My wife and I stayed 4 nights (the duration of our trip) and were treated like family in incredible rain forest surroundings. There is a nice pool and breath-taking views of both the ocean and rain forest. La Paloma is off the beaten path and more likely suited for those with a slightly more adventurous spirit. You can get a true Puerto Rican experience here.

Thank you Nilda for a wonderful place to stay and treating us like family! - Chris & Ashley.

I have to admit that upon arrival we were a bit nervous... the house looks fairly run down from the road, and the room wasn't as clean as you would expect a hotel to be. BUT don't think of it as a hotel (and it's CHEAP at $65/night!)... think of it as visiting a long lost family member. The hostess is incredibly friendly (maybe too much so if you are shy!), and greeted us with hugs and excitement. She found a coqui frog for us to see and touch, and that became a very important part of our trip, we loved hearing the frogs sing at night and our 1.5 yr old loved them so much he was saying 'ko-kee' the whole trip! She made us incredibly yummy traditional breakfasts and she is a wealth of knowledge about the Taino Indians and the area. We found the bed comfortable, and the pool was great. Kitchen was lacking in utensils/cookware. Her grandson was so excited to see us and our little one and he played with him lots. We gave the grandson a few little toys and it may as well have been Xmas morning, he was so happy and grateful! Nilda very much appreciated our business and was happy to have us. It really is like you are staying with long lost family.

We booked just one night during our first, 8-day, trip to the island. It is in the mountains at Ceiba, off the tourist path, but only about 15 minutes from the main coastal highway, with amazing jungle views along the route. A separate building with only 2 guest rooms, it was privqte but like staying in a home. Host Nilda was friendly, informative and a good cook (for breakfast). Our room was large with a full kitchen big bed, and craftsman construction features - comfortable and one-of-a-kind. A large pool is right at your door. $65 per night was a very nice deal. With a rental car the trip was a perfect final two days, very near the El Yunque (run by US National Park Service) region. Your hostess is a wealth of knowledge about the history and origins of people in the region - her home is like a mini-museum. Small suggestions -- call directly for a reservation (787) 885-4040 or her cell (787) 435-1154. Cell reception may be spotty, and a good (free) island tourist map helps get around. A very enjoyable, safe adventure.

I was there for two week loved it very well recommended. Nice people and great service
