Hotel Eclypse de Mar Acqua Lodge

Hotel Eclypse de Mar Acqua Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"Eclypse del Mar is a uniquely, beautiful location. We stayed both in the overwater bungalows and the treehouse so we were able to enjoy the ocean and forest views. We were thrilled to be able to feed the fish through the opening in the living room floor of the bungalow. The staff is so welcoming, friendly, and helpful. Rashi, JJ and Francesca made us feel right at home. We had some of the best animal sightings at the reserve, including a mother sloth, travelling the treetops with its twins and were able to feed a big caiman and two little ones. It was absolutely amazing."
