Fodor's e Find tranquility and understated elegance at this retreat in a forest brimming with birds and wildlife, 400 feet above a beach studded with tide pools. Luxurious cabinas have louvered, screened windows, large verandas, and showers behind curving Gaudi-like walls...excellent meals use local produce and are served on a shaded deck restaurant. The property reflects the owners conservationist ideals.
Lonely Planet: "You will find this pristine and excellent lodge on the ocean. Constructed entirely from fallen tropical hardwoods, the luxurious, spacious and very private cabins have shiny wood floors and beautifully finished fixtures. All of the units and the main house are powered by solar or hydroelectric power and the owners (rightly) take a great deal of pride in not using pesticides. Each cabin has a tiny moat around it that prevents ants from entering the room and bedroom areas are screened." 2005
Time Magazine: "Smaller boutique hotels, such as El Remanso on the Pacific Coast, have found ways to be environmentally conscious from the ground up. Fallen wood was used to build El Remanso's roomy cabins, so no rare hardwood trees were logged. Each unit is surrounded by a moat of moving water that keeps ants out of the rooms, eliminating the need for pesticides." 2004
