"There truly are no words that would capture the magic of this place. It is up in the mountains of Bayamon. Upon entering, you are greeted by your host—Pedro and Yohandra. They have situated three cabins on their 20+ acre property. The cabins are exceptionally arranged to include a deck overseeing the lush green rainforest mountains, beautiful art work and (I can only speak for the cabin I stayed in), a shower that opens up to the landscape of the rainforest. In the evening you will be entertained by an orchestra of Coqui’s, birds, peacocks and a variety of other insects and creatures that I could not possibly name. Here’s the kicker. If what I have already shared doesn’t have you running to make a reservation, the on-site chef will definitely get you there. Ema is a phenomenal chef. Blending ingredients to create masterfully delicious meals. If they gave Michelin stars in PR, he would have already received several. Add to that, Mama (the owner’s mom). I had the special treat of experiencing a homemade Cuban dessert made by her. Once I tasted her papaya dessert, it’s the one I ordered every day as my evening treat. And what a treat it was. This place is an oasis of tranquility, restoration and peace. Once my husband and I arrived on the property, we did not leave until it was time to go home. Mont Carpe Diem is just what my mind, body and soul needed. I cried as I said my goodbyes to a family that poured love into a soul that was depleted. "
