The crazy dream of a Neapolitan football player, these octagonal thatched huts are a tropical masterpiece. Bamboo huts feature traditional two-tier roofs that offer good ventilation. Rooms, including an attractive dorm, are spare but lovely. There's a congenial atmosphere, plus a yoga deck and a sushi bar, with weekly live music and events such as salsa dancing and movie nights.
It's on a rural property in the process of reforestation. Though the turnoff comes 400m before Santa Catalina (to your left), the property has a hiking shortcut to Playa Estero that's a 10-minute walk. With a shuttle option.
