When I tell you that Casa Azul gave my family and I serenity! It did just that. I am a family of 6 and everyone had their own space and privacy. The land that the house sits have meaning to why Dan the owner named it the retreat. I stood for 2 weeks and I miss the house already. You will love your stay! My only issue is: there is only 1 tv throughout the entire home and with adult kids that was a problem. We had to rotate time slots - there was not enough time in the nights. lol but overall this was by far a wonderful experience living on the mountain for 2 weeks. Also the entrance to El Yunque rainforest is in the same direction to the home fascinating.

A big comfortable place, but lots to be desired.

The property is big and comfortable, but it could benefit from a deep cleaning and repairs to make the house up to standards. Also, the directions to the property are great, but you need to read them or download Google maps to get there.

Worth the price and views!

Beautiful home, in a great location if you want to be near the rainforest and nature. Stunning vistas! Close to the beach and town. The roads are a little tricky if you are not used to driving in the mountains.

This property was disgustingly dirty. The pictures are photoshopped and not accurate. The back patio area hasn’t been maintained and the grass is six inches long. Outdoor chairs so dirty. Bathrooms dirty. Kitchen was so dirty we didn’t feel comfortable cooking. Every dish was dirty. I have photos of all it

Lovely rainforest stay

We really enjoyed this vacation house! It was a great location to hike Angelito Trail and the rock slides. The bedrooms were all comfortable, the kitchen had all the supplies we needed, and there was plenty of indoor lounge space for when we were not out and about exploring. We definitely appreciated the detailed driving instructions, as finding it on our first night in Puerto Rico in the dark was not easy! But we got used to the hills and turns by the second day.

Wonderful stay!

We stayed 2 nights. Off the beaten path location but excellent and detailed instructions on how to get there from host. You’re close to whatever you need but it feels more secluded. Property was very clean and well cared for. They provide everything you need! There are even board games for the kids available. The washing machine and dryer were very helpful (there was laundry soap available too)! We didn’t find any fruit in the backyard but the plants were beautiful and our kids really enjoyed exploring the back yard. Would love to stay here again!

Home was very clean and plenty of room for 7 adults.

Homeowner was very friendly and easy to get in touch with. Gave us several list on beaches and restaurants to go to. Loved hearing the sounds of nature and the beautiful landscape at this location. Would definitely love to come back some day. We enjoyed sitting around outside in what looked to be a open garage area and smelling the fresh air and watching all the small creatures around the area. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Loved the secluded area. Very quiet and tranquil. Very spacious and maintained. The place was a great way to spend my mother's 80th birthday with my 5 siblings. Not sure I'll spend it with them again lol but this place was amazing. Love the night time noise.

Spacious house close to many attractions

We were looking forward to finding some avocados like other guests have mentioned in their reviews but unfortunately weren’t able to. We did find a pineapple though. The house is five minutes away from the water slide and 10 minutes away from the Angelito trail head. The recreation area is another 10-15 minutes drive further along. Internet is very stable although there is no cell phone signal. The house would be perfect if there were a dish washer. Fully enjoyed our stay.

Nature retreat.

The property was spacious and met every one of our needs. My mother in law loved the nature aspect of it. The kids experienced the peace that comes with fresh air and adventures at its finest. From picking avocados to sliding down the natural slides in las pailas. We loved every second of it.
