Since Hotelito chooses not to have conventional electricity, the hotel supplies a flashlight in every room for your personal use. Imagine camping with luxury linens, gauzy netting draped seductively over the bed, and the romance of candles everywhere… There is no electricity; candles provide illumination at night, and solar-powered ceiling fans provide optional in-room cooling. Cleverly disguised solar panels and hot water holding tanks are located outside each room, where water for showers is stored until needed.

With a symphony performed by cicadas, birds and the ocean, you'll know this is no ordinary getaway; this is a place where you increase your sensibility to new sensations. This uncommon resort has been constructed in the style of an old Mexican fishing village. Accommodations are in 'Palafitos', bungalows of indigenous construction, built on stilts over the edge of the estuary that surrounds the main group of structures. The décor of each Palafito has been modeled after the Mexican lottery, a type of bingo game that uses images rather than numbers.

A variety of Mexican specialties are prepared with the finest ingredients, with an emphasis on seafood, fresh fruits and vegetables, some of the products are grown in the hotel garden. An inventive system for morning room service - from the comfort of your bed, pull a rope and a red flag is hoisted, signaling that you're ready for your coffee ("Café de olla").

We suggest you bring cotton clothing, a light sweater or shawl, and walking shoes or sandals for making your way around the beach sand pathways. If you will be horseback- riding, don't forget a pair of jeans and light boots.
