The hotel, if you can even call it something as simple as that, markets itself as an adult-only eco resort and Mayan spa. Let me try to break down for you what that means. First of all, the building style is inspired by the ancient Mayan construction techniques and has what they call an organic architecture. That means, it has been built with respect to the surrounding nature, in order to disturb and destroy as little as possible of the plants and wildlife. If you haven’t guessed it already, this is a treehouse village. Furthermore, there is hardly any electronics and modern-day equipment like showers. The reason for that is not only to save powers, but also to make you completely relaxed.
