My husband and I had the privilege of spending two glorious days and nights in Yuquiyú just as it reopened from a long post-hurricane hiatus. Martin was wonderfully accommodating during the booking process, and kept us up to date with everything going on at the property in the weeks before our visit. He sent many recommendations of things to see and do, and was always very helpful with any questions I had.
When we finally got there, we felt instantly at peace. Martin, Javier, and sweet Amor (friendly little dog) warmly welcomed us and escorted us to La Cascada. The treehouse and the grounds were stunningly beautiful. While remnants of the hurricane could still be seen, it was beautiful to see new life pushing up everywhere. We had everything we needed and more in our cabin, and felt spoiled by the amazing local products left for us — figs, cashews, hibiscus, lemongrass, coconut milk, lemonade, avocado, banana, pineapple, and more. We had full electricity and hot running water — and one of the best views we’ve ever had!
We slept with the patio doors open both nights to enjoy the beautiful light of the full moon and the sounds of the coquí and the river down below. We explored the grounds and relaxed by the river on our last morning. We didn’t want to leave!
This was a surprise trip for my husband’s 30th birthday. We travel a lot, and we agree that Yuquiyú is one of the most special places we have been in the world. Thank you for this beautiful experience. We hope to be back.
