main dining room features gourmet dining, with Caribbean recipes prepared by our
executive chef in an elegant sea view setting with a menu that combines classic
elegance with a penchant for Puerto Rican cuisine. Traditional entrees such as
Asopao de Langosta, Whole Fried Snapper with Mojo, tostones and a variety of
conch specialties are among the choice for any evening's dinner, but unexpected
delights, such as nightly chef's specials also enhance the menu. The only
constant - truly fine food. We also offer a fine selection of wines and
champagnes.

GUANICA DRY FOREST RESERVE - A UNESCO PROJECT
- Puerto Rico's Dry Forest Reserve in Guánica is the largest remaining tract of a tropical dry coastal forest in the world and is one of the best examples of a Dry Forest.
- The Guanica Reserve covers more than 18,000 acres with more than 36 miles of trails and old roads.
- It is outstanding for hiking, caving and bird watching. The Forest is the home of more protected birds than anywhere else in Puerto Rico.
- The Forest was established in 1919 and is today one of six protected areas in Puerto Rico.
- Totally different from the forests in the north or that cover the mountains that comprise the islands mid-section. This sub-tropical dry forest is deprived of rainfall because the rain evaporates over the 5,000-foot Coderillera Mountains before reaching the Caribbean shore. The forested mountains may be deluged annually by 15-feet of rainfall, while Guanica could receive a mere 20 to 35 inches.
HIKING,
BIRDWATCHING, AND ECOLOGY
- Nature lovers and bird watchers can hike 12 forest trails, easy to rugged. In one mile, mostly along the roadway, 40 different species of birds were recorded
- The largest bird population on the island is protected here, more than El Yunque Rain Forest, with over 100 species of migratory and resident birds.
- The Puerto Rican Whippoorwill (guabairo) survives on the island only in this reserve. Among at least 40 other endangered species surviving here are the Troupial, the Orange-Cheeked Waxbill, the Caribbean Elaenia, the Puerto Rican Bullfinch, the Puerto Rican Tody and the Puerto Rican Nightjar (once thought to be extinct).
- More than 700 species of trees and plants are protected in the forest, including 16 that exist only here.
