Who it suits
Couples, families and small groups who want a kitchen and a garden, with the beach and town close enough to walk. The houses give families more room.
Where it is
The lodge is on the main road in Santa Teresa, near the school, about 100 m from the beach. You can walk to the sand, cafés and shops.
What the rooms are like
The houses are built from local wood and look like grown-up tree houses from outside, with big screened windows that let the breeze through. Every unit has a kitchen or kitchenette, so you can cook your own meals with fresh fish and fruit from town.
Accommodations
- Standard Rooms 1 and 2 and the Purple Room: simple rooms for couples.
- Wooden House and Garden House: more space, with a kitchen.
- Casa Gabri, Casa Selma and Casa Ricky: private houses for families and small groups.
Pool and downtime
The garden often draws monkeys, birds and iguanas, so keep your camera handy. Cool off in the pool, work out in the small gym, or book a massage. There’s a bar and lounge for an evening drink, and the lodge can help you set up surf, diving and yoga.
