Casa Botánica Hotel

Casa Botanica is a beautiful refuge steps away from the beach. The morning yoga was the perfect start to my day with their delicious in house breakfast made expertly (and all vegan!) The staff is lovely and create the most relaxing and laid back environment. A bonus is that they use natural products to care for the earth. I love it here and I don’t wanna leave!

I do not have enough good things to say about this hotel. It was the PERFECT getaway. From the moment you enter the gate, you are greeted by aromatherapy and the sound of coqui frogs that lull you to sleep with unexpected ease. The staff is so accommodating with dietary restrictions and serves a vegan breakfast that’s good enough to rave to your friends (and I’m not vegan by any means!). The fresh tea and coffee in the lobby are a warm welcome into the hotel and the island’s deep and rich flavors. I stayed in the vintage treehouse and I couldn’t have chosen a better room. The room is so comfortable with A/C and a hammock that encourages you to abandon your plans and nap all day. The outdoor shower was what I looked forward to the most and it did not disappoint! Hot water was plentiful and it was such an experience to shower with the sun on your skin. The website alerts you to the spiral staircase for the treehouses so be mindful of your luggage! I was able to get my carry on up the stairs but I wouldn’t suggest any big or heavy luggage. All in all, this experience was 100/10 and any time I stay in San Juan, I will be staying here. I also traveled here solo and felt completely safe the whole time! It is so worth it, just book it!

The hotel's location is very convenient for easy access to the beach and restaurants. The front desk was kind and helpful. We stayed at the Greenhouse room which is very spacious for two people and beautifully decorated. The only problem is you need to climb a narrow spiral staircase to access it which is pretty hard with luggage. A room on the lower level might be better if you have more luggage. Vegan breakfast is chef's choice every morning, included in the price of the room. During our stay it was oat pancakes and ginger+fruit juices.

I've been here 4 times over the past 3 years - it's a magical place to stay. Unique rooms, very low-key vibes, extremely restorative. Everything from the music to the (incredible) breakfast is cohesive - you're in a little oasis of greenery. And the staff is just wonderful. I wish I could come enough to make this a home away from home! 1 short block to a quiet section of the beach, and a block in another direction to some terrific restaurants.||Back to the breakfast (which is included): inventive, vegetarian, and delicious. It's different every day - see picture attached.||I love this place so much, 10 stars if i could!

La Botanica is a stunning oasis run by people who are beautiful on the inside and out. The location is perfect with easy access to the beach (the beach bag they provide is a huge help too). Their recommendations for tours and restaurants are spot on. Staying here feels like you have a home in the jungle with the most delicious private chef making you breakfast! We stayed in the garden room and we highly recommend it.

Great refuge in Puerto Rico- spacious rooms, minimal yet tasteful decoration, and amazing amenities like morning yoga and a vegan breakfast. Wish we had more time to enjoy the space, but will definitely stay here during our next trip!

Botanical paradise offering stress-free check-in process (thank you Cailee!) in welcoming and delicious smelling lobby area also displaying artisanal products from local merchants to peruse and purchase. Exquisitely decorated Sylvia's suite was bright and spacious, the bed and linens ultra comfortable, and also offered calming aromatherapy scent. Appreciated the curated refrigerator wine and sparkling for purchase - the beach blanket and beach cooler were PERFECT for easy transport to the local beach. Water pressure sufficient, loved the beautiful sink. My favorite touch was honor system purchase tracking. ||Head chef Victor's vegan breakfast were beautiful to look at and savor - excellent fulfilling and flavorful plates, scrambled tofu and potato with greens one morning and delicious pumpkin breakfast tacos another. We are not vegan but starting the day with a clean and filling meal was the ideal balance to all of the also delicious fried food and traditional plates (and cocktails) we tried around town. Location perfect - local beach only blocks away with locals sun bathing, kite surfing and listening to salsa or Bad Bunny. Plenty of coffee spots and lunch spots and a small market within walking distance. Quick Ubers around town to Calle Cerrra, or San Juan or Piñones. I had high expectations - La Botanica exceeded them all. We did not make it to yoga but our friends raved about it! Highly recommend!

My stay at Hotel Botanica was perfect. This cute boutique hotel was home for a weekend stay in San Juan and after looking at so many hotels, I’m so glad I chose this one.||||The location was perfect for exploring different parts of San Juan and I loved that it was just a block from such a beautiful beach. ||||We stayed in the greenhouse which was a beautiful, roomy, light filled space that my friend noted felt like “the cool girls loft in a movie.” The bed was super comfortable and AC worked perfectly. ||||The communal spaces were so warm and welcoming. I loved sitting in the garden having my delicious breakfast each morning. ||||Highly highly recommend and can’t wait to come back!

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
