As local residents (well, my husband is from Italy), we are simply astonished by the beauty of this place! You're coming here to leave the city and the everyday touristic stuff behind you, 'cause this is nature in its purest form; the rooms, and the sheets (never seen them whiter) are super super clean; beautiful gardens, fruit trees, singing birds,...

My husband and I were invited to Casa Grande by a good friend, who goes on retreat there regularly as an antidote for his high-stress professional career. It was paradise! The botanical gardens enveloped us with glorious tropical flowers and their lovely perfumes. The mountains wrapped their jungle arms around us, and tucked us in at night to the songs... More

Simply put, this is an amazing place! The highlight of my trip to Puerto Rico was swimming at the base of a waterfall at the end of a nature hike from Casa Grande. Besides this, I loved the following things about the place: *The pool was absolutely the most refreshing that I have ever encountered. *The owner/staff were so pleasant... More

Casa Grande offers some of the most stunning mountain scenery in Puerto Rico. Breakfast and dinner served on the veranda provide stunning views to start and end your day. Other positives the pool is great and the entire staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The food is very good and the best you will find in the area by far. Several... More

Thank you for your review and the overall positive rating. TV and A/C are intentionally absent. We see temporarily disconnecting from the media to be a liberating and positive experience. We prefer the gentle whir of a ceiling fan to the noise and draft of an energy consuming air- conditioner. The internet service is indeed at Caribbean speed but the... More

The setting is a pretty valley. The rooms are very basic and lack privacy. We enjoyed the food. The best part of the stay was lying in bed listening to the sounds of the birds, frogs and river. Getting there is a challenge due to many roads under construction. More

Ok, my Fiancé and I stayed here for the first time and we loved it. It's his first time visiting Puerto Rico and I wanted to give him a bit of us from mountains to beaches and Casa Grande was just the perfect place. The drive didn't bother us like to other people being that I'm from PR and I... More

First stayed here about 20 years ago and it was just as delightful this time as then. It has changed very little, thank goodness. The accommodations are very simple with no TV, radio, or AC, just beds, bath, and a ceiling fan. They are positioned on the hillside with all the wonderful, lush vegetation surrounding them. Probably as close to... More

We picked Casa Grande for a one-night stop en route from San Juan to the Copamarina Resort on the southwest coast. Our guidebook's instructions on how to get there were accurate, but it takes some perserverance -- just when you think you're lost, there is the entrance. It's a very restful and friendly place. My wife especially enjoyed the medium... More

We didn't plan on staying too long but wanted the experience. We showed up after dark and wanted to leave before noon the following morning. The drive to get here was a bit unbearable though :( That's just something you'll have to take in order to get there, there is no easy route in or out. Winding one way roads... More

So glad you enjoyed your stay. Part of the charm and attraction of the retreat is its somewhat remote location. Nearby road 140 was recently repaved near the retreat making the ride a lot easier on travelers and vehicles. We'll look forward to your return for a longer stay. More

Though many people come to Puerto Rico (and with good reason) to enjoy the island's beautiful beaches, to meander through the cobblestone streets of Old San Juan, and to enjoy the great shopping, food, and nightlife, they often forego the option of a relaxing mountain retreat. This is unfortunate because Puerto Rico is, above all, a mountainous island, and some... More
