My girlfriend and I luckily last minute booked a room (cabin) at TJ Ranch, and boy, were we surprised! It was a great place! The owners couldn't have been nicer, and it reminded me more of vacations with family in Tahoe than any hotel or resort. The cabins are incredibly clean, as is the on-site "restaurant"--which is really more of... More

We found this place listed in Lonely Planet and called them while touring Lago Dos Bocas by boat. Luckily, they had a cabin available for the evening, so we reserved the room and took down the directions (a good idea, since getting there is a bit complicated). After a drive up a twisty mountain road and past some small family... More

Stayed at TJ Ranch for Spring Break 2013 and it was such a welcome change from the overpriced resort we stayed at the few days before. A cool retreat up in the hills of Arecibo that's not too hard to reach and totally worth it. I had seclusion and the amazing sounds of the forest, the kids had their pool... More

We absolutely enjoyed our four night stay! The scenery, the food and the hospitality was fantastic. Tony and Juanita made us feel at home.They definitely are secluded, which adds to the relaxing atmosphere. They were very helpful in the planning of our day trips. We would highly recommend TJ Ranch to other travelers.

We absolutely loved TJ Ranch and Tony and Joan. They are the best hosts, helping to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. The food is terrific. They encouraged us to roam the property, and my husband found ripe bananas and had to have Tony show him how to harvest them, which Tony obliged his whim. They directed us to places... More

The TJRanch is in the hills north east of Lago Dos Bocas, a short drive south from Aricebo. Within the ranch are three spacious and nicely built cabins which are referred to as casitas (little house in Spanish). The T in the name is Tony who is from New Your city and the J is Joan (or Juanita) who is... More

We stayed 3 nights in December while visiting my in-laws in Utuado. The location is amazing - it looks like a scene from Jurassic Park. The grounds are well-landscaped and tucked into a deep green valley. The hospitality was fantastic - such a warm welcome! We managed to find it after dark - the instructions are great, it just feels... More

We immediately knew we had made a mistake not planning to stay longer when we arrived. TJ Ranch is a truly fantastic place. We have two small children, 3yrs and 1yr, we used TJ Ranch as a base to explore the areas around there. Lago Dos Bocas, Parque de las Cavernas del Rio Camuy, Arecibo Observatory, Cueva Ventana, Coffee Plantations... More

When you find yourself tiring of the heat of coastal Puerto Rico and want a cooler break, book a couple of days at TJ Ranch. An oasis of evening coolness, surrounded by a jungle filled with frogs, toads, insects, birds, geckos and all of them carrying on a beautiful, melodic conversation to which you fall asleep. The food is to... More
