Description
Also, we're in the middle of expanding the Dolphin Lodge to create 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms - the 4th bedroom is to be finished by Christmas 05. Rates will then match the Coral Reef House. The 3rd and 4th downstairs bedrooms will have two full size beds each. The upstairs bedrooms will continue to have a king and a twin each.
The Dolphin Lodge is a newer, rustic home right next to the Coral Reef House just outside of Manzanillo. We offer sport fishing and scientific dolphin studies so we needed more accommodations for our guests. Both homes are inside the Gandoco Manzanillo Wildlife and Marine Refuge, so the privacy factor is unbeatable yet it is only a short walk or bike ride to town.
The best feature of the house is its location inside the refuge and beyond the end of the road (you may drive in to unload only except for rare times when the creek is too high) which is very unique. Of all the houses for rent in the area, only the Coral Reef House and neighboring Dolphin Lodge share this quality.
The simple, rustic beach-house style Dolphin Lodge is constructed of native woods which glow and a red tile floor on the main floor, which has the open air eating area, full kitchen inside along with two of the bedrooms and a bathroom. Upstairs are 2 large bedrooms each with private bathrooms, accessed by a common deck overlooking the ocean. Each upstairs bedroom has either 2 king beds or 4 twin beds, as well as plenty of other space for sleeping. All the windows are fully screened and have privacy shutters as well. The woodwork is refreshingly simple and finished completely with local craftsmanship.
Downstairs is a full kitchen, a large bedroom, another full bathroom, and the office of the Caretaker, Dolfi.
When you need a little exercise, follow the steps down to the always 86 degree reef-protected ocean and snorkel with the amazingly vivid fish populations. There's even a small tide pool for kids. Take a walk to town and rent a kayak for touring the ocean or river estuaries or have the caretakers, who run the local guide's organization, set up a jungle tour or another of their favorite adventures. The caretakers, who live next door at the Coral Reef House with their 2 children, will cook your meals for you using fresh local ingredients for an extra charge.
The marine reserve is one of a kind. It's waters are home to three species of wild dolphins, whales, sea turtles, coral reef, and manatee. Sport fishing for tarpon, wahoo, mackerel, kingfish and snook make this area a sport fishing paradise. Also, scuba diving and snorkeling in the marine reserve can be arranged through the local dive shop. Kayaking is both easy and popular inside the reef and in the Gandoca lagoon. Trained guides in wildlife and bird watching, sport fishing and dolphin/marine tours are available for bookings in Manzanillo.
Manzanillo is an outdoors person?s paradise, and the Dolphin Lodge is the perfect place for larger groups of any type to enjoy the splendors of Costa Rica!
