When we were planning our trip to Puerto Rico and booking hotels, then the second place we planned on staying in during our vacation, The Dreamcatcher, was the one I waited to stay at the most. I think I've never felt so relaxed sleeping somewhere else besides my own bed than I did during these days! When we arrived at this vegeterian bed & breakfast, we felt like we walked into a beautiful home. Situated in the Ocean Park private neighborhood, surrounded by private villas and being only steps away from the ocean, it felt so relaxing from the second we arrived. We had booked a beautiful suite on the second floor with a walk-in closet, a balcony and an outdoor bathroom, but got even a sweeter surprise from the staff on our arrival and were upgraded to the Tropicalia Suite for the first night😍
Since we arrived quite early in the morning, we were just in time for breakfast, which was absolutely amazing! It's a vegan or vegeterian 3-course menu, that is made by chef Jerome and is different every day. Everything in it is just so incredibly tasty and good, but also super healthy and really nutricious. As for activities, then yoga classes are held every morning at the beach and evening in the hotel garden. You can also get massages in your room or at the beach, rent bikes or join in one of their tours to the rainforest, caves, waterfalls etc. It really makes a perfect vacation!

The only downsides I could find about The Dreamcatcher (and those are only if I am truly trying to find some) were that the neighborhood outside the gated area with those amazingly beatiful houses didn't look so good as the inside area and if you're travelling with children who are younger than 8, you can't stay there. But you know, if you truly want to relax, you don't bring your children there, so I totally understand their policy and as for the neighborhood, then it was SO authentic that I didn't mind it not looking all glamorous! There were many great restaurants and you could really see and feel the local vibe😉

All in all, I just want to tell you that you absolutely have to stay at the The Dreamcatcher when you're travelling to San Juan! I couldn't recommend this place highly enough - it's the best type of accomodation you could have and it makes your whole vacation complete💛

Kui plaanisime oma reisi Puerto Ricosse ja broneerisin hotelle, siis koht, kus me peatusime oma puhkuse ajal teisena, The Dreamcatcher, oli hotell, milles ööbimist ootasin ma kõige enam. Ma arvan, et ma pole peale oma koduvoodi maganud kunagi varem kuskil mujal nii hästi, kui ma tundsin end nende päevade ajal seal! Kohe sellesse taimetoiduhotelli sisse jalutades tundsime me, et astusime justkui ühte ilusasse koju. The Dreamcatcher asub Ocean Parki piirkonnas, mis on väravatega eraldatud privaatne eramajade ja villade naabruskond, olles vaid mõne sammu kaugusel ookeanist, mistõttu tundsime sellist mõnusat lõõgastust ja rahulolu kohe esimesest hetkest peale. Olime endale nende juures broneerinud ühe ilusa teise korruse sviidi walk-in riidekapi, suure terrassi ja õues asuva vannitoaga, kuid kohale jõudes ootas meid ees veelgi toredam uudis, kui personal meile esimeseks ööks nende Tropicalia sviiti upgrade'i tegi😍
Kuna saabusime hotelli üpris vara hommikul (sest, kui mäletate, lahkusime eelmisest kohast nii kiirelt kui võimalik), siis jõudsime kohale täpselt hommikusöögiajaks, mis oli absoluutselt võrratu! Hommikusöök on seal nimelt 3-käiguline vegan või taimetoidu menüü, mis on iga päev erinev ning mida valmistab kohapeal kokk Jerome. See on ülimalt maitsev ja sealjuures ka hästi tervislik ning toitev. Samuti on hotellis mitmeid erinevaid tegevusi - näiteks toimuvad joogatunnid igal hommikul rannas ja igal õhtul hotelli aias. Samuti saab soovi korral nii oma toas kui ka rannas massaaži, rentida rattaid või ühineda mõne nende poolt korraldatava ekskursiooniga vihmametsa, koobastesse, koskede juurde jne. Kõik vajalik ideaalseks puhkuseks olemas!
Ainukesed miinuspooled Dreamcatcheri hotelli juures (ja need on ka ainult siis, kui tõesti peaksin midagi negatiivset välja tooma) olid need, et naabruskond piiratud väravatega ilusate majade juurest väljapool ei olnud kuigi kena ning et kui reisite alla 8-aastaste lastega, siis seal hotellis te paraku ööbida ei saa. Kuid samas on see ka arusaavad, sest nad soovivad pakkuda oma klientidele mõnusat vaikust ja lõõgastust ning mis puutub naabruskonda, siis see ei näe küll üliglamuurne välja, kuid on sealjuures hästi autente. Seal on väga palju häid restorane ja saad elada seda nö "õiget" kohalikku elu ja tunnetada nende kultuuri, mistõttu mind see väljanägemine üldse ei häirinud😉
Kokkuvõttes ma tahtsin teile lihtsalt öelda, et kui te reisite San Juani, siis te lihtsalt PEATE Dreamcatcheris ööbima! Uskuge mind - see on lihtsalt ülimõnus ja kõige õigem majutusviis sellisel troopilisel saarel nagu Puerto Rico💛
