Indulge your senses at Camaroncito.
Nourish your soul sleeping in a handcrafted cabana freshened by ocean breezes and calmed by the sound of the surf. Pamper your body with a hot shower open to the rainforest after a therapeutic massage overlooking the Caribbean. Captivate your tastebuds with fresh local produce crafted into healthy yet sumptuous meals. Entice your vitality with a creative cocktail while you learn to dance salsa under the stars on a 600m private sand beach cove nestled in the rainforest.
Our beach resort is in the center of a 600-meter soft sand private beach cove with 16 acres of gently cared-for rainforest behind it. Our four wooden cabanas are nestled amid the dappled shade of coconut and mangrove trees, each with a lovely open terrace view of the beach and ocean to the front, and the lush rainforest behind.
La Ensenada, our included-in-the-price social area, restaurant, and bar, is right on the beach. There is both covered and open space for morning yoga and evening salsa dancing! You will have free use of our beach volleyball, boogie boards, lounge chairs, bamboo beach mats and Turkish towels, water games, and more.
Our Rates Include Everything
Booking directly, here, on the Camaroncito website, ensures the lowest possible price and the most options to choose from. We are listed on Booking.Com, Trip Advisor, AirBnB, and VBRO, but each site charges a 15%+ commission, so our prices on those sites are higher too.
We are a small, family owned and operated business that strives to provide exceptional experiences and reasonable prices accessible to normal people. Our prices include everything you would normally pay for separately at a regular hotel. In addition to the cabana, we include transport, restaurant, full bar, activities, use of beach chairs, etc.
The only payment in addition to our price is hospitality tax. We offer a discount of 3% for payment via direct bank transfer.
Come to Camaroncito to immerse yourself in nature, disconnect from the modern world, and reconnect with each other.
We welcome all guests seeking an eco-friendly vacation, including those from the LGBTQ community, people wanting complete solitude, and those seeking to socialize, exercise and have fun.
Our all-inclusive model ensures you are wined and dined and entertained (or relaxed) to your heart's content. We offer an escape from traffic and crowds, a gift of witnessing wildlife nature in-person, without any cages, and an opportunity to revel in a night sky unaffected by man-made light.
The bulk of our food and drink is sourced and prepared locally, though the bar and spice-rack are international. We bake our own bread and make our own fermented fruit juices and frozen treats. We are building a self-sufficient food forest, aviary and aquaponics farm on site.
Camaroncito is the creation of Ernesto & Sarah, beach bums, nature enthusiasts, foodies, salsa dancers and avid travelers. Our permanent home is on the property, and we personally ensure the delight of our guests, together with our trained team of locals.
From the moment you book, we strive to ensure your satisfaction with a detailed welcome guide, including directions, what to bring/not bring, and seasonal norms. And we respond to all inquiries within hours, not days.
Feel confident that you can bring just a small backpack with swimsuit, water sandals, a shade hat, and light weight clothing, and you will never want for anything.
We even provide rubber boots for hiking the rainforest or horseback riding, rechargeable headlamps for night time use, and natural bug spray. We even launder long stay guest clothes at no charge.
We want you to feel as if you are visiting close friends. Every guest tells us they are far more impressed by our location, facilities, food and service than they ever imagined was possible, despite the amazing photos, videos, and reviews they assessed in choosing us. Please come and be part of the Camaroncito family!
