The Ecolodge Rendez-Vous is a small family-operated eco resort surrounded by lush tropical vegetation - a perfect hideaway for people who want to enjoy their trip in peace and green environment. The Ecolodge is more than just a hotel, it's a lifestyle based on the premise that contact with nature is essential to relieve stress, to rejuvenate and to rediscover a sense of self. The lodge has 11 comfortable, charming Saban-style cottages, each with private porch, hammock, scattered over abandoned terraced farmland that has been recovered by rainforest. All cottages have a porch with hammock, and most have a view of the ocean, a full-size bed downstairs plus two twin beds in the loft. Each cottage has a private bathroom and some are equipped with a kitchenette. Ecolodge is right at the heart of a tropical paradise, connected to mountain paths that wind through the plethora of nature, this is truly what the Unspoiled Queen has to offer. In the construction we have used eco-friendly and recycled materials as much as possible. All buildings are equipped with solar panels for a 12V lighting system. The cottages have Texsport® sun showers, heated by solar energy. Most cottages use Sealand low-flush toilets connected to SunMar non-electrical composting units, producing odorless and pathogen-free compost. Two cottages are equipped with SunMar waterless non-electric toilets.

Green Comment:

The Ecolodge Rendez-Vous philosophy is to provide guests and visitors with intimate contact with nature and wilderness, while using resources responsibly and causing minimal environmental impact. The pure rainwater is collected off the roofs in cisterns. A solar-powered pump pumps the water into a cistern at the high end of the property, providing for gravity flow to all cottages and the restaurant. The Rainforest Restaurant features gourmet cuisine and uses organically grown vegetables from our own vegetable garden. The Rainforest Restaurant is at the very heart of the Ecolodge, a place to meet with your fellow guests. The majority of the world population lives in densely populated areas under stressful conditions, distant from nature and wilderness. We want to bring our guests in close contact with nature, to savor its sounds and flavors, look at starlit skies, become aware of nature's rhythms, and thus relieve your stress. This is why the Ecolodge is in the forest, off the main road, has no vehicular access, no radios or television, and no telephones in the rooms. A solar-powered pump pumps the water into a cistern at the high end of the property, providing for gravity flow to all cottages and the restaurant. About 70% of the vegetables served in the restaurant and all herbs are organically grown in our vegetable and herb gardens.
