We loved our vacation adventure at Rancho Caphe Ha! The pictures and description on this listing are very accurate. The owner is honest and easy to work with, and the caretakers are great. Manuela is a fine cook and keeps the place very clean, while Roberto keeps the grounds tidy and beautiful. This place is beautiful, private, remote, and rustic. The beds are very comfortable; the sheets and towels are soft, clean, and smell great. The kitchen is basic, though fully functional. It is a place to go if you are looking for "off the grid" relaxation; an opportunity to connect with nature, yourself, and who you are with. It is the perfect antidote to a busy, stressful, hyperactive life. Not a soul walked by on the beach the entire week we were there! In fact, we walked down the beach every day and never saw another person. There is a beautiful coral reef, teeming with tropical fish, just a 5 minute walk down the beach, and a short swim out. For a little evening entertainment we brought an iPod with portable (rechargeable battery) speakers, and a laptop to watch movies. The road getting down to Rancho Caphe Ha is challenging (rent a 4WD), but we did see a road grader in operation on our way home - it had gotten from the Sian Ka'an entrance arch all the way to the public beach near the reserve tower/nature center in just few days. We had a fabulous time at Rancho Caphe Ha - thank you Guy!
Recommended for:Adventure seekers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, families with teenagers.
