Womderful stay at a great home with the best host ever!
The Hippie Chalet was a delightful stay in the heart of PR! It was close to everything but far enough away from the craziness of the San Juan metro area that we were able to relax. It was nice to have room and a pleasant personal space. I cannot speak highly enough of our wonderful host Carola! She truly went above and beyond to ensure my graduates (and me!) felt special and enjoyed this trip to the fullest! The girls loved the beautifully decorated space, the amenities available to us to use such as the chairs and the close proximity to beaches. I loved the security of having a gated living space with private parking, the proactiveness and quick responses of our amazing host anytime I reached out and the lovely places around the home to relax with a good book or glass of wine like the second floor balcony. The bug zappers were a godsend but pack plenty of mosquito repellant to better enjoy the outdoors. Take advantage of the bikes or just walk to the wildlife preserve that is only 5 minute walk from the Chalet! There is beach access a short bike ride from the home but some of the most beautiful beaches are a quick 10-20 min trip by car—recommend going early to secure parking, sometimes roadside or on/near the beach itself.
Tips: If you are from the continental US, please leave expectations of home at home. The Caribbean is a beautiful place and is meant to be enjoyed. Expect a more natural environment. Reach out to the host for any questions! Highly recommended!
