A Jungle Retreat Near the Beach
Perched above the canopy, our meditation deck overlooks sweeping jungle views, making it an ideal spot for yoga, journaling, or morning coffee at sunrise. Whether you’re working remotely, writing your next chapter, or simply recharging, Casita de Cruz offers the best of Puerto Rico’s mountains and beaches in one stay.
Slow Living,
Inspired by Heritage
The name Casita de Cruz is a tribute to our ancestors, rooted in Mexican and Puerto Rican heritage and the spirit of women who created, built, and dreamed boldly. That same energy of resilience and creativity lives here, inviting guests to slow down, reconnect, and feel at home in the Caribbean.
Jungle to Table
During your stay, enjoy access to our seasonal garden, pick fresh herbs, fruits, or vegetables right outside your door. For those who love seafood, local fishermen in the area offer fresh-caught fish for purchase. It’s a beautiful way to savor the flavors of the island while directly supporting the community. A little taste of island abundance, cultivated with care, that makes every meal feel grounding and fresh.
