Opened in 2018, El Pretexto is an intimate “farmstay” bed and breakfast that celebrates Puerto Rico’s agricultural heritage. The farm-to-table restaurant open exclusively to hotel guests sources many of its fruits and vegetables from the property and hosts pop-up dinners with some of the country’s top chefs, including Mario Pagán and James Beard Foundation Award nominee Francis Guzmán. When you aren t tempted by made-from-scratch dishes like smoked chorizo croquettes with Hamachi and tobiko, try a little yoga in the garden gazebo or book an open-air massage with views of the surrounding mountain peaks. Guests can also hike to nearby waterfalls through a forest of palms and banana trees. Because of COVID-19 protocols, El Pretexto is only welcoming guests from Tuesday to Thursday and from Friday to Sunday to allow a 48-hour window to sanitize and air out rooms in between parties.
