Pura Vida Ecolodge FAQ:

VIL jeg have en 4x4 bil? Ja, vores tilbagetog ligger 5 km fra kysten og landsbyen Coronado på en velholdt grusvej ind i de kystnære bjerge. En 4WD bil er nødvendigt.

Er der nogen i Costa Rica, der kan hjælpe mig, mens jeg er der?
Ja, når du bestiller Pura Vida Ecolodge, du vil blive sendt den velkomstpakke, som omfatter alle detaljerne i vores husholderske og hans kone, der dobbelt op som en "concierge service" hele dit ophold. De er meget vidende om området og vil være der ved checkin & kassen og kan hjælpe dig hele dit ophold med noget du muligvis.

ER DER en strand i nærheden, der er let at komme til? Ja, i virkeligheden du er virkelig ganske forkælet for valg. Playa Tortuga er den nærmeste og muligvis en af ​​vores favoritter. Når ned på Costa Nera, er det kun 5 minutters kørsel op langs kysten. En kort køretur videre op langs kysten tager dig til Playa Piñuelas, Playa Ventanas og derefter den fantastiske nationalpark af Marina Ballena og Uvita.

Hvor let er det at finde Pura Vida Ecolodge? Når der bekræfter din reservation, sender vi alle vores gæster en velkomstpakke med meget klare retninger, herunder billeder af vartegn undervejs.

ER DER Restauranter og shopping i nærheden?
Ojochal er den nærmeste by med et virkelig godt udvalg af fine & afslappet spisning. Du kan finde Fusion, italiensk, asiatisk, "Typisk Costa Rica," selv en deli / bageri og en håndfuld store frugt smoothie og ceviche steder. Længere oppe af kysten er der Uvita, igen med en god balance mellem International og »lokale« muligheder ..

ER DER UDFLUGTER & aktiviteter i nærheden? Ja, ja, ja! Igen, kan du finde flere oplysninger om Pura Vida Ecolodge hjemmeside, men der er spektakulære vandfald, naturstier og kaster puljer ret i reserven selv. Det omkringliggende område byder på verdensklasse dykning, snorkling, zip-foring, bådture, mangrove ture, vandreture, stand-up padling, hesteryg ture, canyoning, samt at blive placeret mellem landets bedste nationalparker (Corcovado & Manuel Antonio) og en 20 minutters kørsel fra Marina Ballena Nationalpark. Der er snesevis af maleriske, rolige strande hele vejen op og ned den sydlige Stillehav kyst, med nok aktiviteter og oplevelser på tilbud til at gøre noget helt andet hver dag! Vi kan også anbefale store dagsture til Osa-halvøen, Sierpe og Nuayaca Falls blandt andre og en overnatning indstilling til Mt Chirripo er utroligt, hvis du har tid. For surfere, Playa Dominical har en berømt venstre og højre strand surf pause, og bølger 95% af året. Tættere på lodgen, Playa Tortuga og Ventanas har ofte gode bølger mere for begyndere, eller hvis du er ude efter en næsten privat strand og dyreliv erfaring, kan du få morgenmad eller frokost på La Cusinga og derefter udforske de forskellige abe kolonier. hvis du er heldig kan du få øje på nogle Red Scarlet araer og gæsterne også regelmæssigt se masser af tukaner og forskellige typer af papegøjer. Den 10-min gåtur gennem junglen ned til Playa Arco er værd at trek!

ER DET et roligt kvarter? Ja, Pura Vida Ecolodge er det bedste fra begge verdener. Mens være en helt privat tilbagetog og reserve (både hus, pool og de omkringliggende naturstier) med det orientering betyder, at ejendommen bogstaveligt hænger over junglen baldakinen på den ene side og direkte vender Stillehavets kyst på den anden, vil du have en håndfuld naboer i nærheden i langsomt voksende fællesskab, hvis du ønskede en venlig chat eller endda nogle flere tips om området.

ER DER en købmand i nærheden? Mellem de to »pulperias" (små lokale butikker) på vejkrydset ved Coronado (ca. 5 km væk) vil du have næsten alt du behøver. Der er også en stor fisk / skaldyr sted kun 1 km fra Coronado krydset. For større indkøb, er der to store supermarkeder i Uvita cirka 15 minutter op langs kysten

GIVER Ecolodge har internet? Ja, er huset udstyret med WiFi for internetforbindelse

SOM værelser har aircondition?
Begge værelser har A / C. Der er ikke A / C i resten af ​​hjemmet, men der er loft fans i hvert værelse og Ecolodge er blevet designet med din komfort i tankerne, med store åbne planløsning rum, omgivet af skydedøre, der fører ud på wrap omkring dæk, der betyder der er dejlige friske hav-brise hele.

