Blue Jay Eco-Lodge

Blue Jay Eco-Lodge Review

Perched along a forested mountainside, these wooden bungalows feel like tree houses; you'll hear howler monkeys and an array of birdsong from your bed. Steep trails lead to the rustic aeries built on stilts, with screens for walls on three sides, comfortable beds, and balconies hung with hammocks. Once you drag your luggage up the hill, you will be rewarded with great views from the upper rooms. Blankets buffer you against the sometimes cool, breezy nights. Blue Jay's three lower cabins are larger, but lack the arboreal charm of the rest. Breakfast is in the open-air restaurant, next to an attractive, blue-tile pool. Head to the nearby beach, or climb the mountain trail behind the cabins, to look for birds.
