Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Casa Grande Mountain Retreat is a heavenly and amazing place. Getting there from the South (much easier from the North) is an adventure. But worth it. The beauty of the location (waterfalls, lovely pool, flowers, all the space), combined with a helpful and kind staff, and very good food. It is really nice that our breakfasts arrive in a picnic basket. My one desire is that it stay not too accessible. But who am I to keep others away?
We loved the lush, rustic setting of Casa Grande Mountain Retreat and will definitely return when we are next in PR! This is a place to get away from the hustle and hassles of modern life. Open the window slats, disconnect your devices, and just relax to the sounds of coqui, tropical birds, and wind in the palms. They have renovated the reception and dining area of the main building, so it is a calm, well-appointed place to dine or have a coffee. Our meals were delicious and reflected the chef’s talent for balancing traditional Puerto Rican dishes with new approaches. Guests should understand the drive could be a challenge if you are not used to narrow, curvy roads, — especially after dark — but everyone seemed to drive cautiously. There are also some outdoor adventures nearby which we will check out next time.
Extremadamente satisfecho con ganas de volver.
Need to decompress? Connect with nature? Breathe clean, oxygenated air? Book & thank me later!
Our dinning experience wasn't to our liking. The food that was ordered tasted as if it was microwaved
The resort was beautiful and tranquil. The staff were humble and accommodating.
Usually a nice temperature area, but in this summer it was not so fresh and the ceiling fan was lazy. It was full and my wife needed a close accommodation but was not available and movement was not easy.
There are a few things you should know up front before you book here. 1) there is no AC... so if you're going in the dead of summer and you're sensitive to heat, think twice. 2) the restaurant has limited food choices, the menu doesn't really change, and it's *expensive*. For example, one night for 3 people we paid about $180 for 3 gyro sandwiches, 3 fruit juices, a beer and 2 desserts. The food was fine but is honestly an area for improvement. I don't mind paying money for good food, but we all wished there were more local choices and less "pasta bolognese"/chicken gyros. 3) if you are at all sensitive to rainforest noises like coqui or other frogs, this place isn't going to work for you because every night is a riot of noises almost all night long. We loved it, some might not. 4) its rustic. No mini fridge in the room, no options for lunch except what's on offer in the snack case (when we were there it was granola bars, yogurt, chia pudding, and rice with plantains). The rooms are clean and comfortable, but it is rustic. And like in many parts of PR, you can't flush your used TP. The surroundings are absolutely gorgeous, the pool is lovely, the grounds are meticulously kept. All of the staff is super friendly. The trails down to the river are a fun excursion, so bring shoes you can scramble across rocks in. We loved Batey Adventure Tours about 25 mins away, the river kayaking adventure was wonderful and don't miss Mathias cafe next door to the Batey office. Roast chicken, alcapurrias, habichuelas, and other delicious food awaits. It's a favorite of locals. Finally, the resort is LGBTQ friendly so they get 500 stars from us just for that.
The property is beautiful! Our stay was fantastic, but I was not aware that some.rooms do not have mountain view. This was a bit disappointing, especially at the price we paid and what we hoped for during our anniversary trip . I would recommend more clarity on the room category/description so guest know what they are booking. The staff and property grounds were fantastic though. We thoroughly enjoyed the stay and the beautiful hikes.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. When I arrived I was given a room right next to the pool, with a loud system right outside the door. I immediately requested a room change and they were very kind and gave me a much quieter spot. Definitely call before and request a room away from the pool. It might also be helpful to request a room that overlooks the mountains and not the garden. The garden side is basically a wall of greenery, it’s nice but there’s no view or direct sunlight. This was one of the few places where the pictures are 100% accurate. My hotel room was cute, clean and comfortable. The restaurant has vegan options but is not vegan. This was a bit of a bummer because Im vegan and I ate most of my meals there. The menu was also the same everyday. So it became a bit “meh”. I went solo and I was not prepared for how terrifying the drive there would be. I rented a car and followed the instructions they emailed the day before. I do wish they’d e-mail that much earlier and more than once, I’m a planner and had printed directions in case my gps didn’t work only to find out from that email that the gps would likely be wrong and I didn’t have access to a printer. It added a bit of anxiety. The area is all blind turns and narrow roads, so be prepared! During 1 excursion I ended up on a 1 lane dirt road on a cliffside, I almost started to cry 😭 BUT I made it and you (probably) will too:) The pool was great and I got a massage that was lovely. Overall it was great!
