The hotel consists of 25 bungalows that lie under giant trees in a forest so dense that the sunrays hardly touch the ground. Each bungalow is placed over a platform lifted on stilts, with orchids hanging from the branches.

The perfect design on all the bungalows let you experience the Caribbean rainforest at its fullest, letting in the sounds of the crickets, cigars, frogs, howler monkeys, and when it rains the tapping of the rain over the leaves, creating a soothing lullaby at night and a magical natural alarm clock in the mornings.

Electrical appliances have been minimized to annoy the surrounding rainforest as less as possible. Each bungalow has a mini-bar, a desirable amount of light fixtures and side lamps, a hair dryer, biodegradable shampoo and conditioner, hammock and one or two floor fans to keep the rooms cool when necessary.
