Wonderful little get away. In the mountains, but still close to town, and everything else. Can hear the road, and the cars that travel through, but they give ear plugs due to the noise.
Was a sweet room for the price you paid. A bit small, but one shouldn't mind with the right person. In a great area, always had something to do! Loved the free breakfast and downstairs hangout area.
The culture here is something you can truly feel. You hear the coquí at night, smell the fresh air, and actually want to hang outside your room or by the pool. It’s not just a stay, it’s an experience. This is something you simply won’t get inside a Marriott or Hilton. If you’re looking for something real, relaxing, and connected to the island, this is it.
Gorgeous gated property with enough and easy parking. Room was perfect and the balcony was cute. Very peaceful and scenic location, with a pool, hammocks, seating area and a great breakfast room that is open all day.
The rooms are so incredibly small. I was there with my husband and there’s no place for your bags AT ALL. The property is great, but the rooms are so small
This is an amazing property for families with teens! The guesthouse has 3 separate units that allowed kids to have their own rooms. The outdoor covered patio was perfect for gathering, meals, and listening to the coqui frogs in the evening. The main unit has a full kitchen and a bonus indoor hammock! The guesthouse is secluded from the rest of the units and has a private gated entrance. The property is in a quiet area yet close to beaches and other attractions. I would definitely recommend!
We stayed 5 nights and it truly exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless. Check -in was easy, and parking was super convenient.
The grounds and landscaping are absolutely stunning. Pictures honestly don’t do it justice. Our room was spotless, smelled fresh, and the bed was so comfortable. Having access to a kitchen was also a huge plus and came in handy throughout our stay.
This place really didn’t miss a single detail. Falling asleep to the sounds of the rainforest was the cherry on top. The entire vibe is so quaint, peaceful, and relaxing.
10/10 recommend we would absolutely stay here again.

Fun, pretty place. Nicely decorated. Because it's made out of shipping containers the rooms are a bit snug. Breakfast offerings are basic. Worked well for an overnight in transit. Not sure how it would work for a longer stay but it's fun.

Such a great experience! The rooms are quite small, but it gave the exact rainforest stay vibes I was looking for! The breakfast room was a great bonus - it even had bug spray and sunscreen! The grounds were clean. We loved looking for coqui frogs at night! Absolutely recommend!!

Overall a nice place to stay. The room and facilities are clean and well maintained. Be aware that the rooms are storage containers so they are tiny (may be better for 1 person or 2 smaller people), not well ventilated (the sheets and all of our clothing was slightly damp the whole time), and not well insulated so you can here other guests if they are loud. If you are not looking for all the frills and just want a nice clean space to sleep so you can explore the island and local beaches, then this is a fairly good choice.
What a wonderful relaxing place to stay! Clean, fresh smelling room, bed was comfortable! Management were quick to reply to requests and very accommodating and kind! Continental breakfast was so convenient, water bottles, fruit, cheese, small snacks, coffee was delicious! Location was ideal close to everything, but tucked into the side of a mountain! Views were spectacular!! Will be back for sure!!