There is no TV, no closet, no AC, no mini fridge. The lighting in the bathroom is non existent. Showering at night was difficult since there was terrible lighting and the bottles in the shower weren't labeled where I could see them. The grounds are pretty though. But I would not stay here again.
Amazing experience and even better at night.
Quiet, clean facilities. Loved the mountain surroundings, being in contact with Mother Nature. Friendly staff . Will go back.
Truly a magical place to come and get away from it all and sleep in nature. Somewhat of a tough drive but so worth it. Food options are mostly limited to the hotel restaurant so recommend bringing extra snacks. I'm definitely coming back.
Relaxing! And they are very accommodating!!
Beautiful place to stay in the jungle. The pool was lovely, the area was great to explore, the meals were very good, and the staff very friendly and helpful.
This hotel would not be the correct choice for most people. There is no air conditioning, TV, or frig, and it is very (!) remote. We took a Google recommended way and could have easily gotten stuck or dead (the hotel sent better instructions but I didn't read all of the details). The restaurant doesn't have so many choices and is mostly "healthy". The jungle location, however, is so nice! We were so surprised that there were NO mosquitos, unlike the rest of PR. This is probably due to having no standing water and so many birds. (The birds, frogs, crickets made it tough for me to sleep well, but my wife loved it.) The bed is really comfortable, with cotton sheets. The super strong fan made it comfortable and even cold as the night got cooler; this higher, forested location makes AC not needed. The food quality and patio dining were fantastic, also. An automatic tip of 18% is added, which I didn't notice, but the staff fixed this the next day. We also did the nice (and free) yoga class. The pool is very nice and we took a nice walk along the river adjacent.
Serenity Now! This place is a hidden gem nestled in Utuado. If you are looking to disconnect and just breathe in pure oxygen, night sounds and morning song birds this is the place. Private and clean. Eco friendly. Beautiful botanicals surrounding the trails and walkways. A must do if you need some R/R. There’s a restaurant on site food is reasonable and very delicious. Enjoy the few pics I’ve posted. I will be back Casa Grande! Thank you Emily and Crystal for the exceptional hospitality!
Loved it! Will return!
What a great place on earth. Very beautiful and whimsical. Great staff. Very accommodating. I really miss it in this moment.
Absolutely loved our stay.The view is out of the world.Pictures did not do it justice.The rooms were spacious and beautifully decorated.If you love outdoors and nature this is definitely for you.
Nice views, peaceful atmosphere.
Complete relaxation and peace. Loved every second of my stay. All that was missing was a mini diffuser and essential oils for the room. Then it would have been PERFECT. Highly recommend
We loved the view of the mountains, ang hearing the birds singing. This place is not for someone with knee problems, there are stairs for getting anywhere.
Sounds of the jungle - such music!
Property was nice.
This property was a once in a lifetime experience. My mom and I enjoyed the silence and nature. Although it was a trek getting to and from the airport, it was worth it. The town of Utuado was so special and the staff at Case Grande were phenomenal.
Fantastic calming getaway in the Puerto Rican mountains above Utuado. Stayed for two nights, enjoyed the food and hiking trails, hospitality was excellent. Loved exploring more of what the island has to offer. Will definitely return for another visit.
Needs updating, should include at least a fruit and bread for complimentary breakfast. Dinner menu was the same every day. Nice panoramic scenery!!
Great food, breathtaking views, peace and quiet
The setting is lovely. We had a great time, with one exception. The restaurant was subpar compared to what it used to be. The “Catch of the Day” was straight out of a Costco or Sam’s bag and was flavorless and tough. The pasta was essentially right out of a Ragu container with some decorative sprinklings on top. The plantains were straight out of a Goya bag. What a disappointment the food was, but otherwise a nice experience.
Truly memorable! The vibe is relaxation and connection to nature. The staff is helpful and attentive. The food is yummy, locally sourced and very fresh. The mountain views are amazing! Beautiful gardens, nice hiking paths. We loved it! 💜
It was nice and quiet but their website is outdated and they need to be transparent, they should make guests aware there no a/c. My husband sufferers from allergies and with no a/c it made it worse
Very beautiful and peaceful
This is a nice place. Very clean, very peaceful, very simple. Go to rest in the midst of a verdant forest. Two nights was perfect for us and justified the long, winding drive from San Juan. Overall, the food is very good and very inexpensive. The menu is limited and gets repetitious, but, hey, we’re in the middle of a forest pretty far from civilization. We think the kitchen does amazing work. How delightful it was to sit under cover on the veranda during a warm rainstorm just reading our books and feeling brilliant for escaping the frigid temperatures at home.
