| El Jardin's rustic, airy, elevated cabins are as close to nature as you can get. They are privately set among beautiful tropical gardens with trails on the property that allow further exploration of tropical fruits and flowers. The beautifully hand-crafted double or triple palapas are unique and have delicate rustic touches. All palapas have decks to take advantage of the breathtaking view of the ocean. Each bed has a mosquito net and most of the beds hang from strong beams. |
Eagle's Nest A cozy casa for two, the Eagle's Nest overlooks the wide, blue bay. It's deck is the best place to watch for whales and dolphins. A favorite for honeymooners. We have just completed it's own bathroom, complete with shower and composting toilet. |
Casa Bamboo This palapa is set among the backdrop of a Bamboo forest. It is perhaps the loveliest of all the casas. It's queen, hanging bed frame is made entirely from bamboo harvested from the grove behind the house. A newly remodeled casa, it comes complete with it's own bathroom including a shower and composting toilet. It is truly a work of art. A new roof of Royal Palm crowns this lovely casa. |
Casa Banana Or sometimes known as "the Cone" because of it's conical shape, contains a full sized hanging bed and 2 twin beds on the main floor and 3 twin beds that could be pushed together on the second floor. This casa is surrounded by banana trees with the newest plantings being a variety called "Dwarf Giants" |
| What to Bring We provide a shelf full of books, some games and playing cards and beach towels. Don't forget binoculars for whale , porpoise and bird watching. A flashlight for each person is essential. The pathways are dark at night! If you don't have your own snorkeling gear, see our caretaker David, who can set you up with what we have. We also have kayaks that rent for $10 a half day. Clothing Days are warm in Yelapa. Shorts and tee shirts or tank tops are about all you need. Evenings in the winter months may require a long-sleeve shirt or light jacket. Don't forget hiking boots if you plan to hike. Crocs, river shoes or flip flops are nice for crossing the river. Personal Items Towels and soap are provided. If you forget anything, most toiletry items are available in pueblo stores. First-aid Kit Each casita has a basic first aid kit. Please bring your own medications and personal supplies. You will also want to bring sun screen and insect repellent. (NOTE: fabric softener sheets, like "Bounce," help keep mosquitoes away.) |
