Casa Cayuco Eco-Adventure Lodge

This is such a dream vacation spot! Even getting there is an adventure, as you have to go by boat or water taxi. The staff were so attentive. Every day, twice a day they came to suggest which adventures would be best based on the weather and let us decide which activities, if any we wanted to participate in. We went to "Monkey Island" and "Sloth Creek" one day. The monkey experience was up close and personal, for sure. We got to hold, pet or feed 4 different kinds of monkeys. We must have seen 7 or 8 sloths at Sloth Creek. We snorkeled in a mangrove area. There were a lot of brightly colored coral, starfish, jellyfish, sea urchins and sponges and even a seahorse! We toured the local village as well and explored a bat cave! The bat cave was so cool but definitely not for the faint of heart. It was a very adventurous adventure. The food was awesome. Very fresh and very tasty. Drinks and smoothies were reasonably priced and also delicious. The accommodations were unique. We stayed in the Loro suite which is bascially open air with just a mosquito net around the bed. It felt like camping. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. On site at the lodge there was a caimen that we spotted several times, some turtles and a sloth family with a baby! For anyone looking to have a unique and adventurous vacation, this is absolutely the place to go! There were a lot of families with kids as well, so it's absolutely family friendly.

Our family spent 6 nights. It could not have been more perfect. We had read all the reviews and thought "too good to be true," but it was better! The location was beautiful. We were truly off the grid, but pampered in comfort. The food was delicious, fresh and healthy. The staff was incredibly friendly and made us feel like family. We had adventurous and educational excursions every day. We hated to say good-bye. Our kids (13 and 15) are begging to go back.

Very organized and relaxing. Planning was easy and thoughtful. We received an email prior to arrival to make sure we had snorkeling equipment the right size for every family member. Pick up was smooth and we could tell from first setting foot on the boat that we were in good hands! (Thank you Jose!) It only got better from there. The surroundings were beautiful and felt intentionally in sync with nature. We always had easy opportunities to participate in an adventure or relax by the water. We enjoyed spending time as a family and with so many like minded families from Europe and the US.
