Puerto Rico’s Haciena Gripinas has deep roots in Jayuya’s history and Caribbean culture. The former coffee plantation rests in Jayuya’s mountains, located in the central region of the island. Though guests may be far from the beach, Jayuya is full of cultural attractions, such as museums, monuments and annual festivals.
Established in 1863 by Don Eusebio Perez del Castillo, the plantation became a hotel in 1975 and still retains its 19th century Spanish charm. The white, wood building with green trim offers amazing views of the mountains and plenty of opportunities to explore the forest. Tropical flowers bloom throughout the property, adding bursts of color to the green surroundings. Take a dip in the pool or sit out on the spacious deck. The basketball field keeps guests active while on holiday, and the common areas provide a relaxing break from the outdoors. Decorated with comfortable wood furniture and antique artwork, the hotel emanates an ambience of classic sophistication.
Rooms are modestly designed with basic amenities. Balconies spread out across the property, allowing excellent sights of plant life in the Caribbean islands. The hotel offers breakfast and dinner, prepared in the hotel’s kitchen and served in the dining room. If planning on eating at the hotel, guests pay for meals with their lodging. The dining room is an elegant look into Jayuya’s past. The outdoor bar is also a great place to meet other guests at the hotel.
For a vacation in the mountains, Hacienda Gripinas is an ideal lodging option. Unlike most hotels, Hacienda Gripinas stays true to its past and keeps its historical presence. The hotel takes great pride in its beginnings and its beautiful location. The sit-down dinner is great for those who want to be treated well on vacation.
