Ecolodge Rendez-Vous Review

This nature lover's retreat is buried deep in the rainforest off the Crispeen Trail. A small, family-operated eco-resort, it is enveloped by lush vegetation and is the perfect hideaway, especially since its accommodations can be kept mosquito-free. The owners prefer to say that they are not a hotel, but a lifestyle based on a close encounter with nature, with an aim of "rediscovery of a sense of self." Accommodations are spread across nearly a dozen small Saban-style cottages, each with a private deck and hammock. You live as Sabans used to -- that is, by candlelight after dark. The lodge is solar powered, coming with "sun showers." Most of the vegetables served in the restaurant, and certainly the herbs, are home grown, as are the fruits, such as Surinam cherries and bitter skin oranges.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; outdoor pool; hot tub

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
