    The bamboo architecture of this place is mind-blowing, giving it a unique and special character. The staff is super friendly and always ready to help with trip planning. The lodges are spacious and equipped with everything you need, including a fully equipped kitchen. The owner is lovely and makes you feel welcomed. The free shuttle service is a great option, and the relaxed vibe of the lodge is exactly what we wanted. a jaw-dropping experience that I highly recommend.

    the bungalows and buildings were clean, comfortable, and had a nice, airy feel to them. the compound itself had plenty of space to relax, including cozy hammocks. the lodge is surrounded by beautiful nature and is just a short 10-minute walk from a world-class surfing beach. the owner Francesco and his team were exceptional in making my stay a fantastic experience. They were friendly and helpful, arranging shuttle services, surf lessons, and scuba diving trips. the Italian chef at the lodge prepared delicious seafood dishes and sushi.

    I had a wonderful time and felt like I was at home. Cons: Nothing to fault 🔹.

    the lodge was absolutely beautiful, filled with calming energy and surrounded by nature. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel welcomed and at home. The private rooms were comfortable with hot water and great water pressure in the bathrooms. it exceeded our expectations and we had a fantastic stay.

    Paths back to the lodge were unlit and difficult to navigate in the evenings.

    The accommodations at this eco-lodge exceeded my expectations. The lodges were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with nice mattresses and pillows. I also appreciated the mosquito nets on every bed. The location of the lodge was perfect for those seeking a quiet and relaxing getaway.

    While the lodges were comfortable, the mattresses were a bit sunken in, which affected the quality of sleep. the lack of air conditioning made the rooms a bit hot, especially during the warmer months.

    We had an incredible stay at the bamboo lodge. the bungalows were spacious, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything we needed. Francesco, the owner, and his staff went above and beyond to ensure we were well taken care of. the highlight was definitely the restaurant, where Francesco's magic cooking hand created unforgettable dishes. the lobster pasta was absolutely divine! the location was perfect, with easy access to the nearby beaches and a peaceful atmosphere at night. Thanks to Francesco and Ale for treating us so well!

    Can't fault anything about it. 😊.

    If you're looking for an amazing getaway immersed in nature, this is the perfect place for you. the location of this eco-lodge is ideal, with just a short walk to the beach and the center of town. the bungalows themselves are comfortable, with unique bamboo structures that give a truly authentic feel. the staff is friendly and accommodating, always willing to help with anything you may need.

    Some minor issues with towel availability and room cleanliness were reported by previous guests.

    The place had a natural ambiance with bamboo huts, which many guests found appealing. According to one reviewer, the Ecolodge provided a quiet and relaxing environment, away from the noise of cars. The owner, Francesco, was praised for his hospitality and cooking skills, particularly his sushi. Additionally, the lodge offered free rides to the beach and town, which was convenient for guests.

    One guest had a negative experience with the staff, who were reportedly drunk upon arrival. The cleanliness of the bungalows was also a concern for this guest, as there were leftover marks and unclean surfaces.

    We loved our stay at Eco-Lodge Deseo Bamboo. the beautifully constructed bamboo cabana provided a private and friendly atmosphere. the super friendly staff, Francesco and Sabrina, went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. They even delivered fresh papaya and pina juice to our cabana and offered to drive us into town. the beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well-equipped. the shower even had the option for hot water. it was a fantastic experience for young families.

    Felt relaxed, no complaints.

    During my Christmas stay, I really enjoyed the beautiful bamboo houses that blended seamlessly with the surrounding nature. the clean and spacious bathrooms were a pleasant surprise, and I appreciated the peaceful atmosphere of the property. having only six beds in the room allowed for a more intimate and comfortable sleeping arrangement, perfect for a relaxing getaway.

    Although I loved the tranquility of the location, it was a bit inconvenient being far from both beaches. the kitchen was not well-equipped and quite small, making it challenging if you planned on cooking your own meals.

    This eco-friendly lodge in the middle of the jungle offers spacious and beautifully decorated bungalows. The restaurant run by Francesco and his magic cooking hand is a must-try, especially the delicious lobster pasta. The variety of tours available, such as diving, snorkeling, horse riding. The lodge is also conveniently located, within walking distance of the main village, restaurants, and the beach.

    Felt very special, no complaints at all.
