Frogs, Bats & Snakes

Nocturnal adventures are like no other. Armed with night scopes and flashlights, adventurers head out at dusk with Tómas, venturing towards the lagoon and waterfront in search of animals that go about their business under cover of darkness - snakes, bats, marine toads, crocodiles, and nocturnal mammals such as the kinkajous and mapaches.
Guests listen to the symphony of frogs and night birds, especially on a full moon. Stare back at the many eyes you will find staring at you!
Early morning excursions offer guests the opportunity to track and use all five senses plus common sense to follow a trail through the jungle to see, hear and smell signs of animals that have trodden only hours or moments before. Guests depart at sunrise in search of wild peccaries, pizotes, agouti, lizards, as well as signs of wild cats. Observe the movements of animals through tracks, scents, and other signs including scat, hair and beds. Also, when you are not looking down, take time to look up at the lush canopy to see white face monkeys swinging in the branches or see some of the 275 species of birds, including the chestnut mandible toucan, sited at Playa Nicuesa.

The Mango
Guest House is a 2 story accommodation that has 4 private rooms. Set in a
beautiful jungle garden area with mango trees on all sides and open views of
the surrounding rainforest. Each room has private entrance, beautiful
hardwood floors, private bathroom, private terrace, louver doors and windows
that wrap around the room to afford panoramic views. Rooms have queen beds
(or twin beds upon request) with mosquito netting and ceiling fans. The Mango
Guest House is separate from the Main Lodge. 
The mango house is great for all types of travelers. Especially a good choice
for friends or families that want to be close, but also have the privacy of
your own room with private bathroom. Also great for single travelers or those
who are a bit nervous about staying in the jungle, as the mango rooms are more
in an open area then the private cabins that are tucked into the rainforest.
Also
great for parties of approximately 6-10 that want to rent all 4 rooms at once.
These
cabins are very private and set apart from all other accommodations .Tucked
into the rainforest affording you a unique feeling of being in an amazing
natural setting, yet with design and comfort details that has been described
as simple yet jungle chic. Each cabin has a private entrance, beautiful
hardwood floors, private open air shower-bathroom, private terrace, louver
doors and windows that wrap around the room to afford panoramic views. Cabins
have queen beds (or twin beds upon request) with mosquito netting and ceiling
fans. The garden open air shower is within the cabin's bathroom, yet allows
you to look at nature all around. Look out for the peeping monkeys! 
This
is a private cabin much like the single cabins but larger with two bedrooms
and a common den that can also be converted for another bedroom. This is a
great choice for families, especially with younger children. The cabin is set
at the edge of the jungle but only a few steps from the main lodge building.
Each cabin has a private entrance, beautiful hardwood floors, private open air
shower-bathroom, private terrace, mosquito netting over the beds, ceiling
fans, louver doors and windows that wrap around the room to afford panoramic
views of the jungle. 
The cabin has one large bathroom complete with our signature
garden open air shower that is designed to allow you to look at nature all
around. The cabin can accommodate up to 5 people. 
However,
we recommend that families with older children or groups of adults that want
to be near each other also consider two rooms in the mango guest house. Two
rooms in mango guest house will give you more privacy amongst your group and
an additional bathroom.