Fantastic place to unwind

We stayed for a week at the ecolodge and had a fantastic time. It's thoughtfully designed and has great green credentials. The beds and other furnishings are very comfortable The views are stunning and there are plenty of beaches and activities a short car ride away. I would also recommend the mangrove trip with Gersan which can be arranged from the lodge. I only have positive comments about this fantastic property, well worth a visit

Pura Vida Ecolodge

Our stay at the Pura Vida Ecolodge was absolutely incredible! The accommodations were wonderful and we loved waking up to the sounds of the jungle every morning. We explored the jungle and spent hours climbing a waterfall upstream, we loved the boat tour with Gerzan to his private beach where we dined on delicious food made by his wife and sipped fresh coconut water, and we explored 4 beaches, each different in their own unique way and each virtually empty, making each one seem like your own private paradise! We would 100% recommend and return to Pura Vida!

We loved our stay at Pura Vida Ecolodge. Perfect accommodations for our two couples. Excellent pre-visit packages with lots of information about the property and the surrounding area. We hiked the "hundreds of white steps" trail and it turned out to be 614 steps-give or take-each way. Gersan and Illiana were fabulous! The road is a challenge so believe Joe when he says you need 4WD!

Pura Vida Ecolodge - Amazing!

My husband and I went to the Ecolodge on our honeymoon, the booking was very last minute, but Joe & Kiki were quickly able to provide us with more information than we would ever need. The house is better than you can imagine, the location is breath taking, and there are endless opportunities for exploring within the area. The house has everything you need, except for some beach towels, and a pen to sign the guest book. I highly recommend taking the tour with Gersan, it's a wonderful experience, and you'll end up on a private beach with no other tourists. If you're lucky you'll see a family of Macaw's. The house is so peaceful, the pool is nice and cool, and the sounds of the jungle are very relaxing. The house is definitely off the beaten path, but well worth the trek.

This place is amazing. We had such a great time there. The house itself is an architectural gem. Its location is stunning. The view of the mountains, valleys, sky, clouds, and ocean is never failing but ever changing beauty. I couldn't sleep in the morning, partly because sunrise came early, but mostly because I didn't want to miss the view from the bedroom window. Gersan served well as our on-site host. We really appreciated the dinner prepared and served by Gersan and Ilya the day of our arrival. The boat ride with Gersan to his private beach was a real treat, and we were totally blown away when he served us a hot lunch on the beach. The papers that Joe & Kika lovingly prepared are above and beyond anything I have ever seen from an airbnb host and added immeasurably to our experience. This was our first visit to Costa Rica; it will not be our last. I hope to visit Pura Vida Ecolodge again.

Awesome Place

Loved ........Loved the Ecolodge ! Beautiful view, very relaxing ! Close to a lot of activities, and town ! Joe and Kika were great, easy to communicate with and very helpful. All there suggestions were great and the packet which I printed out and brought with us was very helpful !!! Their caretaker Gersan and his family were great too ! I would come back again and even brave the roads !!! You do need a 4x4 !!! We did the boat adventure with Gersan and his brother and I highly recommend it !! Lily his wife made a great lunch !!! The Osa Canopy tour was great too and just down the road . We stayed a week and wish we could of stayed longer ! The place is well protected from bugs, but we did have the occasional visitor and my 18 year old son was in charge of catch and release !!! All in all a great place to recharge !!

Amazing slice of paradise

We quite simply had a wonderful time here. I couldn't agree more with all the other reviews, it's a beautifully thought out house and offers the perfect getaway for anyone wishing to disconnect and relax. Contrary to one comment we enjoyed a beautiful view from the pool, and indeed from the whole house, and had no problems with internet at all. The road was not daunting and was part of the adventure! And well worth the effort in any case. I was lucky enough not to be pestered by any animals, but you are in the middle of a gorgeous forest, so I wouldn't have minded as the setting is just wonderful. Gersan is a great guy! We found it very easy to contact him (we used what's app without a local sim, it worked absolutely fine) and his boat tour was fantastic. Joe was always prompt in his replies and very helpful in the build up to our visit, his 'brochure' which is sent prior to arrival is thorough and very useful. Pura vida!

