Wake up by the howling of the monkeys, get up with a deep breath of the fresh and salty air of the sea and go for some fresh and fruity breakfast while watching plenty of birds and whiteface monkeys playing at the river of your backyard. This is how the start in your day looks like while staying at Kelly Creek Hotel in Cahuita. The small hotel is located right at the entrance of Cahuita National Park and is named after the creek that marks the border and lies at the feet of the small outside restaurant area. Luckily, most animals of the national park don’t mind about the border and are providing you some company on the veranda and in the trees surrounding your stay.
If the wildlife in and around Kelly Creek Hotel will fascinate you, the rooms are going to make you stay here forever. Totally made out of wood, but light anyway, the five rooms fit perfect into the beach jungle setting next to Cahuita National Park.
Small changes, big effect
More than two years ago, the owner of the hotel switched.Now Erica Eriksson is in charge for running the place and serving the needs of her guests. “I love working with people and want everyone feel home in vacations abroad”, she says.The Swedish-born woman has lived nearly her complete life abroad herself.“Therefore, I think I know how to create a comfortable atmosphere. I have a good idea about what most people wish for in a place far away from home.” Not for nothing, she spent the last two year with changing small things to improve her service and the location itself.
For example, re-decorating the place was one thing she was passionate about. You can definitely tell by looking around. She added art and other small aesthetic elements to each room to make it more than just a purely functional place to stay.
Lay back at Kelly Creek Hotel
The verandas invite to sit outside, enjoying the weather, nature and the pure Caribbean feeling of Cahuita. In addition, chairs to chat with new friends from next door and hammock everywhere.
If you ever feel bored (nearly impossible in the place right in between the national park and most shops and restaurants of the town) or just want to lose yourself in a good story – just pick a book at the international book shelves. Spanish, English, French, German and Russian – Erica and multicultural tourists had brought it all together.
