The Neighborhood:
La Casita is nestled on the top of a hill of Villa Lala, a 6.8 acres private estate surrounded by nature and neighbored by the ocean, the National Rainforest and grand mountains that surround the land.
You can expect a private, relaxing environment throughout your stay.
Villa La La is located at Ceiba, named for one of Puerto Rico’s most recognizable trees. Ceiba is a beachfront town on Puerto Rico’s northeast coast. The municipality is bordered by Naguabo to the south, Río Grande to the west, Fajardo and Luquillo to the north, and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. Ceiba is about a one-hour drive from Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU) and a half-hour ride from El Yunque National Rainforest.
Until 2004, Ceiba was home to the Roosevelt Roads Naval Station. Today, the former military base encompasses, among other things, the commuter-friendly Ceiba International Airport (RVR) and the Ceiba Ferry Terminal, which serves Puerto Rico’s nearby islands, Vieques and Culebra.
Ceiba is the perfect destination to enjoy a relaxing day cooling off from the tropical heat, either by the ocean or the river.
Los Machos Beach in the Medio Mundo and Daguao Natural Reserve is an easy-to-reach oasis complete with swaying palm trees, calm ocean waves, and gazebos for picnics and parties. A short walk on a tree-lined path leads to Medio Mundo Beach, a nearly two-mile (three-kilometer) slice of paradise where soft, white sand and turquoise water make this spot equally ideal for snorkeling in the Atlantic Ocean or diving into a great book.
Further inland, Río Fajardo flows down from El Yunque, creating the picturesque pools of Charco Frío. This area offers plenty of shade and a serene atmosphere where you can spend time communing with nature. Families often gather here, as several pools are shallow enough for kids to safely splash around. Nearby at Las Tinajas, flowing waterfalls, natural rock waterslides, and freshwater pools showcase the wondrous beauty of the river. It’s always a treat to marvel at the daring people who somersault off of the high rocks and plummet into the water from the rope swing.

PRIVATE HEATED SALTWATER POOL
The private pool is heated and runs on salt water. There are many benefits to this, starting with the far less amount of chemical substances that are required to maintain the pool. The water is gentle on your eyes, does not smell like chlorine, improves your skin, as saltwater is a natural exfoliator and moisturizer.
The saltwater pool also stimulates all the nerves in your body, promotes overall relaxation, and gives a fresh feeling every time after usage. Since the chlorine in a salt water pool doesn't include harsh chemicals, it produces water that is softer and silkier to the touch.

In unit washing and drying machines are available for all guests.

The water heater works well on both showers. The bathroom sinks and kitchen sink do not have hot water.
