Central Pacific Coast
Perched on a jungle-covered hillside overlooking the cove, this ecolodge's terrace restaurant makes a glorious spot to greet the morning with a full breakfast, or to indulge in a sunset dinner over cocktails, fresh seafood and pasta.

Majahua also runs a seasonal beachside tapas bar (November through April).
