4 Tentaloos Guaria’s furnished campsites are our very own design and
hand crafted by a local tailor. Made with spacious watertight canvas
(11.5 by 13 feet wide or 3.5 by 4 meters), each campsite has high
ceilings and large over-hanging roof eaves; large screened windows
maximize freshness and air circulation. Each campsite is raised
on a firm wooden platform; furnished with solid wooden bed(s) with
orthopedic mattress, and a hammock. Mosquito nets are available
upon request - although found not to be necesary. Elegantly tiled
bathroom and shower facilites are located a stroll away with spacious
women and men’s shower rooms for dressing. The tents are cool
and fresh for a good tropical night’s sleep and can accommodate
a couple, 2 individuals, or parents with child. Each camp site is
privately tucked into the gardens in close proximity to the main
lodge, dining hall, bath house, and less than 100 meters (328 feet)
from the beach. Essentially the Lapa Lapa Lodge’s huge and
spacious lounge area on the first floor serves as the campsite’s
living room! These are out-of-the-ordinary ‘campsites’!
This is Guaria’s secondary main lodge, featuring the dining halls and kitchen, office, internet cafe, and the bathhouse for the tent bungaloos. The second floor houses the administrator’s headquarters. The Lawns: On the East and South side of the Lapa Lapa Lodge there is over 3000 square feet of lawn space planted with a wonderful short and soft green grass. These areas, surrounded by gardens are ideal for Yoga and Tai Chi as well as camping. Meals are served three times a day, prepared with the utmost of
care to provide fresh, natural, and nutritious cuisine; scrumptious,
home-cooked vegetarian and/or fish, chicken, meat; home-baked bread,
fresh seasonal fruits and juices. The harvest from the culinary
garden and fruit trees, depending on the season, are added to the
table. Organic coffee, tea (herbal and otherwise), and hot chocolate
are available all day long.
Dining & Kitchen Facilities La Choza’s dining room is a friendly chamber with round tables.
We like the round table concept. This way everyone is at an equal
distance from each other and makes each meal all the more unique
for conversation and sharing experiences. Bamboo walls look out
onto the gardens and sunroofs fill the dining room with light. The
kitchen is conveniently located behind a rich wooden Nazarreno Purple
Heart coffee/herbal tea/hot chocolate bar. And then there’s
the fragrance of fresh foods being prepared by our kitchen staff
enjoying their creative love of cooking accompanied with Spanish
giggling. The dining room is also a great place to sit around and
talk, play games or study.
Tiled Showers in Bathhouse is ornamentally crafted and decoratively tiled. There
are 2 shower rooms with 2 showers/room; 4 washbasins; 3 beautifully
tiled bathrooms with 3 flushing toilets. The shower rooms are decorated
with tiled mosaics of a whale breaching in one and a whale fluke
in the other. Two sinks tiled with mosaics, shells, and tiles of
playing dolphins, are for hand and face washing; hanging above each
sink are two handcrafted, rich-blue framed Ecuadorian mirrors that
make this outdoor wash place memorable; and then there is a pila,
as called in Costa Rica, for washing clothes. Growing in proximity
and permeating the air with its fragrance are Gardenia Bushes, Jasmine
Vines and Ylang Ylang Trees. There are several outdoor showers tucked
in the palm trees; off the beach showers for washing bodies, surfboards,
boogie boards; and foot pools at the Lapa Lapa doorways to wash
your feet before entering. Lighting in the evenings is by solar energy! This provides ample energy to charge video camera batteries and electric shavers. An inverter provides 110 AC current with 110v sockets. Due to our limited electrical supply, we have dim overhead lamps in the rooms and stronger reading lights in two shared areas. Due to limited solar, we have a 10 pm light curfew. Please bring reading rechargeable batteries and head lamps for night reading. |
