We found TJ Ranch online because we were searching for a place to stay near Utuado due to the fact that we had booked an adventure ziplining tour there. We originally found another place to stay but it was all booked up. The lady who owned the B&B recommended that we try to see if TJ Ranch had any openings.... More

Thank you Ariel for your wonderful review, but I do want to clarify one thing. I thought I had made a mistake with your food bill of $80. You and Phillip shared a one and half (11/2) pound porterhouse steak: $35 3 glasses of wine 21 mojito 6 flan 3.50 ___________ $65.50 tax 4.50 ___________ $70.00 tip 10.00 __________ $80.00 More

This small Puerto Rico jungle hideaway is one of the gems of Puerto Rico. Nestled in the rugged highland jungle of central Puerto Rico, TJ's was a fine spot for my family to slow down, relax, enjoy the pool, the sun, the cottages , the quiet, the nature, and the superb quality food prepared by Tony the master chef.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed or stay at the TJ Ranch! Situated up in the hilly rainforest area, we had the pleasure of being serenaded by the area's Coqui frogs each evening. Very cool indeed! We also had several occasions to see the little guys up close and personal! Tony's cooking was superb - be sure to try the... More

Tony and Juanita were awesome hosts. We felt welcome from the moment we arrived! As Tony said, "Mi casa es su casa" and he really meant it. The food ... well, what can I say about Tony's creations that everyone else hasn't? Each meal was just superb. Tony managed to create mouthwatering masterpieces that everyone in the family enjoyed. Even... More

TJ Ranch is hidden in an amazing little spot in the middle of a rainforest. Tony& Juanita gave us a very warm welcome, and we were soon settled into a very cozy casita. After a special welcome drink, Tony served us a 3 course meal that was simply out of this world. We had specifically asked for vegetarian food, and... More

Juanita and Tony couldn't be any better host! When you stay at TJ Ranch you feel like your staying at a friends house. They are the most accommodating and laid back. The food is incredible and the Cassitas are clean and comfortable. They're little valley is gorgeous and secluded. I was incredibly impressed with they're establishment!

I think any recommendation for this ranch must really consider the needs and expectations of a particular traveler. For those accustomed to AAA-approved hotels, a stay at this ranch may be rather disappointing. For nature-lovers who enjoy places that are a bit rough or rustic, this will seem like a hidden gem. The cabins are very basic: a screened porch... More

TJ Ranch is a great place. The cabinas are perfect, with an indoor-outdoor feel perfect to the location. Very clean and tidy, but with a healthy dose of nature just outside the screens. Beautiful bathroom. The hosts are friendly and pleasant, and the food is very good. The location is spectacular. It feels like a canyon from the U.S. desert... More

My wife and I stayed here in november, 2011. We stayed one night in the green casita, ate our best meal while in PR (I had blackened salmon, my wife had had a shrimp dish). We particularly enjoyed talking to Tony and Joan throughout our stay. We did take a dip in the "hot tub" by the pool at night... More

This fantastic nook is so worth the drive into the tucked away local in the forest!! We loved every minute of our two nights there. Tony and Joan treated us with so much hospitality even before we arrived, as Joan gave a courtesy call to make sure we could find our way in the dark of night. Tony's amazing cooking... More
