The front side of the cabins has a full height sliding door, and the other 3 sides have wooden louvered screened openings offering excellent air ventilation. Each cabin has one queen size bed and can fit in 2 additional single beds. A feeling of warmth is created by the use of hardwoods for the furniture inside the cabin. The hot-water shower is separated from the rest of the cabin by a beautifully shaped colored wall and offers great views of the tropical garden around the cabins as well as views to both the ocean and the forest. Hammocks and comfortable terrace chairs offer perfect opportunities for relaxation after an active day in the rainforest.

The El Remanso Deluxe Cabins are ideal for honeymooners or couples who are looking for a romantic retreat as both Deluxe Cabins offer absolute privacy in the middle of the rainforest.

Each room has a separate entrance with an independent terrace, screened conveniently for privacy with plants.

Deluxe Suites: Each Deluxe Suite in "Casa Poniente" has a king size bed with space enough to add another 2 additional single beds.
