Punta Caracol was born out of the idea of creating an Acqua-Lodge in a totally virgin and natural environment. The idea is to offer guests a pure and intimate experience with nature in a place of singular beauty where they can relax in comfort. Built over the Caribbean Sea, along a mile long coral reefed coast, Punta Caracol is constructed using the traditional methods of the Archipelago: each handsomely crafted cabin is built upon stilts which support a wooden frame over the water and covered by a palm leaf roof - an unforgettable habitat congruent with the native communities of the region.
At Punta Caracol acqua-lodge the ancient crafty construction techniques are combined with the most advanced alternative energy creation systems such as the solar panels, which are present at the restaurant and in all suites, and gas cooling in all thefrigerators and freezers, as well as the coupling of a sewage purifying system using state-of-the-art aerobic systems for micro-processing and sewage treatment
Enjoy one of its exclusive cabins where you will have access to crystal clear waters from your private terrace or you will be able to observe the impressive sunset interrupted only by playful dolphins. Feel immerse by the sounds of nature while laying down on a colonial style bed at the second level master bedroom, or just relax with a hot water shower on your private bathroom after an exited tour of the area. Learn how to coexist with the advance systems of renewable energy like the solar panels that provide electricity to the cabins or the bio-digestor that debugs sewage waters avoiding any type of pollution impact on the environment. At night, the restaurant's impressive palm leaf roof creates the perfect surrounding for a candlelight dinner that offers a variety of Caribbean and International dishes.

In the restaurant located upon the blue and turquoise waters of the Carribean, you can taste a variety of traditional and mediterranean dishes finely prepared in the kitchen. From a silk snapper in virgin olive oil and rock salt with rice and guandu made with coconut milk, to a lobster stew or a seafood paella, the philosophy that inspires the table is founded on three concepts that are intimately linked: fresh cuisine, light cuisine and a healthy cuisine. The unequaled freshness of theafood and fish, which are selected and chosen by the chef from the fishermen and lobster divers that stop at Punta Caracol to sell the day´s catch, guarantees an end product of the best quality for your table.
