La Botánica Hotel

La Bontanica is a beautifully curated oasis of wonderful smells, sights and tastes in San Juan. Our group of five friends stayed comfortably in two suites and enjoyed delicious breakfasts following invigorating outdoor yoga every morning. Everything was clean and thoughtfully presented. Staff was helpful with making sure food allergies were carefully catered to at breakfast time. The location one block from a nice beach was perfect. Restaurants serving innovative, healthy local food are easy to find within walking distance. We can’t wait to return.

I stayed in The Glass House at La Botanica and truly felt like I was living in a dream. Surrounded by nature on all sides, with light pouring in and greenery everywhere—it was like my own private sanctuary in the middle of paradise. Every detail was so intentional, from the natural textures to the calming minimalist design. It’s the kind of place where you instantly exhale and slow down.||What made my stay even more memorable was Chef Victor—he’s a gem. Not only is his food nourishing and flavorful, but he himself is so sweet, kind, and welcoming. You can feel the love and care he puts into each meal. He made me feel right at home.||The community vibe at La Botanica is something special—yoga in the mornings, meaningful conversations around the table, and plenty of space to reflect and reconnect. Whether you’re solo or with a group, it’s a space that meets you where you are.||If you’re looking for a soulful, stylish, and restorative escape in Puerto Rico, La Botanica—and especially The Glass House—is it. I’ll absolutely be back.

Deeply disappointed. The bad:|First: the cockroaches that joined us - in the bathroom then showed up on my bed. The gardens are lovely but swarming with mosquitoes. There are eco-friendly ways to deal with this and it isn’t done. We stayed in the White Cottage and there was dust coming from the ceiling and cobwebs. Yoga in the morning seems like a wonderful idea except for the mosquito problem. The coqui frogs are expected but they are loud if you are a light sleeper.||The good: all the staff were wonderful. The vegan breakfast was good. The beds were comfortable and when we requested extra pillows they were provided. They refreshed beach towels daily and provided a beach mat to use. ||The location was good from a dining perspective but the walk to the beach was more than expected. When I mentioned the cockroaches, I got an apology and that they would notify housekeeping.||It has potential but overall I was disappointed.

I absolutely loved my stay at Hotel La Botanica. It felt like stepping into a serene little paradise tucked away in the heart of San Juan. The space is full of lush greenery and thoughtfully curated details—every product, every corner feels intentional and calming. My room was gorgeous, spotless, and beautifully designed. The bedsheets were soft, the pillows perfect—you can really feel the care and quality in every part of the hotel.||It was the perfect place to unwind after a beach day (the beach is just a block away!). I also loved the morning yoga and the many nearby spots to eat and explore. I only wish I could’ve stayed longer. I’ll definitely be back. 💚

Where do I begin? This was easily the most beautiful, unique, relaxing stay I’ve had in a long time, if not forever! The open air “lobby” is bursting with lush greenery, hidden buddhas, trickling water features, and at night, the sweet sounds of the coquis!|We stayed in the “glass room”- I was so overstimulated by the eclectic beauty of this space! You can tell everything had been expertly curated, and the special touches were noticed! The outside shower takes into a Mondrian painting, and the clawfoot tub is just beyond romantic. While this room is 100% private, it is located where other guests/staff walk by, but there are gorgeous velvet curtains to maintain privacy.|The staff was wonderful- helpful without being overbearing, friendly without being smarmy. Lastly, the vegan breakfast made fresh everyday by staff in the open kitchen warmed my vegan heart. Our two day stay offered spirulina crepes, and tumeric toast with veg.|Logistically, very close to the beach, & Calle Loíza for bars/restaurants. Quick uber to OSJ.|Do yourself a favor and get there!

This hotel was absolutely stunning. The room was beautiful and the plants everywhere made the hotel so cozy! The yoga outside was so relaxing, and our chef Victor was 11/10. So genuine and the food was phenomenal. We had the best trip and would absolutely come back! The hotel staff were all so friendly, and they cleaned our room/gave fresh towels every day! The shop inside the hotel was adorable and had so many local vendors! Everything was beyond perfect here!

Stayed here for two nights and it was magical! I’m a beach bum, but found myself wanting to spend as much time as possible at Labotanica, enjoying the grounds and the amazing coffee and tea they provided. The two yoga classes I took were fantastic, and the vegan breakfast exceeded my expectations. ||Their boutique was well curated, and I left with a few goodies. ||The design of everything was just breathtaking, and made me feel calm and cozy. Lots of design inspo for my own home, for sure! ||The hotel was a close walk to the beach and some spots to get food, and getting an uber was easy if you want to explore outside of Santurce

There is absolutely nothing I can say about La Botanica that could possibly describe how wonderful it is. From the moment you step inside the gates you are greeted with amazing views, smells, people and more. We stayed for 4 nights and honestly I could have stayed for ten more. The Vegan breakfast is to die for, the morning yoga is fantastic, the hosts are sweet and helpful and the hotel is always in perfect condition. They have everything you need and more. Don’t hesitate at all to book-you won’t regret it. We cannot wait to return!! Thank you for a great experience La Botanica!

