I loved the place! It could have been a bit cleaner, but over all I loved the stay. No a.c. which was fine for me. The nights were nice enough to not sweat at all, and it was the end of Aug. My friend really didn't care for it.
So, if you need more than some of the most beautiful nature and scenery and basic necessities, it probably isn't for you.
And the cats.... They are everywhere on the island, but extra cuddly here.
The property was adorable and very relaxing. It DOES have hot water, despite a previous review. Only 15 minutes to beaches by car and 25 minutes to airport. Great place if you want a more relaxed, local feel. They are a cat rescue so if you don’t like cats this isn’t your spot. Very friendly turkey that loves to be pet and lots of baby chicks! Kid friendly with walking trails and a great view. Only suggestion would be more kitchen access. There’s a fridge to store food and drinks but limited on use of plates etc. overall a fantastic getaway and would definitely return! Everyone was very friendly!
The drive up may be a bit intimidating if you've little experience driving up hills and on narrow roads, but it's nothing worrying. Even if it was, it is completely worth it to stay at La Casa de Vida Natural. We stayed in the Lychee room which has its own compact bathroom w/shower and balcony. Rooftop access is nearby with a small table and an astounding view of Puerto Rico --mountains and beaches/ocean. There are free roaming cats, ducks, and chickens, but they're very friendly or just mine their own business. Everything was very clean and tidy, only remember to bring some bug spray for mosquitos in the evening (but even without they weren't too bad). We had a short one night stay, but it was wonderful and hosts very welcoming. We've already recommended this place to our friends and will remember to book here for future trips.

We only spent 1 night here
Not hard to find-- almost wish we hadn't!
We understood there was no AC--but most places have adequate fans & breezes--not here. It was almost unbearable until several hours after sundown. (we are from the deep south & are very familiar with extreme heat & humidity)
Also be aware there is NO HOT WATER!!!!
Our assigned room did have an inside shower--but no internet as advertised!
We were moved & were told the new room even had better ventilation in addition to wifi--both were extremely weak! The shower was outside down a sloping, crumbling path--no lighting, no shelf & again NO HOT WATER!
Also FYI No TV. No Microwave (seems they are dangerous)
You are allowed to use their outside fridge and there is coffee & tea available.
I counted 12 cats, not 2 as in the description, who were allowed everywhere--chairs, the table we were eating our supper at & even in the narrow, dark pathway to our room. Poop everywhere! Even if you love cats (we have 2 at home) this was crazy.
The other animals were less intrusive, yet they all wander and leave lots of poop (chickens, ducks, large dog). There is also a collection of old & dirty children's toys in the yard & patio.
The on-site employee, Eunice was very friendly & as helpful as she could be. It seems at one time in the 80s this was intended to be some type of all natural "unplugged" yoga spa & wellness retreat---but that is not what it is now. The off-site owner & her local business partner don't seem to have any concern for the modern day comfort of their guests. (especially Hot water)
The entire facility seemed tired & in need of a face-lift.
If you enjoy primitive camping this is the place for you.
Accommodations spotlessly clean and exactly as in pictures, very relaxing location in mountains near El Yonque. Very private and unique basic room with chickens and a cat or two roaming around. Owners very non obtrusive yet leave contact info should you need anything. We are looking forward to returning next time we are in Puerto Rico, it's less than 30 minute drive from SJU. Also best barbecue on island 5 minutes away as you turn off main road from San Juan. Highly recommend!