A paradise on earth

My wife and I stayed in this one-of-a-kind ecolodge for 9 days in February 2016. We rented a 4x4 (which indeed was very helpful) in Uvita Alamo Car Rentals. Joe, the owner, had sent us beforehand detailed information how to get to the house and there waited already Gersan, the local caretaker, and showed us around. What a place! Modern and stylish rooms and interieur, spacious and breezy. From the decks you are almost in the midst of a dense, green jungle (at least very close!) with its vibrant life and all the exotic sounds of nature. What else was remarkable for us: comfortable, large bed, fully equipped kitchen, nice and warm shower and last but by no means least, the cosy little pool. Especially on hot afternoons it was our delight to cool down and look / listen to many birds around. An absolute must is a half day boat tour with Gersan. In his boat he guided us through a tangle of channels, through a maze of mangrove forests, part of the huge Terraba River estuary. It's really difficult to put together a brief description of this fabulous Ecolodge up on the rolling hills of Tres Rios but we have tremendously enjoyed our stay and can recommend Pura Vida Ecolodge thoroughly.

eco luxury

We stayed at the Puravida Ecolodge for 6 days –sure wish it was longer... it was, by far, the best place we have stayed in Costa Rica. Away from the touristy parts of the country, but not too far. It’s a 3.5 hour drive down from San Jose to the dusty village of Coronado (that is if you don’t stop at Manuel Antonio national park on the way as we did.) In Coronado we met Henry that was extremely nice and helpful threw all our stay. From there it's another 10 minutes up hill to the Puravida – (good thing we rented a 4wd – no other way to get there ). Highly recommended place to stay if you are looking for a remote, quiet, private place to get away – just you and the jungle noises – some time intense noises The jungle villa is ideally planed for two couples, with a grate terrace upstairs, you can seat outside even on a rainy day – watch the sunsets over the pacific or stay in the pool on a hot day. All very clean, nicely, simply "eco-luxury" style. thought has been given to every detail, a kitchen with all you need for cooking your own meals and most important – a shaker – that we used every day. There is also plenty to do around the place: wonderful untouched beaches, surprisingly good restaurants – waterfalls, nature reserves, surfing, diving Definitely a place to come back to!!

Beautiful place

The place is stunningly beautiful. All of it: the view, the jungle, and the house that perfectly fits the surroundings. Joe and Kika put a lot of thought and artistic taste to design this place. It is perfectly minimalist in both architectural and consumption sense, while still being very comfortable. Pool and the wooden deck are awesome. It is very secluded and you do feel right in the middle of the jungle sitting in the pool, on the deck or in the living room. Beautifully done! Without exaggeration, it is the most romantic house we ever stayed in. While we certainly spent plenty of time enjoying the place itself, there was not much to do right around the house without driving out to the beach or other destinations. The couple of nature trails are pretty short (back and forth in 20 min). On the second trail you can follow the creek up but that involves scrambling up wet rocks, which we weren't prepared to do with toddlers on our backs :). We would drive to the beach every day. Local beaches were great and we had them all to ourselves half the time. Gersan and Iliana boat tour was a pleasure. The road to the house is fine. Steep at places, but weren't stressed driving up and down with kids every day.

Oh my, I don't even know where to begin! It's not the easiest place to get to but that's not negative at all-it's part of the magic! Our first thought was "someone put their heart and and soul into building this place!" It just has that special quality to it. The groundskeeper Gershan is a lovely young man and greeted us upon arrival. He showed us how to navigate the nuances of the home. We loved opening all the doors and letting the sounds of the jungle in. We had planned day excursions but decide we had to stay one full day and just relax and soak in what this property has to offer. Quick note on the amenities and service. The communication from the owners is amazing. I would advise thoroughly reading the welcome packets they send before you get there and again, once you arrive because EVERYTHING you need to know is there. Also, the beds... To die for! I am looking into buying the CocoMats for home. Best nights sleep ever! I would recommend this to anyone who would like to relax, have a romantic getaway, honeymoon... It's perfect for shutting down and taking in the pure life! We hope that return someday for sure!

