The intent was to create a fishing lodge where families could also be present and enjoy the environment while the men would go out and fish daily. This facility could also be great for a yoga center, eco lodge, surf lodge, or just a great place to escape civilization with all kinds or wild life. There is a baby crocodile that lives in the lagoon. We have dolphins often swimming in the water in front of the lower lodge. toucans, parrots, monkeys, and so much more.
