Just spent 7 wonderful days here. Ray and Gwenn, you are awesome hosts. We appreciate your thoughtfulness with all the "little" things. A clothesline in the shower! The property is gorgeous, and the home is comfortable. We ate at El Parrillon and Casa El Punto, and would recommend both. We went to Balneario Escambrón, and swam and snorkeled. It was crowded, but it was a good, free place to snorkel. We also used East Island Excursions to go to Culebra … this was the best trip. We hiked up El Toro … try to do it on a clear day. It is a rigorous hike, but we enjoyed it even though the top was in a cloud when we got there. We will definitely recommend this place to friends.

Your home is nothing short of beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with us. We really enjoyed our time here, and would love to return with the family. The amenities really made the stay feel like home. Thanks again!

This was absolutely wonderful. We have thoroughly enjoyed our time here! It is so very beautiful here, and the book was very helpful. Despite damage by the hurricanes, this was beautiful and accomodating. The East Island Excursions and the Fort in Old San Juan were my personal favorite day trips. The was also just spectacular!

Thank you for sharing the Garden of Eden with us. I know it must look different to you since the canopy and many trees are gone, but what this Pennsylvanian sees is beautiful inside the house and outside (soooo much work). We loved being in your garden, and enjoyed your pool so much. So comfortable and perfect for the family (5 of us). There is no price that can be put on such an experience in Puerto Rico.

We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay! What a wonderful place you keep, so beautiful! We enjoyed Playa Escondida (Fajardo). It is about 20-minutes trail to the left from Seven Seas Beach. We walked on the beach for almost a mile. Super soft sand!

We are concluding another adventure in Puerto Rico while staying for 10 days at wonderful Coqui's Hideaway, our 5th time at Coqui's. Even a couple of days when the grid shut down were fun. Ray fixed things so that, during the daytime outage, we had power from solar for internet, computer, and the refrigerator. While we were here, the battery backup for the solar system was installed, so future power grid outages should be of little consequence. Most businesses have generators now, so we had no problems at stores and restaurants. With the interesting solar installation going on, we had even more time to chat with Ray and Gwenn, and to hear about their 5 dogs that let us pet them and get kisses from them.
Out and about, there was some sadness in bent and broken road signs, blue tarps, and a few abandoned businesses. Road 191 into El Yunque is still open only to La Coca Falls, and El Portal is closed. But Puerto Rico will rise.
El Verde BBQ is there same as ever, and on Sunday the band next to El Verde drew hundreds to the party, and cars were parked all over. The Puerto Rican people were friendly as ever.
We had some good local food (well … sandwiches) at Panaderia Don Nico (SW corner of Rt 3 and Rd 958), and at Puertorrican Bakery in Palmer. We love the open-air, and always cool bar area of El Convento Hotel in Old San Juan. It is nice for chatting with friends while dawdling over drinks or nice food from a brief menu. They don't seem to mind if you sit there all afternoon. Many of the kiosks on Rt 3 in Luquillo seem to have Puerto Rican food from the same kitchen. For something different, try kiosk #34, Revolution Pizza. They have much more than pizza, and service is excellent.
Gwenn and Ray have spent months cleaning up the property after hurricane Maria, and it is as beautiful as ever. One day, we had a real downpour of a shower. I posted a short clip on YouTube, "Beauty in a Tropical Shower", with a description "Beauty Falling on Beauty". It was so beautiful here that we changed our plans and stayed 3 more days.

Coming to the end of an amazing experience here at the beautiful Coqui's Hideaway. We stayed here a few years back, and fell in love. This time, we brought our kids, ages 13, 10, and 9. We spent a day in Old San Juan, three days roaming the island of Culebra, and two here in my favorite spot. Sadly, many trails (in El Yunque National Forest) are not open, but for sure we will be back. The kids fell in love with the beaches. Some friends found us a secluded spot, and the kids played for hours and hours. I have never seen them get along so well for that length of time. Great trip, with perfect memories of smiles and laughs.