Costa Rican Garden of Eden

Arriving late in the afternoon sunshine at Pura Vida ecolodge in the sumptuous Costa Rican jungle felt like arriving in the Garden of Eden! The whole experience was magical and unique and was enhanced by Joe and Kika's attention to detail; they've thought of everything to make our stay as comfortable and life-enriching as possible. The villa is spacious, thoughtfully designed and beautiful; natural and harmoniously respectful of the surrounding beauty by minimsing the impact of our stay. We spent many a warm, sunny afternoon on the outdoor teak deck contemplating the beauty of where we were. The trails and walks from the villa down to the waterfalls in the jungle were great fun and I particularly enjoyed working out on the new yoga deck (a new addition apparently) with views over the jungle and on towards the ocean. The infinity pool is so cool! Such stunning views - I can think of very few places in the world where I can relax in a plunge pool with breath-taking views over the rainforest to the sea. Some memorable afternoons were spent there! Finally, I'd really recommend Gersan's boat trip; another entirely new and unique experience for us; beautiful wildlife through the mangroves to Gersan's 'secret' island; coconut's and galla pinto on a deserted beach in a tropical paradise.....and we didn't see another soul!! Thanks Gersan. Unique one in a life time experience - can't recommend it highly enough. Thank you Joe and Kika.

Paradise in Costa Rica - Pura Vida

Pura Vida Ecolodge is one of the most amazing places we have seen in Costa Rica. It's been the highlight of our trip! The lodge is located on a little hill with the most incredible view on the ocean and the jungle. This place is super peacefull, you can enjoy the sunset while listening to the sound of nature. The sound of all the animals of the jungle in the evening is impressive and so relaxing. The house is built amazingly. All the furniture is modern and natural at the same time. Everything fits together so nicely and with style. We really felt safe and at home in the lodge. If you have the room downstairs you can shower in the morning with a view on the little jungle garden, such a great feeling! The pool on the deck is also a nice touch and real refreshing after a long day in the sun and the heat... And the area installed in front of the house on the edge of the clif is perfect to have an aperetivo at the end of the day or just enjoy the view in the morning. The road to the house was a real adventure, and so much fun with a 4x4! We took it every day to go to the beach close by. Only 15 minutes driving to see amazing beaches... Also we went on the Pura Vida Adventure boat tour with Gersan, the local guide and house keeper. Gersan is super nice and friendly! His wife cooks declicious food for the tour. Great experience that we highly recomand to do while staying at Pura Vida Ecolodge. Gersan will bring you on his boat though the Mangroves to this beautifull isolated beach! Just perfect and really worth it! We hope we will be back very soon!

THE EXPERIENCE IN PURA VIDA ECOLODGE IS DEFINITELY A MUST FOR ALL THE NATURE LOVERS!!!

It was SO GOOD, we extended our trip by 5 days!!! With so much to see and do in Costa Rica, we originally planned to stay at Pura Vida Ecolodge for just a couple of nights, but upon arrival and instantly falling in love with the place, location and the unique lifestyle the retreat offers we decided to make it our 'nest' for the entire week. Highlights for us were the morning nature trails on the edge of the reserve, bathing in the fresh water waterfalls and plunge pools, waking up to the sound of crickets and howler monkeys, watching amazing sunsets and sipping tasty papaya 'batidos' in relax on the lodge's panoramic balconies. The 'rustic' Playa Garca and Mangrove boat tour was a real experience and insight into how the local Ticos live. The adventure getting there through the mangroves and the Rio Terraba was rewarded with a 'delightful' walk on the wide, open and deserted beach with lovely little crabs hiding as soon as we were passing by; sensational seeing how the ocean floods, at high tide with a twist of waves, the strip of land called by locals 'Playa Garca' because of the thousands of birds that visit it every day. Thank you Gersan and Ily ... an amazing day out and a great 'tico' picnic lunch!!! The Isla de Caño trip was also a great excursion as we dived and snorkled and saw loads of turtles, manta rays and even reef shark. It was amusing to take pictures of the dolphins following our boat and to try to catch their best acrobatic performances. Thanks to Kumari at Mystic Dive! Joe & Kika have created something very special at Pura Vida Ecolodge. It has been designed to literally hang over the jungle canopy so you really get the feeling of 'living with nature' and at the same time it has wonderful ocean views. The lodge's plunge pool (by day & night) was special, and being relatively new to 'eco-luxury', we just loved the concept. Loads of stunning and empty beaches nearby (Playa Ballena and Playa Tortuga our favourites) and fresh fish and tropical fruits back at the lodge every day was a winner!