This place is a lovely tranquil escape in the mountains. I don’t think public transportations would get you there. To us was essential to get a car there and driving experience on curvy, narrow roads helps. Good news is that the paved roads are in great condition. The hotel has a cozy, luxury-glamping (with an addition to your own bathroom). Our room was simple and clean. Bathroom was clean and with great water pressure, though the shower space itself was tight. No fridge in the room and you’ll be at mercy of the hotel’s restaurant for food, if you don’t want to drive around 30 minutes to Utuado.good thing is the hotel’s complimentary coffee, tea, and water that were always available in the lobby. The room walls are very thin and you could even hear conversations of the next door. Staff stared chatting in the laundry bellow our room pretty early and woke us up. Breakfast some days are self-serve and some are a la cart. We had one day a a la cart and it was okay. We also had diner one day which was good. Their food is vegetarian and vegan and dinner required reservations the day we were there. We loved going to Utuado and experience the city’s local food. The highlight? The porch hammock and the magical nighttime sounds of coquí frogs and crickets—so relaxing! No bugs inside, but some small droppings in the morning (expected in nature). The well-kept pool looked inviting, though we didn’t use it. Overall, a peaceful stay—I’d definitely return for the serenity!
This is a beautiful place to get away from it all. From the well-manucured and wonderfully landscaped grounds, to the comfy rooms, to the pool, every inch is surrounded by nature. The staff was quite friendly. Breakfast (a special holiday weekend buffet) was outstanding. (Dinner was plainer and a tad small.) Well worth the time to get there!
Beautiful place all around. Great food. Will be back for sure.
Definitely need a rental car to get to this beautiful retreat in the mountains. I think it’s a yoga retreat, they’re supposed to offer free yoga daily but they did not have that available when we went. Not handicap accessible, large steep hills and high steps, but well planned with motion sensored lights. Each room has private deck with hammock which is nice, but actually there were more guests than I anticipated (was expecting more quiet/sounds of nature) and quarters were close so you could hear sounds travel sharply making it feel like people talking down the path were right next to you. Lots of international guests, lovely to hear different languages/accents spoken. Rooms/bed were comfortable, screened windows, soap/shampoo/conditioner provided, robes and pool towels provided. Small store with essentials in the main house. Too cold to use the pool on our trip in February and colder than expected overnight, almost asked for an extra blanket but instead I just wore more layers to sleep. Rain is likely so prepare with long sleeves/sweatshirt, a rain jacket and shoes/sandals that easily wash off mud, especially if you go hiking in the area. We didn’t do the walking paths on site, they sounded short/easy and we’re more adventure driven. Instead we did an AirBnB experience to Tanamá River ~1 hour of slow driving to get there. Roads are extremely hilly and curvy so take caution. This is the kind of place you’re not frequently leaving to visit other local places once you arrive…it IS the place. That said, you probably want to bring books, music, games etc to fill your time while you relax. It also means their plant based restaurant is the most convenient option and you’ll be having most/all meals there. They charge regular a la carte but seems like an all inclusive option could be useful. Major downside for me with a nut allergy is that almost every menu item for every meal had nuts in it. The nut-free solution offered: the salad with a nut vinaigrette was offered dry because they did not have any other dressing on site…to me this was not an exciting or satisfactory alternative. Ended up leaving early without breakfast because there wasn’t enough nut free food for me. I don’t have a problem with the vegetarian options but after a few meals over a couple consecutive days, i probably would want meat. Overall accommodations were nice but with the yoga canceled, the weather too cold for the pool and the restaurant problem, i definitely felt I overpaid for my stay.
I love this resort. Beautiful location, good food, comfortable rooms, very peaceful. The only things that prevented me giving 5 stars is that in the 4 days we stayed the pool was closed one day, and the yoga class canceled another.
Casa Grande was a wonderful retreat and perfect for recharging. The pool is spring fed and delightful. The yoga teacher was excellent and a great masseuse. The property is not really close to restaurants (about 25 minutes) but the restaurant on site was delicious and reasonably priced. I'd love to go back.
