FAQ & Geheimtipps
Alles, was Sie vor der Buchung wirklich wissen möchten.
Do I really need a 4x4?
Yes. Do not try this in a sedan. The road is steep, gravel, and bumpy.
Is there AC?
Yes, all villas have air conditioning, though many guests prefer opening the glass walls for the breeze.
How far is the beach?
You are looking at it, but it's a 15-minute drive down the mountain to actually touch the sand.
Is breakfast included?
Yes, a highly-rated à la carte breakfast is included in the daily rate.
Is there a gym?
Yes, there is a fitness center on-site, though it is boutique-sized like the hotel.
Can I see whales from the hotel?
Yes! During whale season (Aug-Oct especially), guests report seeing breaches from their balconies.

5 Dinge, die Sie wissen sollten, bevor Sie losfahren
💡The 'jungle noise' isn't background white noise; it's a full-volume immersive experience.
💡You might get a visit from a coati or monkey right on your deck.
💡The outdoor bathtubs are a major highlight—bring bath salts if you're fancy.
💡The wifi is surprisingly good for being stuck to the side of a mountain.
💡You can't just 'walk into town' for dinner; you are committed to the mountain unless you drive.
