Simple beachfront hotel in a remote natural setting, offering a base for exploring the wildlife-rich forests and mangroves of Charco Verde Nature Reserve.

This family-owned hotel is located directly beside Charco Verde Nature Reserve and right on the fringes of a lovely, semi-private beach on the lake.

There is an abundance of exotic wildlife in the area – monkeys, deer and colourful birds are frequent visitors to the hotel grounds.Guests stay in rustic but spacious cabins, each with a veranda where you can take in the tropical breeze from your hammock. There is also a restaurant and bar overlooking the lake.

The main attraction of the hotel is the chance to explore the surrounding jungle, lagoon and mangrove forests on a network of trails. A particular highlight is ascending the nearby hill to enjoy the panorama over the island and towards Maderas Volcano. Bikes and kayaks are available for independent exploration.
