“Great view, breeze, and staff. Comfortable cabin”
Rancho Juancho is made of six small, but immaculately clean, basic cabins on top of a hill with a great view of the Caribbean and a pleasant breeze making lazing in the cabin’s hammock an almost meditative experience. My cabin had AC, Spanish (mostly) language cable, a two burner stove, refrig and cold shower. The only wi-fi is a 100 yards further up the hill at the reception / outdoor dining area. The driveway, as noted by others, is a steep drive, disconcerting the first time one drives it. Owner is very pleasant and speaks English well. Rates excellent as a basic cabin, but don’t expect a Hampton or Courtyard.

Friendly family place. Gorgeous location. Rustic cabin with everything you need. If you are looking for luxury this is not your place. If your are looking for comfortable accommodations in a beautiful setting look no further .