La Botanica was amazing ! Our stay was truly perfect. The staff were extremely welcoming and helpful during our stay and we loved how peaceful our room felt. From the natural lighting in our room to the vegetarian meals made by Chef Victor we truly felt like we were in paradise. We would definitely return and suggest this hotel to everyone we know taking their next trip to PR Thank you !

stunning boutique hotel - feels like a little green oasis and steps away from the beach! The hotel staff were so accommodating and the chef/food is incredible. Can't say enough good things - would stay here over and over again!

Just WOW! This phenomenal boutique hotel exceeded our expectations. It was immaculate and every nook and cranny was artfully curated. From the hammock in the room, to the trickling water fountains, and the vintage photographs this place was so unique and special. The 24 hr coffee bar was AMAZING! The 8 am yoga classes were perfect and included. The vegan breakfast starting at 9 am was so memorable! We stayed at 2 other hotels on this trip, and this is the only one we are still talking about. If I were a travel agent I would book every client here. The staff was so professional.

This place is so cool! The service is sweet and generous. Great food and tea also. I took a yoga class one morning and it was exactly what I needed. Found this place thru a friend but more people need to know about how cool it is.

Great boutique hotel. Awesome energy by the staff, the architecture and decor is very pleasing to the soul. 1 block away from the beach, and centrally located near all the nice restaurants. I love this place and La Finca.

I love La Botanica Hotel and Wellness Center. It's truly a bit of zen in the city. You walk into the courtyard and are greeted by a fountain and lush landscaping. Through the courtyard, you will find the gift shop and check-in. Our check-in hostess, Kimberlina, was so nice and welcoming. We were able to leave our bags and she gave us a tour. There is a complimentary beverage station and yoga mats for the daily yoga class. The coffee is quite good. A daily vegan breakfast is also offered complimentary. We stayed in the treehouse room. It's up a narrow spiral staircase, but so worth it. At the top of the stairs is the outdoor shower and a deck. To the right is the most adorable room ever, complete with a hammock. The vintage decor is great. The bed is comfy. And I love the essential oil diffuser that had been turned on for us. Water is in your room, as is wine for purchase. La Botanica is in a busy neighborhood, so you can still hear neighborhood sounds, which is perfect for a city girl like me. I didn't see any bugs, which was my greatest fear. Just lots of cute little lizards. And you fall asleep to a coqui symphony. La Botanica is so peaceful and tranquil but you are still close to everything. I highly recommend staying here when in San Juan.

Thank you guys for this amazing stay! I had a great time at La Botánica Hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The vegan breakfast was very delicious! We stayed in 2 different rooms and both rooms were comfortable and had everything we needed including beach supplies as well. My favorite room was the one with the bathtub outside . The best part is every room had comfortable beds and a shower outside as well. This hotel is full of green plants and flowers, giving a lot of tropical vibes. The neighborhood is safe and the beach was very close, clean, and empty with no people. It was a wonderful experience and I would want to come back again because I loved staying here!

I am writing this because I can not get this hotel to call me back after booking my reservation? I have called, left voicemails, emailed, Facebook messaged, everything. Has anyone else had this troubling experience with this hotel? The reviews all seem to be positive so I am unsure why I am having such a difficult time getting ahold of them for over a week now.

I stayed for 3 nights at this hotel, seven months ago, on my first trip to Puerto Rico. To this day, when I am stressed or overwhelmed, I choose to meditate on all those moments spent at La Botanica. That little piece of heaven on earth is a soul-soother, spirit-cleanser, energy-vitalizer...I can go on. Don't think twice, just book a room! Maybe first talk to the hotel receptionist about your personality and vacation goals, so they can set you up with the most appropriate room as it is a boutique hotel. Kimberlina was so sweet to show me around in all the other rooms and take pictures on my last day. The attention to each detail is phenomenal and inspiring. The young chef (whose name I forgot) was so delightful, chatting with me while I waited for her to cook my fresh hot Indian breakfast (reminded of my childhood days). She mentioned her upcoming plans of transferring soon to the other location on Vieques. That is apparently a much bigger, more intense Ayurvedic retreat. I can't wait to stay there when I visit PR next!

