Early this year we opened up our final addition to Pachamama, our new Casita. In typical Caribe fashion we have had a hard time getting good pictures of it to put on the website because our camera is not very good, or it has been occupied when someone is here with a good one, so we decided to at least announce it on our blog. People have been enjoying the Casita because it is its own comfy little house, is right in the middle of  a set of trees and gardens where birds and butterlys cruise by and monkeys often cross right over the roof, it has a good sized patio with a couple hammocks and comfortable chairs, and a fully equipped kitchen. 

This is an old picture before we brought in the super plush queen mattress and enclosed the ceiling fan inside the netting over the bed for supercooling, but it helps see the room better.

The Casita is a free standing 30 sq meter (6mx5m foundation) one bedroom one bathroom house with fully equipped kitchenette (sink, 2 burner stove, fridge, utensils). It is similar to a studio apartment.

The covered patio is 2 mtr x 5mtr with seating and hammocks, and an uncovered garden patio for enjoying the garden setting and forest views. The Casita is in a shady garden setting, the floors and shower are in ceramic tile, and it furnished with a queen sized bed enclosed in netting with its own ceiling fan, quality mattress and bedding, vanity/closet, safe, and is fully secure and has ceiling fan and full screening to block bug entry and allow airflow even when all windows and door are closed.

We did not have to cut any trees to make room for the Casita so the monkeys are often seen swining right over the roof, all of the wood came from Costa Rican reforestation farms, and the construction was done by local craftsman. We call the Casita our final addition because we would have to cut old forest trees to build more, and just having four units keeps a nice cozy feel for our guests. The rate for the Casita is $65 a night/$350 a week which includes taxes and of course breakfasts and other meals served on the patio are available, as are bikes, snorkeling equip, kayaks, and boogie boards.

We’ll work on pulling together better pictures and hope you’ll come check it out in person
