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.

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.

The staff on the grounds are incredibly warm and friendly. Yes the rooms are small (be sure you are comfortable with you’re comfortable with your friend/partner), but it is built on an ecologically friendly model from containers and locally owned. There are some issues with humidity as its located in/next to the rainforest, but that’s to be expected

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!!

Grounds were beautiful. Guests should know this is an extremely small room. Too small for our taste. If you have more than one suit case you will be cramped. Room was humid, muggy, and musty. Ac helped but has too get real cold to get moisture out of air. Breakfast is limited too fruit, toast, and waffles.
I love this stay overall !! The place was very peaceful and private

Hotels.com took us to wrong address in dangerous area. Room entry code didn't work. Had to call the service twice. Unmanned facility. Tiny rooms, tiny shower. Property gate didn't always close. Noisy because rooms are so tightly packed together.
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.
We believe it would benefit you to have a little variety for your breakfast. Would also suggest you have a small shelf area in the breakfast room where you put towels so people can swap them out every few days. The shower in Unit six has water coming out of the drain so it doesn't all come out the shower head. The water was never very hot but it was warm. Even with these issues we would stay there again because the staff was so nice.
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!!

The room is tiny like very small the host was not friendly at all she is borderline rude.We had to ask for pillows and covers the first two night I did not get any sleep, when taking a shower the water gets all over the place I spen a lot of time booths flor. The only positive part is that the yard is pretty nice .
