suggestions would be more blankets in the room. The bed only included a flat sheet and a throw blanket. It was quite chilly at night. In addition, the bathrooms/unit needs an exhaust fan to help with the dampness. Over all 10/10, we cannot wait to come back!! Thank you!

This property has a good vibe, but there is no service on the property and the amenities are very low. The rooms are very small. The ability to store a piece of luggage is not available, with a room that is about 8 ft by 10 feet. There is room to hang only one bath towel, which is not enough with a pool and beaches nearby. Clearly everyone needs to dry beach and pool towels too. There is a very nice woman to call, and she really was responsive. But this is not a full service property, it is barely providing any service. It is a check in system by code on a gate, and getting service requires a call to someone to get help. I myself found this to be a disappointment.
