Very nice room on a beautiful property, and conveniently located to all of your El Yunque adventures. We loved listening to the sounds of the rainforest (especially the coquis!) at night, and the pool was lovely in the evenings. Careful with the shower though, water has a tendency to run over the edge onto the floor. Otherwise a great stay!
Beautiful, serene grounds. Breakfast room being open 24/7 was clutch! Great space for a solo traveler, but very good for a couple that’s willing to share a smaller, but comforting room.
The property was beautiful, we saw iguanas, lizards, coquís, and a flock of puerto rican parrots fly overhead. The horticulture was well maintained and the flower garden was beautiful. Check in and out was super easy and the host was very communicative. The room was super cute, the AC was a lifesaver, and the continental breakfast was perfect to save a little money on eating out throughout the trip. We loved our second floor balcony in Villa #8. Very calm, clean, and peaceful stay. Also great location between the beaches and El Yunque Forest. Luquillo is such a charming town! We would definitely stay here again.
Location Location Location! Beautiful property nestled into the side of the rainforest! Very close to the Beaches and Luquillo Kiosk. El Yunque National Rainforest is next door.
Wonderful little get away. In the mountains, but still close to town, and everything else. Can hear the road, and the cars that travel through, but they give ear plugs due to the noise.
Mata e platano was beautiful, close to everything! The property was clean thoroughly everyday, i always saw the staff cleaning the pool, around the patio, etc. continental breakfast was good, the room is much smaller than what it looks likes on pictures, but for 2 people it’s perfect! I wished we had more like trash bags for the bathroom trashcan so one can replace it if it’s full and no trashcan for other trash inside the room so we had to go outside to the thrash bin to throw away small/medium trash, but honestly i loved the stay and i think in the future I would definitely stay again!
Gorgeous gated property with enough and easy parking. Room was perfect and the balcony was cute. Very peaceful and scenic location, with a pool, hammocks, seating area and a great breakfast room that is open all day.
Without a doubt, our stay at Mata ‘e Platano was amazing! The photos don’t do this property justice—it is even more breathtaking in person. The landscaping and outdoor spaces are beautiful, tranquil, and exceptionally well maintained. The lo-fi music playing throughout the property created the perfect zen atmosphere.
The location was ideal: close to El Yunque, beaches, restaurants, and everything we wanted to explore, yet secluded enough to feel peaceful and private. We loved spending our time by the pool, reading, and simply enjoying the serenity. It’s truly perfect for adults looking to relax and disconnect.
The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, and the recommendations provided by the property were a wonderful touch. We followed their beach recommendation and visited San Miguel Beach, a remote and absolutely fantastic beach that became one of the highlights of our trip.
We were lucky enough to have the entire property to ourselves. Check-in was easy with the access code, and having the gate key made coming and going convenient.
And the sweetest surprise? Meeting the neighbors’ two adorable Schnauzers! 🐶 They definitely made our stay even more memorable.
Mata ‘e Platano truly feels like a little piece of heaven. If you’re visiting Fajardo and want a beautiful, serene escape close to everything but away from the crowds, don’t miss this place! We absolutely loved our stay and will definitely be back!
This place is really peaceful and beautiful. I stayed for a few nights and enjoyed my time there. Parking was phenomenal and the staff are communicative.
The only downside is there’s no TV nor a microwave in the room.
There’s a microwave in the breakfast room/area that you have full access to anytime. And wifi is superb to where you can stream on your phone. Keep in mind though that they are near a rainforest so depending on time of year it'll rain.
Also I LOVED and will miss the French vanilla coffee from their espresso machine. So dang good especially with cinnamon.
Also this place is conveniently close to Luquillo beach and would definitely recommend going there early in the AM to be the crowds and get a good spot.
Super cute, perfect for a 1-2 night stay to explore El Yunque during the day, and head to Luquillo for a sunset stroll on the beach and dinner!

Such a great experience! The rooms are quite small, but it gave the exact rainforest stay vibes I was looking for! The breakfast room was a great bonus - it even had bug spray and sunscreen! The grounds were clean. We loved looking for coqui frogs at night! Absolutely recommend!!
