    jungle oasis
    road quality
    hot water

    chemical-free pool, rustic romantic setting, communal dining experience

    Unpaved roads were a hassle, so be prepared for a bumpy ride!!! Hot water availability was hit-or-miss, leading to chilly showers. The excessive jungle sounds can be disruptive at night, making sleep a challenge!!!

    yoga class
    ocean-view deck

    This place was just an excellent fit for a brief pause in Cabo Matapalo with a good price-quality ratio. The yoga class on the ocean-view deck was an amazing experience, surrounded by nature. Arrive before sunset, as the road can be tricky to navigate in the dark.

    communal meals

    enchanting wildlife encounters and memorable family-style dining create lasting memories

    Every morning was alive with the sounds of howler monkeys and beautiful birds, while the communal meals fostered a warm atmosphere that felt like home. The staff was incredibly accommodating.

    incredible atmosphere
    fresh meals
    unpaved roads
    unpredictable shower water
    excessive sounds

    The atmosphere is incredible, with a vibrant wildlife backdrop of monkeys and colorful birds. Enjoyed the octopus millefeuille, which was always fresh and beautifully presented. However, navigating the unpaved roads was quite a hassle, and the shower water was unpredictable at times. Also, while the location is stunning, the excessive jungle sounds at night sometimes made it hard to sleep.

    welcoming manager
    beautiful grounds
    basic accommodations
    lack of air conditioning
    absence of hot water

    The manager is incredibly welcoming, and the grounds are a wildlife lover's paradise. The yoga class on the ocean-view deck was a highlight, alongside the delightful raw fish meals. However, the accommodations felt basic given the price, and the lack of air conditioning made for uncomfortable nights amidst loud howler monkeys. The remoteness, while charming, meant a long drive on unpaved roads, and the absence of hot water was a letdown.
