Enjoyed every bit of my stay at Ecolifestyle lodge. WiIshed we stayed a little longer. Staff was extremely accommodating. It was peaceful and safe. The views from our room (soup bowl) was breath taking. And listening to the ocean waves and breeze in the morning was everything. If you like low key and chill vibes. This is the place to stay.

If you’re looking for direct beach access, this is not the place. If you’re looking for pool access and a makeshift beach, you’d be all set! The vibes were very relaxing. Staff, for the most part were great; friendly, welcoming, sweet, etc. Not too much of a party experience while we were there- but the piano lounge can get lit. The property overall is nice, but could use some upgrades- including ada accessibility improvements. For example, there were no elevators. If I were to come back I’d prefer a balcony next time; but I couldn’t bring family, due to this.
