A gem in the jungle

This lodge was the perfect setup for our family of 4 visiting the Cahuita area for a couple days. Immersed in nature and 5 minutes drive from the village, ideal for those looking for peace and quiet (except for the howler monkeys calls!) as long as you have a rental car. We were welcomed by the very friendly owners who provided a delicious breakfast on demand (great deal given quantity and quality). My favorite part of the house was the bathroom/shower, which has its own inside garden! There is a small kitchen with cooking utensils, and a living room with a sofa, TV, a few board games, and a large dining table. All beds are upstairs in the loft, 2 bunk beds 1 double bed, more comfortable than the ones we've had in other lodges. The lodge is about 1 km from the main road, and is accessed via a gravel road that didn't get muddy despite intense rain, no need for 4x4. It looks like the property has 2 houses for rental, we got the one on the right. The other one looked just as nice from the outside. We were able to park our car behind the gates and felt very safe. There is a separate area for breakfast outside, and the owners have their house on the side. The property has lush vegetation and gorgeous flowers. The owners are very sweet, easy to reach when needed, and respectful of their guests privacy. Wifi worked well. No AC but one fan on each level. Highly recommended, excellent value in the area!
