Accommodation
Travelers will be staying the duration of the trip at an eco-friendly lodge. This home base is a cluster of beautiful, rustic thatched-roof chalets around a swimming pool. This unique eco-lodge was constructed using sustainable building techniques, and the design reflects that of the indigenous Taino community from the region. The communal space includes a fire pit, a volleyball net and is tucked away down a quiet road within walking distance to the beach.
