The rooms have windows on at least two sides to take advantage of the prevailing winds. Fans are also available. Only energy efficient light bulbs are used, rain water is collected and kitchen waste becomes food for the animals.

Please bring your own beach towels. It is a good idea to bring a flashlight. See the info and links page for additional tips and directions.

Karin is very tolerant but she reserves the right to refuse and evict guests who are disruptive to the harmony of the Hacienda.
