Frommer's Review

This small collection of individual cabins and two-story units is set in a deep patch of primary forest bordering Bosque del Cabo. The best view of the ocean, over and through thick forest, can be had from the two-story deluxe La Vanilla unit, which can be rented whole, or split into two separate one-bedroom affairs. The upstairs room here is the best in the house, with plenty of space, varnished wood floors and a spacious balcony. If you want an individual cabin, Azul de Mar has the best view. All of the private cabins feature polished cement floors, a queen bed, and separate fold-down futon. There is a host of adventure activities available on the grounds here, including tree climbing, waterfall rappelling, and a zip-line canopy tour. They also have a large, open-air yoga platform, and frequently host yoga groups. The newest addition here is a small oval pool set in a stone deck area with great views to the ocean. The meals here are fresh, filling, and expertly prepared. Breakfasts can even be taken on a platform high atop a rainforest tree. The owners are committed to environmental protection. In fact, Joel and Belen Stewart met aboard the Greenpeace vessel Rainbow Warrior, which Joel captained for a number of years.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; small pool; tour desk; laundry service
