This new hotel sets the standard for Cahuita. Rooms in several buildings, well-spaced on informal grounds, are extraordinarily large with high ceilings, clerestory windows, white stuccoed walls, red tile floors, wooden louvers, and generous wooden trim. Covered passageways have squares of garden. A number of the design features effectively aid passive cooling without air conditioning.
Cuisine is excellent.
The owners, a Canadian and a Tica, have extensive hotel experience. The cuisine of the Hotel Cahuita Jaguar would get high ratings in San Jos , so you will surprised to find such excellent fare in this little place. French Caribbean cooking with creamy wine sauces. Abundant use of local fruits and vegetables with a salad with every meal. Local specialties like breadfruit, ayi kee and pejiballes are also served.
