Casa Cubuy Ecolodge

I don’t normally do reviews but this place is truly special, and a very unique experience. If you are expecting a resort experience, this is not the place for you. However, if you are looking to connect to nature, slow down, and immerse yourself in the views this is definitely the spot. The owners are lovely and the breakfast was top notch. You have access to incredible hiking trails and swimming spots. It is off the beaten path which makes the experience even better, but it is still relatively easy to get down to the grocery, restaurants etc. we will be coming back!

Our family of 3 stayed for 4 nights at Casa Cubuy in December and had the most relaxing time in nature. The room we stayed in was simple yet comfortable and roomy, and had the most magnificent view of the rainforest and waterfalls. Marianne and Matthew were wonderful hosts and gave us great information on the nearby hikes and restaurant recommendations. Breakfast was included everyday and was so delicious. We loved eating all the fresh fruit, porridge, eggs, hash browns, french toast and breakfast burritos. We also did the Birding Before Breakfast tour and Nocturnal Rainforest Walk with Skip during our stay and enjoyed both immensely. We highly recommend Casa Cubuy for anyone looking for a tranquil and relaxing stay in the rainforest away from the crowds.

An excellent experience in the rainforest on the boarder of the National Park, El Yunque. A beautiful breakfast with tropical fruit is served every morning as part of your stay. Hiking trails are a must.

We stayed 2 nights and it was our favorite part of our 10 day trip to Puerto Rico. Lovely breakfast, lovely people. We were in room 3 with a gorgeous view of the rainforest and at night, the stars. My teens spent nearly the whole time in the hammocks. We got up early one day and did a birding walk with Come to Puerto Rico and there were so many seen right outside the door. Walk up the road aways (or drive) and after you get to the El Yunque gate there is a little path to your left to a waterfall swim. Would love to return some day.

This place is pure magic, my favorite location on the entire trip. (Also stayed in San Juan Viejo and Vieques.) The rooms were very nice. Very clean, comfortable bed, nice shower, plenty of towels. The Ecolodge has a very chill vibe, nice common area encourages people to meet and talk, but you could also be private and do your own thing. We met interesting people including hosts and staff. Lots of hammocks for lounging. We had a balcony which was great, but I think any of the rooms would have a good view of the mountains. We saw 3 waterfalls from ours! The real magic begins at night when the coqui and other night creatures start to sing. Also, the short walk down to the river pool was moderately challenging. The pool is spectacular. Bring water shoes and take a little time to enjoy the hammock in a little shelter. The southern entrance to El Yunque is a short drive away. Be sure and go to Noelia's, the restaurant nearby. One of my top two meals in Puerto Rico! If I ever return to Puerto Rico, I'd like to stay at the Ecolodge for at least 4 or 5 nights and leave the world behind.

We absolutely loved our stay at Casa Cubuy Ecolodge! The owner Mary Ann and her son Matthew are very friendly and wonderful people and made us feel right at home. The room and facilities were simple yet clean and very comfortable. Fresh coffee is put out early and breakfast is served at 9am each morning. There is a common area upstairs that includes a sun deck with lounge chairs and a fully equipped kitchen for guests to use. There are also a fridge and freezer for guests to use as well. This is a great option so if you are staying for a couple of days, stop by a supermarket on your way so you can have your own food available. There is also a restaurant 5 mins down the hill named Noelia’s which is a good place to have dinner. The food was good and decently priced, but they only accept cash payments. There are several hiking trails to nearby rivers and waterfalls and the views of the rainforest are breathtaking! I would highly recommend staying here for anyone who enjoys peace and quiet and wants to relax away from the hustle and bustle. We will definitely be back!
