Casa Maya is a true jungle lodge, tucked away in a quiet private jungle valley, constructed of jungle materials. The cabanas and buildings are thatched with bay leaf palm and the framework material is an exotic hardwood called milady. All of our building materials were harvested in a sustainable way from the local jungle and constructed by local Maya craftsmen, in the same manner as their ancestors. There are ancient Maya ruins and caves on the resort property.
Thatching has the wonderful ability to cool by a natural refrigerating process. The thatch leaves absorb water when it rains, and the moisture slowly evaporates, lowering the temperature by evaporative cooling. The humidity on the back slope of the Maya Mountains, where we are located, is much less than on the coast, and we are also at a higher elevation, so we don’t use, or even need, fans or air conditioning, as our weather is pleasant and comfortable in the evenings.
Our beds have mosquito netting, but it is mostly for psychological support, as we have very few bugs and virtually no mosquitoes, except after prolonged periods of rain, which is rare. The local caves are homes to millions of bats, which sweep our skies every evening, gathering what mosquitoes and flying insects escaped the night before. The chachalakas, parrots, chickens, brown jays and other birds dine on the bugs, competing with the lizards and frogs, while armadillos and opossum harvest the worms and grubs. It is a great natural balancing system of the upland rainforest jungle and our guests reap the benefits. Although we have a few deer, tayra (bush dog), fox, gibnut and other small animals in the jungle around the resort, you will have to travel into more remote areas to see the large cats, crocodiles, tapir and other rare tropical animals.
While at the resort, you will sleep in the soothing peace of pleasant jungle sounds, and no background noise, 60 cycle hum, horns, sirens, overhead jets screaming, diesel trucks roaring or trains pounding the earth. It is just a nice peaceful tranquility in a lovely cabana with an enchanting glorious world unfolding each morning from your window.
The high thatch roof keeps the air cool during the day and adds to sleeping comfort at night. Our cabanas are located on the hillside above the pavilion offering a lovely view of the resort and the Maya Mountains.
Our water is purified and safe to drink.
