LONELY PLANET
You will find this pristine and excellent lodge on the ocean. Constructed entirely from fallen tropical hardwoods, the luxurious, spacious and very private cabins have shiny wood floors and beatifully finished fixtures. All of the units and the main house are powerde by solar or hydroelectric power and the owners (rightly) take a great deal of pride in not using pesticides. Each cabin has a tiny moat around it that prevents ants from entering the room and bedroom areas are screened.
FODOR’S
Find tranquility and understated elegance at this retreat in a forest brimming with birds and wildlife, 400 feet above a beach studded with tide pools. Luxurious cabinas have louvered, screened windows, large verandas, and showers behind curving Gaudi-like walls…excellent meals use local produce and are served on a shaded deck restaurant. The property reflects the owners conservationist ideals.
FROMER’S
A 78 hectare (195 acre) sprea tucked away on the Pacifi side of Cape Matapalo, the charming ecolodge has its own hiking trails, waterfalls, and a couple of small ziplines (guests can breakfast in the canopy on a tree platform), besider a bar/ restaurant, Jacuzzi, and yoga platform. The digs consist of three freestanding one-bedroom cabins, a two-storey bungalow, and a three bedroom house that sleeps up to a 10 ; all have screens, electricity, and great jungle and water views. If the place looks familiar, by the way, you might have caught it on MTV’s Trippin’, when Cameron Diaz, Jessica Alba, Kelly Slater and Kid Rock stayed here to promote saving the rainforests. It’s a bit of a walk down to the beach.
