Relax and take a dip in our refreshing salt water pool.

Completely off grid - no town, no restaurants or stores, just a handful of inhabitants and the wild jungle and amazing right point breaks.

Experience 5 star cuisine in the middle of the rainforest

Food is a huge part of Encanta La Vida and has always been an important part of the Hennessy’s life.  With Katie being a chef and Mike always providing the fish and Brisa taste testing in the kitchen it was not a question this eco lodge had to revolve around good food and another beautiful way to share and connect.

You are going to be amazed at the sustainable organic cuisine our local trained chefs will create for you right in the middle of the jungle. From traditional Gallo Pinto, to Coconut Tico Ceviche or Blackened tuna with a Teriyaki Tamarind sauce, orange sweet potato mash and local roasted vegetables.  Our restaurant uses locally sourced produce, our own eggs and fish caught by Captain Mike!
