*** Slap af ..., Venture eller begge!***

The location was exactly what I was looking for. They made sure we had everything we needed. We were there for a week and I was a little sad to be going.

The place is beautiful love the scenery it’s walk in ready Jose is a great host he will tell you where to get the greatest food and where to purchase groceries 45 minutes from anywhere you need to goJust now roads are curvy and you will need a rental car

Awesome

If you are looking for a place to stay that is squeaky clean, sanitized, and American, then stay at a Hilton in San Juan. If you'd prefer an experience that gives you more of a taste of real life in Puerto Rico, this is it! Jose is a fantastic host--so kind and helpful. He drove us around all the local sites, and took us twice to go kayaking at the nearby lake. He was always available to help us out, whether with something on the property, with directions, or advice. His family was super nice as well.

A few things that might be helpful:

Since this home is away from tourist-y San Juan, some knowledge of Spanish is not required but certainly helps. Jose is thoroughly bilingual but most people around there are Spanish-speaking only.

If you have a phobia of chickens you might not like this place as much. Our constant companion in the daylight hours was Paco, a very friendly rooster, who woke us each morning and loved to hang out with us and beg for food. We enjoyed him a lot, but if that's not your thing....

You definitely need to rent a car. We rented a Toyota RAV4 from Enterprise, which was fine for 5 adults. Handled all the hills and curves no problem!

The people of the Naranjito area, and all over the island, impressed us with their friendliness and kindness. Even with the language challenges, we could communicate using a combination of broken Spanish, broken English, and pantomime--mainly because the locals were so patient and willing to help.

Thank you so much, Jose and Raquel, for sharing your home with us! We are so grateful for a wonderful experience. Dios bendiga!
