Punta Caracol

 

Built over the Caribbean Sea, along a mile long coral reefed coast, Punta Caracol is constructed using the traditional methods of the Archipelago: each handsomely crafted cabin is built upon stilts which support a wooden frame over the water and covered by a palm leaf roof - an unforgettable habitat congruent with the native communities of the region.

Natural building materials offered by the rich nature of the region were used- different kinds of native woods and plants, clays, leafs, bamboo, wild cane and others. The result is a warm close-to-nature ambience that takes us back to our origins.

 

At Punta Caracol acqua-lodge the ancient crafty construction techniques are combined with the most advanced alternative energy creation systems such as the solar panels, which are present at the restaurant and in all suites, and gas cooling in all our refrigerators and freezers, as well as the coupling of a sewage purifying system using state-of-the-art aerobic systems for micro-processing and sewage treatment.

 

             

 

The hotel features 5 suites, 3 luna suites and one master suite.

 

The 5 Punta Caracol Suites consist of two stories that together provide 50 m 2 of interior surface and 25 m 2 in its terraces, in addition to a platform at the water's surface with stairs to access the green, crystal clear waters surrounding it.

The king size bed is located in the upper room, from where you can enjoy an incredible view of the bay through an ingenious window through the palm roof, while your two individual beds are in the lower room, with a bathroom.

All the Punta Caracol suites are joined to the main dock by independent fingers, except for numbers 3 and 4, which share a finger, due to live corals that got in the way which we decided to protect (each anchoring post in Punta Caracol acqua-lodge was placed respecting the natural contour of the coral reefs around it, after a meticulous two-year environmental impact study).

 

The three Luna Suites, besides everything mentioned above, have side halls that encircle it, bigger front and rear terraces, and they also have a hammock, hanging chair and larger bathing / solarium platform.

 

Master Suite is the best architecture work in Punta Caracol acqua-lodge. Its exclusive octagon design confers it attractive, provocative and sheer spaces. It has about 100 m 2 of interior surface, and over 60 m 2 of outer terraces, it has side terraces and another terrace in the upper level, which gives it a spectacular panoramic view.

The Master Suite has a king size bed in the upper room, and four twin (individual) beds in the lower room and also have a hammock and hanging chair.

 

In Addition all Suites have hot water, and 12-volt electric power supplied by the solar panels installed in its thatch roof.

In order to make your stay with us more comfortable, all our Suites have complements offered to each guest upon his arrival at Punta Caracol acqua-lodge, such as mineral water bottles each night, raincoats, umbrellas, flashlights, snorkeling equipment, beach towels, reading lamps and a hygiene kit.
