There is another side to Puerto Rico beyond the hustle of San Juan and the sprawling beach resort hotels. Here are three cool getaways that will get you closer to the heart of this amazing island.
The Central Mountains
Casa Grande
With its network of private cabins weaving through the lush mountains of central Puerto Rico, Casa Grande is darn green. Whether hanging out on your private balcony, taking a dip in the refreshing pool, or enjoying a delicious meal at the outdoor restaurant, a sea of deep green trees envelops you. To top it all off, Casa Grande has won several Puerto Rico Hotel & Tourism Green Inn Awards. Now that’s green! (more…)
The South Coast
Mary Lee
The apartments are where it’s at at Mary Lee’s. They are huge and decorated to the nines in a funky Floridian style. We had great fun exploring the bay and mangrove islands in a kayak that we launched right from Mary Lee’s dock just a stone’s throw away from our porch. Mary Lee’s is located on the southwest coast of Puerto Rico, two hours from San Juan and just up the street from the Guanica Dry Forest, a UNESCO International Biosphere Reserve. (more…)
Vieques Island
La Finca Caribe

Plus, the outdoor showers are amazing. La Finca Caribe is on a hill in the middle of Vieques, a small island just six miles off the east coast of Puerto Rico, and the views of the forest down to the Caribbean Sea are fantastic. (more…)
