Feel sure about your choice.
What can I book?
You can book room #2 with a king bed or room #1 with a queen bed, each for two guests with a private bathroom. They sit at opposite ends of the cabin. If you book both as the whole cabin, up to four guests can stay and the kitchen is for your group's use. There is a family home on the same grounds.
How do the kitchen and amenities work?
The equipped kitchen sits between the two rooms and is shared with guests in the other room when you book just one. There is a table inside your room and a little covered outdoor table, as well as satellite internet.
What are the rooms and ventilation like?
The cabin is made of wood, with fans and mesh screens in place of glass windows. The trees provide shade that helps keep it naturally cooler, although the climate is warm. There is no air conditioning or hot water. The room doors have keyed locks.
How do I get to Tangoré?
We arrange your arrival and send you the instructions on WhatsApp. Check-in is self-service. Free parking is available on the property; the grounds are open, without perimeter walls or a gate.
What is the setting like? Will I see wildlife?
This is a rural setting with tropical vegetation. Howler monkeys, white-faced capuchins or macaws sometimes appear nearby. They roam freely, so sightings cannot be guaranteed. If you see them, watch from a distance.
