After reading the many great reviews, My wife and I booked 3 nights prior to our recent cruise out of San Juan. It was a great choice! Even though we were there during some intense rains (finding out why it's called a rainforest) we could not have been more comfortable. We were at home with Laurie and Bill and the one other group of guests (there are only two rooms that are rented), sitting around the gourmet breakfast table trading reviews of great places to visit and dine. We had the downstairs Villa and felt like we lived there enjoying the surrounding gardens and view down the hills and out to the ocean. Way too rainy during our stay for the private treks others have raved about, but we enjoyed the adjoining El Yunque Forest and the great local dining in Luquillo. Probably not for those used to the same-old hotel experience, but if you want to feel like you're arrived at your second-home hideaway, lovingly cared for you during your absence by Laurie and Bill, this is the place.

I traveled with my senior parents and wanted to really experience being in the rainforest even if they weren't up for long slippery hikes, so staying at the Rainforest Inn was perfect. We could spend a few hours at the National park but also enjoy being surrounded by gorgeous views and the sounds of the rainforest the rest of the day and night while back at the Inn. It rained for the 3 days we were there, but it didn't bother us one bit under the shelter of our ponchos and the Rainforest Inn!

Having a small kitchen was helpful so we could make bag lunches to take to the park and still enjoy a restaurant meal nearby for dinner. The place was fully furnished w/ everything from flashlights to a styrofoam cooler!

If you want your own lodge in the rain forest this is the place to stay! It is right on the edge of the national park of El Yunque and you have your own private rain forest garden with views right to the sea when the weather is clear. The accommodation is lovely and spacious with wooden beams, plenty of character and lots of windows to see the rain forest from. The bed was very comfortable and there was plenty of hot water and good pressure in the shower. Breakfast was also very good, all vegetarian but very well cooked by the hosts and delicious. They also have a private rain forest trek to a waterfall, very muddy and a bit challenging but worth it when you arrive at the pool and there are no other tourists taking pictures.
We would definitely stay here again.

Bill and Lori were a big reason for why we enjoyed our Puerto Rico trip this year!
We decided to make an impromptu trip over Thanksgiving this year and part of the itinerary was to stay in El Yungue, the Rainforest. After a lot of research we found the Rainforest Inn to be the best fit us. It is absolutely off the beaten path and completely in the middle of the forest. It took us about 40 mins to drive there from Old San Juan and also happened to get slightly lost along the way. However, Bill was accessible on his phone and gave us exact directions.
On arrival we were greeted by a very hospitable Bill with his friendly dog. We immediately gave us a tour of his property which is an oasis! The views are breathtaking and we immediately felt relaxed and at home. His property is covered with lots of beautiful flowers and greenery and he also has a small pond. There is a nice seating area which they call the “breezeway” where we relaxed while Bill made us some margaritas.
Soon after, we were shown our suite which was incredibly warm and comfortable. It had two bedrooms, a lounge area and a kitchen. The kitchen was stocked with all the basic appliances and the fridge had coffee, milk and sugar. Each room has a fan and even though the temperatures were warm, we were very comfortable with the temperature.
The day we had arrived was Thanksgiving Day and much to our surprise, after we got back from a long hike, we had a note on our door inviting us to Thanksgiving dinner with Lori and Bill which ended up being a lot of fun!

In addition, breakfast is included as part of the stay and each day was something different which was cooked by Lori! Both days the food was excellent and we got to meet some other couples that were staying on the property.

Apart from the property itself, Bill and Lori were extremely helpful and really assisted us in planning our two days there. They outlined hikes for us, and one day sent us to a quiet local beach.

Overall I cant recommend Rainforest Inn enough!!