In three days; I have an upcoming birthday trip to La Botanica; which I planned months ago. Yesterday, I reached out to schedule my events and received this email: "Please know unfortunately we have taken a temporary pause on our vegan dinners & are not offering them for the time being. We are also no longer offering the cooking & yoga workshop as our chef who host these events are out for the season. We are very sorry for the inconvenience. Nonetheless, we provide complementary yoga everyday at 8 a.m. We lay out mats, blocks & towels for you to use during the class and your stay! It is followed by our complimentary brunch from 9-11." I based my trip on PR because I wanted to experience the events this hotel had and has listed on their website (AFTER THIS REVIEW: I RECEIVED A CREDIT, I WAS TOLD I "MISTERPRETED OUR OFFERING" AND THEIR WEBSITE REMOVED THE SERVICES IN QUESTION.) I found La Botanica on Instagram so I based my travels around this hotel and its events. For example; my birthday is earlier in the week but I delayed my a trip to experience the 4-course vegan dinner on Friday. I was told "If the booking is canceled less than 7 days before arrival, then a charge equal to the full booking amount will be made. We can give you the option to change your dates & have a credit with us for 1 year." I am extremely upset because this was disingenuous: 1. False advertisement. 2. I was not made aware of this change for of events. 3. I was not offered my money nor a discount. 4. Why would they think I would ever want credit for an unscrupulous company? 5. The last email (there is no phone number listed on their website) was never answered Why I was not made aware, why isn't there an attempt to correct this situation, and what other activities are available at their facility? Therefore in 3 days; I need to forfeit my deposit at La Botanica or find another hotel (last minute) or have a penalty with my airline for a location change.

Had a stay in there Greenhouse Suite really enjoyed our stay there! Starting with the hospitality very caring making sure all yours needs are taken care of! Very friendly and amazing communication! Checking in and checking out was very easy! The room was just as the pictures very nice and calming. Theres a ductless ac system in the room so it can get a lil hot during sun peak hours however there's a fan in the ceiling and a fan you can plug in that helps a little bit with the heat. Coffee,tea, and water was provided as well! The hotel is very beautiful! Amazing plants and flowers throughout the space! There's tables in the patio you can hang out in which is a nice touch. If renting a car parking near by is limited and you have to be very careful where you park or you can get ticketed! Will be coming back! Definitely recommend checking them out and checking out the Greenhouse room as well as there other rooms!

Dissapointed. The staff are amiable. The negative goes towards the management woman at the location. We had not a pleasent experience. The female boss was extremely rude plus condecending. definitely would not recommend this location or there services including lunch, especially the spa. Think twice before reserving. We suggest you search for better options elsewhere. Good luck.

Prior to booking our stay, I was intent on a mini wellness retreat, solo, to start off the new year. I recently completed a 5 day Ayurveda workshop so was inspired to try La Botanica. Once I booked my partner asked to join. I was elated. We chose PR for an easy non stop short flight from Boston. Booking was easy and Claudia and Kimberlina answered all questioned and secured our booking for Urban Treehouse. When we arrived, we entered through a wooden gate and found ourselves in the most splendid garden. The fresh tropical flowers and lush foliage created a warm and welcoming environment. We were greeted by a lovely woman and given a tour. We tucked away our luggage and headed to the beach. The walk is 5 minutes. When we checked in, we navigated a spiral staircase to our romantic oasis. The furnishings were so comfy and the outdoor shower, heaven. We heard the coqui's at night as we sat in our stools and sipped fresh filtered water and discussed our day. Gio and Adriana made lovely Ayurvedic breakfasts which we enjoyed once in house and once to go. The flavors were delicious and plating, artful. There is a water tea and coffee bar and if you wish, wine to purchase. The gift shop features lovely local artisan crafts and jewelry. They sell books from my two favorite authors, Yung Pueblo and my friends, The Ruiz Brothers. I enjoyed daily meditation by the fountain. I took one yoga class which was lovely. Nights were comfortable for sleep with no disturbances. Our stay was a slice of heaven. A side note, Gio, Claudia and Adriana went the extra mile during our stay to curate day trips and dining options. Everything they suggested was spot on. During check out, Kimberlina took time to inquire of my experience and to ensure check out was seamless. I cannot wait to return and will bring a group for retreat.

I went here with my spouse for a stay-cation and couldn't be happier. The breakfast in the morning was high quality and delicious - I loved that it was vegan so I didn't have to ask what ingredients were in the meal and could just trust the chef. The bed in the room was so comfortable, I didn't want to get out of it in the morning. The outdoor shower was probably my favorite part and the only thing that could've made it better is if there was an outdoor bathtub as well. Overall, for the price and the amenities, I couldn't be happier and will certainly be back.

My husband and I stayed here for our baby moon and it was perfect! Beautiful location, lovely amenities, excellent customer service and food - such. cool experience!!! The outdoor showers were amazing - especially when it rained. Definitely a new core memory!

La Botanica is an absolute dream! I've stayed at their sister hotel in Vieques and loved it so much, so I knew this spot would be great! The property itself is absolutely gorgeous, and so was our room! We stayed in the glass cottage which has a beautiful outdoor tub & shower. We enjoyed the very delicious vegetarian breakfast that was included with our stay. What we loved most of all, was the kindness of the staff. We will most definitely be back!

I was fortunate enough to spend eight nights in this beautiful space in March 2023. I stayed in Sylvia's room which is very large and very comfortable. It was exactly what I needed for a vacation, somewhere where I could meditate and sit in the courtyard, read and drink good coffee . It's close to the beach and to many really good coffee shops and eateries , try la coffeetera , Dulce Salado and of course Pinky's .It's walking distance to the PR Museum of Art and to an outside free library . All of the staff are extremely kind. I will definitely be back in 2024