Our Pura Vida Experience

From the beginning booking and preparing for this was easy. Once we had made the booking Joe and Kika were really helpful and provided a complete welcome pack. This covered everything we needed in a simple and clear way (and made us very excited!) In the end we printed out the pack and took it everywhere to help find the beaches and other local places like the local fish shop where we bought some lovely fish. It also covered the practicalities for the lodge, like the safe, and the directions for getting to the lodge that were really helpful, with pictures and distances. Once there, although the pictures are good, it is even better. The views are amazing from the lodge and we never bored of simply sitting on the balcony, drink in hand, watching the weather pass us by, sun go down, and all the nature around us. The lodge itself is open and airy. It is full netted so as long as you keep the doors closed you are quite bug free (relatively as remember you are in the jungle). However, you never feel trapped as it is so simple and open. It is an incredible building with an understated feel of luxury with the two walk in showers, spacious rooms and tall ceilings. We especially loved the sofa where we would have a lovely afternoon snooze under the throws provided. You do need a 4x4 and were pleased Joe flagged this. The final road up to the lodge is a bumpy track but it is fine if you have a 4x4 and after a couple of drives you do not even think about it, night or day. You simply just need to be able to drive sensibly. Locally, the beaches are quite hidden away but secluded and beautiful. The water was really warm. The welcome pack helps and locals were also helpful. Playa Arco was incredible with monkeys and waterfall. That said, you do need to pay $18 to go through the entrance at the hotel, but that includes a walk through their jungle trail, the amazing beach and a piece of cake and juice when you return. We were happy with the money spent! We found a couple of great restaurants but to be honest, often cooked ourselves in the evenings. The kitchen has everything you need which is great including a simple and easy to use bamboo coffee-maker the locals all use. We wanted to get away from the rush of city life and spoil ourselves and this was perfect to do this. If you appreciate what it is and where you are going it is perfect. If you are expecting a 5 star hotel you may still be converted.

Not for everyone

+ amazing view from the property + nice bath robes + howler monkeys + essential oil diffuser + Gerson is truly everything everyone else says about him - amazing! This is truly the jungle! To stay here you must essentially be willing to stay outside with all the animals in Costa Rica! Why? The house is setup in a way that in order to enjoy the views or anything outside you must have the doors wide open and there are no screens. There were lots of bugs in the house upon arrival. Several different kinds that I couldn't even tell you what kind. When you spend a lot of money and you dream of staying somewhere for months you want to love it! We decided to close all of the doors and sit outside of the house to try and make it work and enjoy. We thought that spraying bug spray would get rid of the bugs... Well, it made them all come out from hiding. It was so bad that you couldn't go from one room to another without looking around everywhere. We booked for 10 days and ended staying 6. What took the cake was spraying on the sixth day. We pulled the bed out from the wall because the night before we had bugs fall on the bed and assumed it was because they were attracted to the lights in the room. We sprayed again and came back to find cockroaches in the bed and finally a spider in the kitchen the size of your hand. We packed up and left. We were willing to go to a resort that charged 800 a night to get out of this place. Cheaper options were sold out. We called the owner, we never asked for our money back but he didn't really care. He essentially told us it was our fault and if it was that bad why did we stay 6 nights. We also waited a few weeks after stay and had to ask for our deposit back before he sent it. Additional negatives - The house was dirty. Not clean to our standards. Someone else's toenails in the living room rug. And I don't care what this man responds and says the walls are filthy! He will try to say it's the wall type, please trust me it isn't. - The infinity pool is in the back of the house and there is no view because it's blocked by trees. - didn't matter to us but would for some, the bedrooms are on different levels, not a place for kids. - the owner has a limit on the Internet. It would work each day for a little while and stop working. At first we thought something was wrong but realized what was really going on after a couple days. - 20 minute uphill on rocky road to house. 2 star for architecture of house and view!

Om værten

My wife & I have been visiting Costa Rica for years & bought this little piece of paradise around 8 years ago. We spent the next few years dreaming about, conceptualising & designing Pura Vida Ecolodge (& a lot of time saving!) I then moved over to Costa Rica for 9 months in 2012 & sourced the right architects, engineers & construction team that I thought was right for making our dream a reality - and what an experience it was!!

