Stayed here 2 nights on Halloween and Dia de Los Muertos. Due to unforeseen traffic, we arrived late at night via private boat, and Norma and her security guard waited at the dock for us with spotlights to guide in the boat, and carried our luggage up to our casita. We were a little skeptical at first due to some mixed reviews about ants and not having hot water, but we were pleasantly surprised to find no ants, and only a few small flying bugs, typical for any lake house. Each casita is heated by gas/propane tanks, which have to be switched out frequently. Whenever the water got cold, we messaged Norma and she switched out the tank right away (super hot water). We got up at 5am each day to watch the sunrise from the dock, which was amazing, with two volcanoes erupting in the distance. 5 min tuk-tuk ride outside of San Juan, so super peaceful and quiet, and only a 10-min walk into city limits (15 min to town center). We will come back to Principitos for sure, with friends!

Principitos Universe was even better than the pictures! Very beautiful surroundings right on the lake. The villa was spacious with everything we needed for a weekend stay. It was easy to get to San Juan by tuk tuk and boat. Host was friendly and responsive. I highly recommend.

Principito’s Universe is an absolutely beautiful & peaceful getaway. You are surrounded by beauty and nature. The hostess, Doña Normita, was very warm & is extremely responsive. The Little Prince theme is perfect for this vacation stay. The temazcal is a must & helped take all the stress of the world away. In addition, it is in the little Prince’s Asteroid B-612. They have coffee that is grown there. Be sure to buy some! My family and I loved it. We will definitely be back.