Stunning views, delicious food, friendly staff. Great place to disconnect and renew your energy. Great cichlid fishing walking distance. Get a massage it will change you. We loved our stay here and would definitely return. Driving there can be tricky but if you follow the hotels directions you will be just fine.
This is a retreat and lives up to the name, so be prepared for an experiential stay. The area is beautiful. It is in the Rain Forrest similar to a country or mountainous town in the U.S., so at night you'll hear tree frogs and nature. They offer yoga in the mornings but I unfortunately had to leave before that time. There's a restaurant at the facility that is vegetarian or vegan so be prepared for eating delicious meat free dishes. Again, the meals served are really good. I wish we could have stayed longer was my only issue. The staffs amazing and the room is gorgeous!
This was truly an escape from all things busy! Beautiful rooms, facilities and grounds. Nice hiking trails, refreshing pool with rooms that you want to melt away in. Wonderful food and service.
I'm absolutely thrilled with this incredible retreat! I was seeking a serene escape to reconnect with nature and myself, and this place exceeded all expectations. The tranquil surroundings, complete with a soothing river and scenic hiking trails, provided the perfect setting for introspection and rejuvenation. The yoga and spiritual activities were a wonderful bonus, infusing me with renewed energy and vitality.
My stay was amazing and so peaceful. The drive there was easy and the directions the hotel gives you are spot on. The only thing I would say is the food was ok. It is vegan food only. Other than that loved the place.
A nice retreat for peace and quiet. Wonderful massage. The yoga class and dining experience leave much to be desired.
Truly a nice, quiet retreat. Traveling there was an adventure because the roads are not all marked & tough to navigate, but it was worth it to finally get to the property & relax. Be sure to pack repellent, cool pajamas since there’s no a/c, walking shoes, & a rain jacket.
We had an absolutely amazing time, it was so much better than we expected. The surrounding area is gorgeous. Swimming in the river was super fun, the pool was clean, the staff were nice, and the food wasn’t all that bad. The only complaint I really have is the lack of protein in the food, and also it’s quite pricey.
This mountain retreat was a beautiful place to stay with hiking trails. One trail lead to a waterfall and swimming area, while the other lead into the wooded hills. Beautiful plants on the trails and the grounds. Fun to photograph and identify. The food was delicious and well prepared. I also enjoyed the yoga classes and pool. The room had screened louvered windows which let in a great breeze and the landscaping made it seem like we were in a private jungle treehouse.
Casa Grande has simple, but quiet and comfortable rooms. The property is surrounded by rainforest and the restaurant is great.
To remote for us. Yoga. Short hikes and pool that’s it. Nature and you. Hotel Restaurant selection was pretty sparse so was the room. Nothing around within a radius of an hour were you could eat at. Glamping I would call it. Didn’t really felt save. When we asked for the advertised spa we got a perplexed look and the question what spa? Overall lots of nature but not as advertised. Falls short of expectations.
The food was delicious and healthy 😋
Vertly peaceful, i was relaxed the whole stay.
Beautiful!
Lugar tranquilo como para descansar.
A great place to truly unwind, be humbled and appreciate nature .this is truly a place for healing the mind and body as well as get to mingle with a few of the locals . People in surrounding areas were fun and welcoming the weekend yoga sessions were very fun and relaxing. The retreat is plant based so if you’re not familiar with vegan food I suggest giving it a try . If it doesn’t fancy you a 15-20 min drive into town you will find all you need . The staff was very helpful and informative and took very good care of us . I can’t wait to return next year . Thank you again !!
Such a gem nestled in the heart of the mountains! The river and falls are an amazing adventure. Be sure you visit Cañón Blanco while you are there! It’s a beautiful spot to just enjoy and meditate on the nature of the landscape. The food is vegetarian and the only thing I could think of is it would be nice if the menu had a little more options. But the meals were amazing. The staff at this place is great and the property itself is just magical. Be sure if you come to pack some drinks and snacks if you’re looking for something extra after the meals. I loved the fact that you could hear the river while you were in your room. Be sure if you do go to use Maps instead of Google maps. You will get there quicker!😉
Very quiet and relaxing. Needs more menu options for meat eaters. Alcohol is options would be nice.
Loved ot
Es el lugar perfecto para un detox emocional .
