Finca Victoria

We really liked Finca Victoria. It is Ayurvedic but fairly luxurious. All rooms are unique and there are a maximum of about 20 persons in wine whole place. They only serve breakfast, which is gourmet vegetarian - truly wonderful however. There is also a central pavilion where you can grab beer or wine and sign for it to your room at any hour. But this is not a typical hotel room experience. Also, you should rent a car or golf cart if going as it is relatively far from other places you might want to go.

We stayed in The Invisible Treehouse and had the BEST time! The grounds and scenery were well kept and made for a stunning experience. Staff was all very welcoming, and I can’t say enough about the breakfasts…the chefs were outstanding. This place is geared towards relaxation, and we left feeling just that. Also in a great secluded location, but close enough to the beaches and restaurants that you aren’t needing to travel far.

I spent five incredible days at Finca Victoria this past week, with my sister, niece, and pregnant daughter in law. We started each day with a yoga class in the stunning yoga pavilion, then had a leisurely breakfast freshly prepared by the two resident chefs. The food is natural and organic, and vegetarian, creative and tasty. The property is beautiful and filled with flowers, ponds, fountains, serene places to read or sit, and a lovely pool to take dips in. It was heavenly. We stayed in Corky’s house, which was spacious with plenty of room for 4-5 people. I will be back!!

Why not go? The retreat is a sanctuary of tranquility, contributing to a deep sense of well-being. It is a perfect escape from the daily stress of reality. I had a transformative experience for body, mind, and soul with such a great atmosphere, mesmerizing sunset, delicious breakfast, and excellent customer service. (Mind you, this is not a paid promotion; I just really LOVE IT.) I enjoyed talking to Luis Ocasio (Host) throughout my stay such a beautiful human being and kind. He created a wow moment for my birthday that I didn’t expect. Also, if you are looking for an exceptional massage, ask for Monica Cassanova (@cocoshakti); I highly recommend her. I also spoke with Casey; she was lovely, with great outfits and attentive to details. The only thing I miss was the pastries and the prep-meals they had daily, but there’s an alternative at their sister property, La Botanica Hotel, San Juan. I truly enjoyed my time at Finca Victoria and look forward to returning and celebrating my birthday each year. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much, Sylvia De Marco, for creating such a spectacular place. It was a perfect getaway filled with tremendous peace.

This was an amazing experience. Being surrounded by the natural beauty of nature and caring people that went above and beyond for me. My room had a beautiful view, I had visits from humming birds, butterflies, lizards, katydids and the coqui. I enjoyed Maria’s yoga practice she happens to be one of the yoga instructors there. I treated myself to a gua sha massage which was a plus! The vegan brunches were so yummy and filling, I don’t usually eat clean but this was an eye opener for me. I am looking forward to my next visit and already planning it out.
