Comprising eight spacious, fan-cooled bungalows with thatched roofs, made of sustainable local materials, this eco-hotel invests heavily in the community of Limón Dos, so not only do you get to stay in comfort, but you're also helping local kids get an education. Yoga classes, spa services, and a bistro catering to vegetarians and vegans are some of the perks.
