Lakiya Tara

Caribbean Coast


This small community lodge is located just north of the village on the beach and has simple accommodations in thatched huts. The night sky here is spectacular and the lodge organizes interpretive treks through the thick jungle behind the village, where you'll learn about bush food and natural medicines.

Simple meals can be ordered in advance.
