Sustainable Caribbean Bungalows Nestled in a Tropical Jungle
High in the leafy canopy of thick, verdant jungle, the Samasati Nature Retreat's house restaurant, with its walls composed of waving palm fronds, lets in the air from outside. Colorful vegetarian buffet-style meals make up the menu, concocted from locally grown fruit and vegetables in the resort's personal garden and neighboring plots. While guests absorb the earthy flavors, the mind releases itself from the confines of routine; here, visitors retreat from the din of chirping computers, laboring air conditioners, and revving engines. This secluded, all-natural resort plugs by with an eye toward simple, healthful living, and it basks in the beauty of its pristine island setting.
Each private Caribbean Bungalow room comes dressed in polished chocolate wood, and its no-frills feel encourages travelers to enjoy the view of the mountains, the dense jungle, and the jade waters of the Caribbean in the distance. Like the restaurant, these king or queen private villas are styled with Afro-Caribbean sustainable architecture that limits the need for hissing electronics. Fresh jungle air and the tweets of passing toucans stream through the always-open windows.
A flat plain of low green grass pokes out of the center of the resort, buttoned down by a bubbling hot tub that overlooks the lush Costa Rican countryside. Guests siphon off stress here in the frothing pool, and just down the hillside they can extend their bliss with a massage at the spa.
Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica: Home to Pristine Beaches and Colorful Creatures
Sheet-white beaches lined with coconuts trees reside 4 miles from the wilderness that surrounds the resort. The rich ecological atmosphere plays host to butterflies, swinging monkeys, marsupials, and more than 500 bird species, and the underwater landscape swims with tucuxi dolphins and sea turtles. Samasati Nature Retreat sets up guests with many eco tours to explore Costa Rica's immaculate environs, including surfing, snorkeling, kayaking, waterfall treks, hiking, and horseback riding.
The town of Puerto Viejo is just a few miles from the resort and serves up a smorgasbord of Afro-Caribbean flavors. Dotted along its roads are quaint shops and watering holes as well as restaurants that cook up authentic Costa Rican dishes with coconut milk. Calypso and reggae sounds thump in the humid air, and brightly colored houses add vibrancy to the dusty street corners.
