We loved our stay at the banana bungalow! Cristo Rey was such an awesome experience. There are so many little details that made our stay unforgettable. All of the locals were beyond nice. Everyone we walked past said hi (even the kids). Everywhere we ate, someone came out of the kitchen to chat with us. And the food was delicious. All whole foods, nothing processed, just fresh ingredients, spices, and Marie Sharps hot sauce. The whole town made me want more chickens in my life. There were chickens wandering around town like stray cats. There was a truck that honked down the main street at the same time every night selling tortillas. Basilisks were a common sighting. I saw one catch a bug out of the sky more than once. Also, having access to the kayak was great. We loved kayaking the macal river. We only wish we had left earlier in the morning, because it got really hot on the river. We woke up early on our last day to take a recording of all the bird and jungle sounds as the sun was coming up. We are using it as a morning alarm now. Regarding the accommodations, the hosts did a great job recommending and promoting quality locally-owned places and were available to answer all our questions. We have no complaints. Not one. Do yourself a favor and check out this charming slice of life in the jungle!
