The cabana-by-the-beach concept reaches new heights with these two-story main palapa-covered buildings set right on the sand. The 13 rooms have hanging beds (like hammocks and mattresses), big bathrooms with five gallon jugs of purified water, green cement floors, ceiling fans, and electirc bug repellent dispensers that have little odor. Breakfast (included in the rate) is served in the communal dining room and lounge area. Guests are welcome to use the kitchen facilities and refrigerator for other meals. Diving and snorkeling tours are available, as is massage. Yoga and body work groups sometimes book the whole place for workshops, taking advantge of the large sand-floored meeting area under the main palapa. South of the town center past the ferry pier.

Six duplex, palapa-roofed, octagonal-shaped cabanas are set back among the palms here on a broad, bright-white sand beach. All the rooms have comfortable beds suspended from the ceiling and spacious bathrooms. A huge sand floor, beachside main palapa, with a tiled dining area and kitchen, serves as a common room for guests. The kitchen dishes up a big buffet breakfast (included in room price) and guests can use the facility to store food or cook... Good karma.
...A well equipped communal kitchen is open to all. The 12 rooms have ceiling fans and some have beds suspended from ropes. Or if guests prefer, there are hammocks. The hotel's beach is very lovely. Turning in early and sleeping late are de riguer here.
Rancho Libertad has several small, two story thatched bungalows with a guestroom on each floor. All Rooms with private bath, buffet breakfast included. Lower rates are offered when it's not busy. Scuba diving and snorkeling gear is available for rent, as are bicycles.