Other than the hammock which was very dusty which is understandable being outdoors the rest of the facilites were clean and in order. Mosquitoes repellent highly recommended for all outdoors activities. The food is all vegan and excellent especially the breakfast options whether you are vegan or not. Very tasty. Yoga classes which are free are fantastic especially if you are a beginner.
Amazing!
Unique and peaceful resort. Unexpected beauty in the mountains. Vegan cafe was creative and filling.
Our overall experience was great. The staff are friendly and helpful the optional meals were excellent, and the setting is beautiful. We enjoyed the hiking trails on the property and the pool. Be aware: the rooms are not air conditioned. The rooms have screened windows and a ceiling fan, which we found to be adequate in mid-June.
A MUST SEE in the mountains of Puerto Rico. We absolutely loved our stay at Casa Grande. This boutique retreat is nesled in the interior mountains with eye popping vista's at every glance. The staff, especially Jeff, is very accomodating and helpful. The food is spectacular. The property is stunningly landscaped with tropicals at every turn. Yoga and a spa on site as well. There are also absolutely stunning hikes right there on the property...including a spectacular river and waterfall. A short drive away is a huge lake that reminded us of being in Lake Como italy. Also, we came in June and had ZERO issue with the no A/C's in the rooms. Because you're in the mountains, it stays cool. We didn't want to leave and absolutely will be back for an extended stay.
Excellent
Beautiful unique retreat.. the roads were rough getting there in the rain but I made it and never thought about pulling out of the parking lot until checkout. Beautiful pool. Nature. Waterfall areas. Vegan restaurant smelled good, but I opted for more time exploring the grounds.

Beautiful and quiet! Love the contact with the nature, river, beautiful gardens and bohemian theme. Is like a temple inside the beautiful mountains of Puerto Rico. No WIFi, no TV or any distraction, just you and the beautiful nature. Love it!!!
Wonderful area! Stayed at this location 32 years ago under different ownership. It's still wonderful and even improved in many ways. Loved it. Hope to come again.
Amazing place to disconnect from the city and connect with nature. We took the complimentary spa class during the morning and it was a very good way to start the day. Right next to the hotel there is river which to get you have make a little hike but definitely worth it. The pool on the complex was very and also the breakfast. Everything is vegan so if you are looking for more variety you might have to out.
Loved the secluded location, lovely pool, friendly stay. Make sure you walk to the waterfall and swim in the river below.
Perfect place if you want quiet and peace away from the world
Off the beaten path. Wonderful staff and a great property. Just something different that will make you smile.
Very peaceful place
Nice hotel beautiful setting very relaxing
The best service from the kindest folks. this place is a gem. beautiful, quiet, and great food
Delicious vegan food.
Been visiting PR for 45 years & overnight Casa Grande is now our favorite location on the entire Country/Island. Magical Paradise surroundings & each & every member "felt" like they came down from Heaven to serve us. The breakfast hours slip into almost early afternoon & covers early & late raisers. The food was unique & well above average. Coming back! Will return! Special thanks to all employees Especially Keti w her incredible attention to the present.
Amazing location. Quiet, restorative. Absolutely beautiful place. Great vegan food. Yoga, meditation, and massage options. Best retreat ever. Even on a rainy day one can hang out on large veranda or on porch of private units. Highly recommended. Great service. Wonderful healthy whole food.
Love love love love love!
Beautiful mountain scenery with nicely paved roads to the resort and to area sites of interest. The staff rotates seasonally. All were super friendly. The dinners are vegan and pricey, The dinner menu has 3 entrees and does not change except a few times a year. Be aware that Google Maps and Waze both tried to take us onto some unnecessary “short-cuts” through some sketchy lizard trails.
Beautiful property. The food prepared by Deigo was amazing. The rooms overlooking the valley are light and have amazing views from the decks. We were switched to a back facing room for our last night which was fine but a bit musty smelling and no real views. Yoga in the morning is great although instructor was a beginner that has yet to find her rhythm. Overall a wonderful stay and place. Would go back.
Okay so everything here is beautiful around the resort, the fresh spring pool, the scenery, everything is breathtaking with the mountains and secluded remote stay, my only complaint is everything is modern here except the rooms themselves , they haven’t been updated in about 30 years , only complaint while staying, and the bathroom wasn’t super clean but for the price you pay I guess it reflects , warning they only have vegan food but thankfully there is great food choices around otherwise being snacks. All in all 8/10 I would say for the price point it’s great.
