Overview
Inland Puerto Rico is a different trip from the beaches, and Hacienda Juanita is a base for seeing it. The property sits off Route 105 in the hills of Maricao, one of the island's smallest municipalities and a centre of its coffee country.
Gardens surround an outdoor swimming pool, and a terrace gives a place to sit out with the view. The restaurant cooks local dishes and there's a bar for an evening drink. Breakfast is available à la carte or as a continental or American spread. Rooms have flat-screen TVs and private bathrooms, and some include kitchen facilities. Parking is free.

Location
The address is kilometre 22.5 on Carretera 105, the winding road that climbs into Maricao from Mayagüez. The property suggests hiking as one of the main things to do, and the forested Maricao State Forest covers much of the surrounding high ground.
By the property's figures, the Porta Coeli Religious Art Museum in San Germán is 18 km away, La Parguera, known for its bioluminescent bay, 32 km, Río Camuy Cave Park 43 km and the Guánica Dry Forest 45 km. Eugenio María de Hostos Airport in Mayagüez is about 29 km away.

Good to know
- Mountain roads here are narrow and slow; a hire car is essentially a must.
- Evenings in the hills are noticeably cooler than on the coast.
