Green Gold Ecolodge

Caribbean Coast


About 3km south of the dock, this simple solar- and generator-powered retreat, steps from the beach and surrounded by 36 hectares of jungle, is an authentic rainforest hideaway. Run by the charming (and bilingual) Jason and Juliana, it has rustic but comfortable facilities including eight screened-in upstairs rooms (some with dorm beds), a shared open-air kitchen and shared bathrooms.

Jason can arrange hiking, horse riding, fishing and coconut tours. To get there, walk around 40 minutes from the village, arrange for a truck ride from town (around US$10) or arrive by private boat (US$15 from Caño Blanco); reservations recommended. BBQ meals can be arranged.