The main 'House Rules' so to speak are to adopt the 'Pura Vida Ecolodge' philosophy & concept we have worked so hard to create. That means respecting nature, the animals and the magical surroundings of the Jungle Villa and it's reserve. Please remember that given the unique location, you will inevitably have some visitors from the surrounding rain forest during your stay. Whether that be congo monkeys as the sun rises, early morning visits from the the incredibly tame 'pizotes', toucans as the sunsets or even the odd bull-frog having a splash in the pool! Our main goal, as designers, hoteliers and 'conceptualists' is that you are able to leave the 'urban madness' behind and fully enjoy & embrace a unique life up at Pura Vida Ecolodge throughout your stay, whether it be just two days or two weeks, always conscious that our Jungle Villa really is 'A Retreat - A Lifestyle & An Experience.' We ask guests to read the welcome packs & guidebook thoroughly before arriving to Costa Rica so you can fully enjoy your Pura Vida Experience.

Derfor valgte værten dette overnatningssted

Right from the beginning, when we were scouting out the perfect location and developing the concept we always had our backbone philosophy clear. We wanted Pura Vida Ecolodge to be a retreat, a lifestyle and a real experience for our guests.

Having traveled the world extensively, we realized it was time to create something special, luxurious (yet affordable) that cares just as much about the environment as they do about their guests. The Zona Sur of Costa Rica provided us with the platform to make it possible to travel in style without feeling guilty.

At Pura Vida Ecolodge guests soon find out that organic is just as important as stylish, and as Costa Rican government plans to make it the world’s first carbon-neutral country by 2021 we wanted to follow suit. We realized that guests are looking for something new & unique, ready to leave the brashness & bling of hotels behind, only to find a more personal, natural & understated approach – and everyone benefits.

Our goal is to provide guests with an exclusive ocean view private retreat, located amongst a tropical jungle environment. Everything has been designed & created to harmonize our facilities with the surrounding natural beauty the Pura Vida Ecolodge reserve has to offer. Dawn is greeted by sounds of playful howler monkeys, toucans, parakeets & many more potential visitors to the Jungle vacation villa. All this only minutes from the charming villages of Ojochal & Coronado and some of the most pristine beaches in the world.

The lodge has been designed to have a minimum impact on the environment & aims to really 'fit in' with the lush surroundings. Please take into consideration that it is located right above the jungle canopy & while we have tried to design the lodge to be as sheltered & sealed as possible from the surrounding elements, please remember it’s impossible to safeguard 100% against having the occasional visitor from the jungle. That said, if you follow the welcome pack tips, you should be fine.

Derfor er dette overnatningssted unikt

Our mission at Pura Vida Ecolodge is to offer a unique 'Pura Vida' experience with a particular emphasis on 'eco-luxury' based on principles of quality, space, nature, sustainability & pure relaxation. The combo of the Jungle Villa’s airy open-plan design, its unique location hanging over the jungle canopy, its private nature reserve and the extensive amenities available enable our guests to fully unwind and let go, enjoying whatever level of privacy & independence they wish for whilst taking advantage of our knowledgable housekeeper and his local expertise.

Our vision is to distinguish ourselves as a 'nature experience' with a touch of 'eco-luxury' in the field of hospitality and eco-tourism. We aim for a strong sustainable culture with values orientated to guests who search for peace & tranquillity within nature.

The Jungle Villa itself has capacity to sleep up to 6 guests and is the perfect getaway, your chance to leave the urban jungle behind and stay right on top of a real one! With the close proximity to the Pacific Coast, Costa Rica's world famous National Parks, a selection of cloud forests and stunning active volcanoes, Pura Vida Ecolodge appeals to anyone that enjoys the outdoor living! Nature enthusiasts, adrenalin junkies, sport fishers, scuba divers, surfers and of course newlyweds looking for the perfect honeymoon destination.

Friendly disclaimer: We'd like to remind guests that being 'off the beaten track' in this hidden corner of Costa Rica does mean that from time to time we can experience a variability of Pura Vida Ecolodge's infrastructure (such as internet, water pressure & power cuts). While largely unavoidable when they do happen, they are generally short-lived, pretty infrequent & shouldn't manage to interfere with your holiday providing you remember where you are, the ecolodge adventure you've chosen to experience & that things will not necessarily be quite the same as perhaps you are used to 'back home'.
