We are situated between the mountains & Caribbean Sea, embrace the beauty of the El Yunque Rainforest in Naguabo, PR. Formally Hacienda Moyano, we have 4 acres of palm trees, 28 fruits growing wildly, and walking paths throughout. A crystal clear inground pool and gazebos make outdoor life comfortable. Take a trip to sandy beaches, or sip on Rum and watch the sunset. Rest well in our large renovated studios with bathroom, AC, and kitchenette. Each room has a big porch with breathtaking views.

Unplug, relax, and enjoy all the tranquility paradise has to offer. We do not have WiFi available. There is cell coverage here with the majority of carriers.

Parking is free and right in front of our Lodge. The property is enclosed and gated.

Grocery stores and gas stations are 5 mins away. Beaches are 10 mins away. There are many amazing restaurants within a 10 minute drive.

* Occasionally there are power outages in Puerto Rico, it is part of life here. Each room is equipped with battery powered lantern in case of an outage. We do have generators and will start them if needed (Because of the inflation of gas prices, if the power goes out in the middle of the night, they will not be turned on until the morning).

* You will be IN the Rainforest staying here - there are bugs. Our rooms are meticulously cleaned yet occasionally bugs find their way in.

* There are no laundry facilities available on site but there is a drop off and self serve laundry nearby called "Wash and Post". feel free to reach out for information on this.

Great experience!

We loved the experience of this place-- listening to the coqui frogs at night, watching the rain on the trees from the balcony, exploring fruit trees on the property, cooking and dinner in the outdoor kitchen, and swimming in the pool. The hosts were proactive and set us up for an excellent stay. I appreciate their attention to detail. Thank you!

Hidden gem of tranquility and beauty in PR’s rainforest

The two nights we had at the tropical rainforest retreat were the highlight of our week in PR. The gorgeous lodge is located on a hill in a lush rainforest with views of the ocean in the distance. It’s an amazing place to relax, explore nearby waterfalls and watering holes, and a nearby local town on the water. Tonya was the perfect host and helpful with advice and support. .

Amazing Stay in the Rainforest

We had a great stay. Property was very clean and the pool is amazing. Tonya, the owner, was responsive to all of our questions. Air conditioning worked great, which is needed in the humid rainforest. My kids enjoyed the meal we cooked in the community kitchen. Great spot!

I can’t even put into words how amazing this place is. Tonya was great to work with - sent very detailed information and was quick to respond. The grounds are absolutely beautiful to walk around, room was clean and spacious, the outdoor kitchen was perfect - well stocked with pots, pans, etc. We went to the store about 10 minutes away and just grilled the whole time. The pool was huge, the view incredible, I didn’t want to leave! We are already planning our next trip back. Thank you so much Tonya, this was the highlight of our trip!

Breathtaking views of the rain forest!

Just book it! It is absolutely incredible! I can’t begin to explain how amazing this vrbo is! We came with our 3 teenagers. The property has a path to explore the natural beauty of fruit trees, a stream and then sit in the gazebo to enjoy morning coffee. Pool is huge! The family kitchen we cooked in, played games on the large kitchen table, enjoyed the fresh picked bananas and just took in the tranquility all around us. In the morning open your balcony french doors to take in the fresh air and sit on the patio to look out into the rainforest. Close to beaches, rain forest, boardwalks. Host is quick to respond to any questions and very welcoming. Loved the coffee and snacks that awaited us when we arrived. Rooms clean and spacious. Thank you Tonya for the incredible stay!

Magical nature escape!!

I can’t say enough about the beauty of the location and the thoughtful accommodations! The sounds of the forest, the views, the huge room and comfortable beds! Hosts and staff took the time to talk to us and were exceptionally courteous. The nights of sleeping there with the windows open, listening to the sounds of the forest and an occasionally rain is something that can’t be put to words, very hard to leave.., thank you!

Gorgeous lodge in the jungle

This property is so quaint and clean. Despite its relatively remote location we went to dinner, beaches and hiked to a waterfall all within 15 minutes. The estate is so peaceful and the room was simple and clean, and we enjoyed our time here very much.

We loved our stay!

We stayed here in Dec 2022. We had a six day trip to Puerto Rico, 2 days in San Juan, 2 days here and 2 days by the beach. Staying here on the edge of the rainforest was definitely our highlight. The property is amazing, we got to see the bananas growing and had some freshly picked passion fruit. We enjoyed cooking in the outdoor kitchen. This stay felt off the beaten track a bit and would definitely recommend it. The hosts were very friendly and helpful.

Lovely and lush retreat

My husband and I, both in our mid-sixties, enjoyed a fabulous two-night stay at this amazing place. We loved the location in the rainforest and enjoyed all the wonderful amenities on the property. I cannot think of anything to improve on this amazing place, our stay was perfect and Tonya was an excellent host. We loved the view, basket of goodies and drinks, use of the kitchen, the huge swimming pool, and the use of beach chairs. I highly recommend this VRBO. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Exploring E PR/Great hosts

This property is accurately described and photographed. It is also known as The Kineo Center. The owners are very friendly and helpful. The host a very well organized property Our room, #6, was very clean, beds comfortable with nice sheets. Mini fridge and microwave in room were very handy. Hot water for showering, plush towels. There is a welcome basket of water, local coffee, and snacks to greet you in the room. Outside seating overlooking the pool and hillside was a great spot for morning coffee. Our favorite spot for a glass of wine was the screened gazebo next to the small river. So peaceful and lush. Beach chairs, towels and umbrella are in the room for your use. There is a COMMON use open kitchen. This arrangement sounded a bit awkward at first but we loved it! Sign up for a 2hr window. There are common staples for use in a pantry and fridge. Anything special of your own is kept in a sealed container labeled with your room number. Nice table and chairs for dining in the open air under a roof, while listening to the coquis and a Puerto Rican Owl! We explored the coastal natural areas and from this central location. We would stay here again and recommend it to others.

This studio was clean with easy access. Parking right in front of the unit. A welcome snack basket awaited us along filtered water. A nicely put together booklet outlining rules and area info with recommendations. The water pressure was great. Nice grounds to explore. Large community pool and outdoor kitchen area. The coqui are LOUD as your in the rainforet this is expected, after closing doors and windows and turning on the AC it was drown out. We really had a lovely stay here. They do a nice job on this property. I would stay again.

Beautiful, relaxing stay in Naguabo

Tonya's property on the outskirts of El Yunque is tranquil and beautiful. It was perfect for our family. We booked three rooms and were the only guests on the property during our stay which made it extra special. The rooms were newly remodeled, with nice linens and seating areas. Everything was clean and very comfortable. We cooked both nights and enjoyed the sound of coquis and birds. The grounds are gorgeous and you can see the care that Tonya and her family are putting into the property!
