Quebrada Arenas Hotels

"Clean room"

"There truly are no words that would capture the magic of this place. It is up in the mountains of Bayamon. Upon entering, you are greeted by your host—Pedro and Yohandra. They have situated three cabins on their 20+ acre property. The cabins are exceptionally arranged to include a deck overseeing the lush green rainforest mountains, beautiful art work and (I can only speak for the cabin I stayed in), a shower that opens up to the landscape of the rainforest. In the evening you will be entertained by an orchestra of Coqui’s, birds, peacocks and a variety of other insects and creatures that I could not possibly name. Here’s the kicker. If what I have already shared doesn’t have you running to make a reservation, the on-site chef will definitely get you there. Ema is a phenomenal chef. Blending ingredients to create masterfully delicious meals. If they gave Michelin stars in PR, he would have already received several. Add to that, Mama (the owner’s mom). I had the special treat of experiencing a homemade Cuban dessert made by her. Once I tasted her papaya dessert, it’s the one I ordered every day as my evening treat. And what a treat it was. This place is an oasis of tranquility, restoration and peace. Once my husband and I arrived on the property, we did not leave until it was time to go home. Mont Carpe Diem is just what my mind, body and soul needed. I cried as I said my goodbyes to a family that poured love into a soul that was depleted. "

"Love it!! Great location "

"Excellent staff"

"yes!"

"The room looks recently renovated and was clean. This is a motel-style hotel (entering from the outside). Our room was facing the back (beach-side) so it was quiet, only the sound of the waves! We spent 6 nights there and it was secluded with a few places to eat nearby and great views on Old San Juan on the other side of the Bay. However, one absolutely needs a car and it was no problem parking at the hotel. The staff was responsive and courteous. We really enjoyed our stay."

"Everything was perfect"

"Staff were excellent "

"It is a gem inside the Island. Follow the driving directions given by the staff ahead of time for an easy and beautiful drive. Staff attention to the guest is outstanding way beyond the expectations. There is a hiking trail in the property, moderate for non hikers. As a wildlife biologist I enjoyed bird watching during the day and a night walk with UV lights. There would be plenty of Fluorescent items to enjoy, lichens, chlorophyll covered rocks, a few rocks with sphalerite (orange fluorescence) and an incredible blue fluorescent millipede migration from the ground to the tree canopy. If you enjoy wildlife, make sure to pack a uv flashlight (365 nm). There are several mindfulness related activities available upon request for additional fees. Food is excellent, with affordable wines and PR based beers. Each room have a small balcony with an hammock, from where I am writing this review, and it is so relaxing, that I am going to get a nap."
