Pick This Place!

Great for a group of 4 friends and family for a week! We cherished our time that we could pop back from adventuring to take a dip in the pool, grab a nap, or just hangout and look at the rainforest. We spent a whole afternoon and evening just hanging out in the pool and enjoying cocktails and beer by the pool under the outdoor kitchen with one of the best views in Puerto Rico. By night you’re surrounded by the coqui frogs and insects singing. The kitchen and living room doesn’t have AC but the fan is superb and keeps you cool. The AC units in the bedrooms were perfect and kept us comfortable!

Beautiful view

Cozy and good Communication with host. Only thing the ceiling fans were dusty so we couldn’t use them and my allergies were a bit bad with the AC on. Other than that everything was 👍 great!

Wow! What a great location!

We had previously stayed on a beach in San Juan for a friend's wedding. This visit was our 10 year anniversary and we were coming with our kids and I wanted it to be memorable. This place was perfect. It's in the hills, close to El Yunque. The pool and the views at night were amazing. We especially just loved the sounds of the chirping at night. It was just a 30 minute drive to the beach or the rainforest. The house did not have central air (I didn't expect that it did), but both bedrooms have controllable air conditioners that make sleeping very comfortable. We were able to use their beach chairs and cooler on our trips out. We had the best time on this trip, and this house was a great part of it. I will mention along with others that the narrow, wind-y roads were terrifying for me, but my husband found them fun once he got used to driving on them :) Again, in the evenings while driving, roll down your windows, the sound of the jungle is amazing.

Great Stay at Pancho’s Paradise

Loved this property! The view was amazing and the pool area was stunning. House was super clean and had everything you could possibly need. It’s a little bit of a wild drive to get up to it, so be prepared for that. There is a colmada about 5 minutes away for drinks, ice cream and snacks, but otherwise, make sure you bring your food. We loved it here, hosts were super friendly, and hanging out with Pancho was really cool. We would highly recommend staying at Pancho’s Paradise.

Great place for family!!

We loved, loved this house, location, and vacation in Puerto Rico!! The rainforest sounds were amazing (we used white noise on our phones at night), the outdoor laundry-with-a-view was a surprisingly pleasant way of doing such a mundane task, and the pool and Pancho (the VRBO “mascot”/pet added to the overall great experience. Owners were very responsive and helpful and friendly. Also had a very healthy respect for privacy/boundaries during our stay. Would highly recommend (we stayed here with 5 kids ages 9-17 and had plenty of space and beds.
