The classic was great for just my husband and me. We stayed in Sol half the time, and a garden cabina the other half, in order to afford an extended stay. The garden cabina was fun, a bit hot. At Sol,monkeys swung through the trees and even on the roof of our canina, Fine ocean view and breezes. Yes, one hammock and a chair.
The outdoor garden shower with butterflies flying amongst the flowers, and monkeys right above us was pure heaven.

Thank you Cattail! Your reply is so helpful and speedy! Sol does sound super nice. Was Sol you favorite of the three classic cabinas?

Sorry,I didn't see the other cabinas, sparklegem. Sol was recommended to me by "shillmac", a regular contributor (where are you,shill?) who I became very friendly with, and even met.She's visited BdC many times, and I trust her judgement.

The only caveat is that I'm not sure if Sol will feel a bit cramped shared with a teenager - been there,done that, lol!

Is Sol the one with the great view from the shower that shillmac always talks about?

Btw, there are only 2 classic cabinas now - Sol & Bambu. Pizote is now a deluxe with a loft after it's remodel last year. You also may want to ask about Cabina Aracari, that is the newest one. It is above Vista Mar and has been remodeled to be a 2 bedroom with a balcony.

vc, yup!

Thank you for all the great cabina info! Cabina Aracari must be the super secret cabina Are there photos of it anywhere?

Oh! I just found some photos on FB:

Wow, aracari looks super nice - pretty swanky.

I wonder where it falls in the pricing.

I have been exchanging emails with BdC today! I am so excited! We are going to stay in Casa Blanca for the first four nights and then move into two cabinas for the last three nights. I am just waiting to hear back from them as to which cabinas are available.

Thank you everyone! I was so disappointed when it seemed like it was not going to work out but now I am thrilled that we will be traveling back to my very favorite place!!

Just happened by. . . .

We stayed in Sol a few years ago with our grown daughter. It worked out just fine. She and I slept together and DH had a bed all to himself. It worked out just great for a few nights. Did I ever mention Sol has such a nice open shower?

Hi girls!

Hi, shillmac! Whenever I read about Sol, I think of you in the shower!

Uh, once or twice....

Hi everyone! The two cabinas that they are reserving for us are Tucan and Manglillo. My parents will stay in one and my husband, duaghter and I will share the other.

Shillmac, so the loft was fine? Hmm, what happened in the shower?

We've stayed in Tucan - it's excellent. Lots of monkey sightings and an outdoor bathtub. It has a loft too.

Thank you, Volcanogirl! It does sound nice!

Did anyone sleep up in the loft? I have been wondering what it is like to sleep up there and if there are fans and lights.

It's pretty basic up there. It had two simple beds with mosquito netting and a little table in between them with a small light, almost like a little gooseneck desk lamp, on it. I can't remember if there was a fan or not. We slept downstairs, and we did have a small plug in fan down there. We used it too - humid and temps in the 80s at night. If I remember correctly, part of the roof is open a little bit to allow for ventilation, but I think it would be warm in the loft. The tub is really cool - it's covered in mosaic tile. When we were there, Tucan and Mariposa were the only two that had the tubs. Two guys were staying in Mariposa and using the tub to store their beer!

Thank you for all of the details! You have been such a tremendous help!
