Xanadu Island Resort

Rezervējiet, ja Book this if you want a quiet, eco-friendly jungle oasis with full kitchens, just a short bike ride from the bustle of San Pedro.
Kāpēc cilvēki to mīl
- Lush, jungle-like grounds with a private nature walk
- Free use of bikes, kayaks, and paddleboards
- Spacious, unique monolithic dome suites with full kitchens
Ātrs apskats: It's a quirky, older eco-resort with no on-site restaurant and a seawall instead of a walk-in beach, but the stellar service and peaceful vibe make it a beloved San Pedro staple.
Pārskatīts: @the.island.traveler: Our family stay at Xanadu Island Resort was incredible. The two-story suite gave us the space we needed, and the full kitchen was a lifesaver. The kids loved the beachfront pool, and I couldn't get enough of the balcony hammock. A perfect, relaxed tropical getaway.

Reality check
The lack of an on-site restaurant means you have to leave the property for meals, and the spiral staircases in the loft suites can be tough to navigate.
- You prefer self-catering with a fully equipped kitchen
- You value eco-friendly practices and lush nature
- You want a quiet, relaxing vibe away from the party scene

BUJ un paslēptie paņēmieni
Viss, kas jums patiešām jāzina pirms grāmatošanas.
Is there a restaurant on site?
No, there is only a small outdoor bar. However, all suites have full kitchens and there are many restaurants within walking distance.
Can you swim in the ocean at the resort?
You can't wade in directly from the sand due to a seawall, but you can swim and snorkel from the end of their long pier.
Is the resort kid-friendly?
Yes, the heated freshwater pool has a shallow section for kids, and the multi-bedroom suites are great for families.
Do I need to rent a golf cart?
It's not strictly necessary since the resort provides free bicycles and is only a mile from town, but a golf cart is fun for exploring further afield.
What is the Sargassum situation?
Like much of the Caribbean coast, seaweed can wash up seasonally. The resort rakes the beach daily, but the smell can sometimes linger.
Are the dome buildings just a gimmick?
No, the monolithic domes are designed to withstand 300 mph hurricane winds and keep the rooms naturally cooler, saving energy.