What a beautiful location surrounded by jungle! Isolated and quiet, but with many natural and cultural attractions within convenient driving distance. The staff was super-friendly, and the vegetarian dining experience was terrific! Comfortable beds and nice showers.
From start to finish a wonderful stay. All of the staff were warm & welcoming. Relaxing is an understatement. Everything was so chill. The food was delicious. The inn in situated in a beautiful location. Guests should know that the drive up to the inn can be a bit challenging. They should be prepared to eat their meals at the Inn. That is a treat, not a problem. Overall a wonderful stay.
So I found this hidden gem in Utuado Pro’s Mountain cabins with the most amazing view, breezy night (natural air no AC) listening to the coqui’s, the birds chirping, smelling the mountain rain, the beds are so comfy and clean, hammock read a book moment, no tv which was nice! We tried the Vegan Menu very tasty so no lechón here. Hiking Trails to the river, rocks , and waterfalls. The Staff was very friendly my kinda peeps just down to earth cool… Complimentary yoga with Boho Style decor, top it off with Cristina the best of best rain forest morning with a pressure point relaxation massage. A Quick Getaway!! Con’s Must drive safely - (daylight) mountain traffic is to vomit. Not much to do around so be prepared to relax No meat only Vegan 🌱 Wine 🍷 most affordable glass is $17 to $19 but perfect for the scenery and future stay don’t get cabin #1 or 2 , come prepared with non slip shoes for hiking otherwise if you catch a special price on the rooms it is so worth it.. A MUST RETURN!
Very beautiful place quiet and very friendly All employees.
Great place to stay and cleanse yourself! The staff are amazing, and the food is good. Take advantage of the yoga class.
Its in a very special area, in kind of a small valley in the mountains, all room have beutiful pool. The staff are very friendly and helpful. There is a free yoga class at 8 and kind of a meal plan to purchase. Great wine selection. Great place.
Wonderful place! Terrific views, excellent accommodations, awesome staff!
This is a wonderful place to escape from the modern world. No WiFi or TV (cell will work). It is peaceful, surrounded by the most incredible nature, and has a great staff of people. A complimentary yoga class in the morning and an innovative, truly delicious, plant-based kitchen rounds out a memorable experience.
I was hesitant as first, thought I might be bored, maybe a little too hippy for me but it was amazing. The views, food, yoga and the pool were awesome. I will have to come back here again, stay longer to unwind and just relax.
We absolutely loved the vibe and welcoming atmosphere! The food was amazing and yoga was exactly what we needed with a fantastic instructor, Christine! Thank you so much for a much needed relaxing getaway!
This retreat was absolutely BEAUTIFUL, it felt great to disconnect and have some me time. I suggest taking advantage of the complimentary yoga The instructor is great and accommodated the stretches as I have a torn rotator cuff. The food was great! And the staff was very welcoming and friendly. I highly recommended this retreat. The mountain views are very beautiful and seen a few rainbows over the mountains!! The only issue i had was trying to get there our GPS sent us through the OLD route and since it was raining pretty heavily it was very dangerous to cross the tiny path to get through as the river was to the very top! And the old route was not so great to drive through after the hurricanes had happened. It wasnt until we reached the retreat that I received better directions on how to get back safely thanks to the staff! I look forward to staying there again and enjoying a longer stay next time. I wish i had stayed longer!
WOW! Still floating from our weekend at Casa Grande. We stayed April 20th-23rd. There are no pictures or words to express the power, the energy, and the love of this mountain getaway! Diego and Tanama are the young couple who run the retreat and make you feel like you are part of the Casa Grande family. We decided to do everything that Casa Grande had to offer, starting with partner yoga, daily morning yoga, Ayurvedic consultation and cooking class, and the couples massage. And let’s not forget the super refreshing pool in the afternoon after hiking the stewardship forest which happens to be in the backyard. And THE FOOD!!! Plant based with deep flavors, beautifully presented, and created with a heart felt effort! There is so much to do in the surrounding areas, but we chose to spend our free time on our porch hammock enjoying the bird symphony and the views of the green powerful mountain. The temperature during the day was perfect and the nights were cool and great for incredible sleep. If you are looking for a restful, restorative, invigorating, and loving experience just book it! And do all they have to offer on property. Casa Grande Mountain retreat will renew your soul!

A place to relax and recharge. I did not think that a hostel like this existed in PR. I am not vegan but the menu was exquisite.
