Casa Colibri at Platanitos

Unique amenities that make Casa Colibri so special include:

• Colibri is the most kid-safe, kid-friendly house on the Point, with a private pool that is virtually part of the main living area (which has no wall on the side where the pool is). The pool is a kid magnet, your kids will love it! [Note: The pool can be heated to 83° F. at an additional charge of $35 US per day. Propane is expensive!]
   
• It's the most private and quiet of all the homes; and the only one surrounded on all sides by common area. Surf is always audible, but soft and lulling. It will put you to sleep, not jolt you out of bed with crashing waves.
   
• Colibri is four separate buildings, a kind of "palapa village." This is privacy-plus!
   
• Spacious bedrooms, each with full private bath.
   
• Starting in October, 2022, we have free, high-speed Internet access via StarLink. There is no data limit.
   
• There's a 5th full bath right off the living area, for your day guests who use the pool and beach.
   
• Virtually endless cloth napkins for all meals, laundered and ironed as needed by the housekeeper/cook.
   
• The main living area, being a palapa, retains no heat during the day, unlike the concrete houses.
   
• The round marble dining table seats up to 14. The breakfast nook table seats an additional 6, and the bar 5. We've had Thanksgiving dinners with up to 25 people.
   
• Speaking of food, Colibri has a large, well-equipped kitchen. For guests who like to prepare their own meals, your can have up to cooks in the kitchen at once and not stumble over one another. 
   
• Colibri shares a 48 kW generator with 7 other houses, so during CFE failures, which can be frequent and sometines long-lasting, the generator will supply sufficient power for lighting, refrigeration, water pressure, fans and internet access. It will not supply sufficient power to run the air conditioners.
•  
• For reasons unclear, Colibri is practically jijene-free, although if you are especially sensitive to biting insects, you may wish to bring repellant, as you are in the jungle.

The stairways down to the ocean are just 50 yards away. A few yards across the estuary lies Playa las Tortugas (Turtle Beach), 12 miles long and one of the most stunning beaches on the entire Riviera Nayarit coast.

Casa Colibri includes housekeeping and a chef: 7:30 AM - 4 PM weekdays, 7:30 AM — Noon on Saturdays. [Note: housekeeper/chef will come on Sundays if you opt for the meal plan -- see below.] Moña will prepare your meal and you can enjoy it at your leisure whenever you are hungry. 

A generous meal plan is availlable. The meal plan provides — and prepares — food for you onsite for three meals a day. We highly recommend the meal plan due to very limited local shopping opportunities. This is a cash plan payable to the property rental manager, Ismael.
