We stayed here for two nights on January 20 and truly loved it. We arrived to a very sweet villa, upon entering: soft music playing a variety of cute light fixtures lit, clean and floral scents, and colorful Caribbean eclectic decor. The floor is made of large interesting tiles. It has an open air screened window looking out on your... More

We just returned from 4 nights at Carole's. Our days were spent exploring the beaches and rainforest and our evenings were spent looking out at the sea from Carole's outdoor kitchen . Carole does everything she can to make you feel welcome . She knows the area so well and can provide helpful hints about everything. We loved El Verde... More

We went to stay with Carole for our honeymoon and it was absolutely amazing! She was so warm and gracious and she did so many wonderful things to make our stay cozy. The room was super cute and we loved looking out the window at the view of the rainforest. The foliage was glorious and having a font-row view from... More

My daughter and I stayed with Carol last April. The view is beautiful and from the top of the mountain. You are serenaded by the frogs at night and see both the ocean the forest from her fabulous outdoor kitchen. The first day we were there, Carol made us one of her famous bananas smoothies from fresh bananas and using... More

Very beautyful place at the border of the El Yunque Rainforest Park. Carole, the owner, is a very nice person and you can find everything you need in the bedroom she offers. You can use the outside kitchen looking in a very beautyful tropical yard. The perfect place if you like to stay in the middle of the nature. Near... More

In a word, paradise. Upon arrival, we met Carole tending to her blooming backyard full of ginger and bananas. There is a pool out there somewhere swallowed by the jungle. Say hi to Carole and Sabana for us if you go, and enjoy cooking up breakfast in your own private outdoor kitchen with one of the nicest people you'll ever... More

We recently stayed 2 nights in Carole's villa and it was just what we wanted. It is right up in the rainforest - the last house before the national park starts. It's quite a drive to get up there but SO worth it. Carole was wonderful - warm, welcoming, and her dog is a sweetie too. The villa is just... More

My wife and I returned recently from one week spent in paradise. As you can see in the other reviews, only good can be said about Carole's Rainforest Villas. We arrived from the airport well after dark, and climbing the mountain road in the dark for the first time was an unforgettable experience. When we finally came upon the gate... More

She was very responsive and helpful during the month leading up to our trip with recommendations of activities, restaurants, directions etc. She also makes a killer... More
