El Silencio Lodge & Spa | Condé Nast Traveler
"This eco-resort in "the thickest tropical cloud forest you can imagine" spreads across 500 acres. The nearest town has the odd distinction of being renowned for ox-cart making. "Rustic Zen cottage suites" are arranged in tiers, and each has bamboo ceiling tiles, raw-wood lamps, energy-efficient lighting, and a private deck with rocking chairs. The rate includes free breakfast, and "the food is organic and delicious." All of the tropical-fusion dishes at Las Ventanas feature regional ingredients, with most of the herbs, vegetables, and fruit from the resort’s 4,000-square-foot greenhouse. Try mountain biking, or exercise body and soul on the creekside yoga deck."
