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.
