Tree house 5 min walk from Cocles and Bluff Beach

Dear travelers, this is not exactly a treehouse, but we decided to call it that because many of our guests describe the experience as feeling like being up in a tree. The cabin is located in the rainforest and only 5 minutes walk to Cocles beach and pristine Bluff Beach (just in front of Pirripli Island.) We currently have a 100 MB stable connection so it is a great option for people who need to work during their holidays. The access road is flat, easy walking for everyone and no 4x4 is needed
