My husband and three children (11,8,7) recently stayed 4 nights in Casa Miramar at Bosque del Cabo. The great reviews are true, its a very special place and we had a fabulous time exploring the lodge and grounds. We stayed in Casa Miramar one of the houses for rent there.Its an odd but beautiful house, looks remarkably similar to Fred and Wilma Flinstone's house in Bedrock, open round holes for windows and all. While we had a great time here there were moments that were almost too much for this family of sissies from NJ. Our daily wildilfe interaction consists of a very friendly dog and squirrles in the backyard. Miramar is 1/2 mile to the lodge, 2/3 of that distance is up a steep hill if heading back from dinner. Its a long, hot walk and at night its a long, hot DARK walk. There are many interesting creatures to observe along the way but it was at times a bit scary for us. Also, my little guy got sick while we were there and one night we asked for help getting back to the house (he had a fever of 101). We were told "sorry, wish we could help" (spoken in a very chipper british accent) and left on our own to get him back to the house. They did however help us the next night as he was still sick. Thank you Cindy! Miramar is completely open, its pretty much a 3 sided house and you have to go outside to use the bathrooms.It has its own pool which was key with the kids, I am glad we were spared the mile roundtrip walk to the lodge's pool.The bedrooms are three separate buildings and you have to go outside to get to each bedroom structure. This was a little intimidating for me at night as there were, bats,crabs, gekos,coatis HUGE spiders and god only knows what else around. One morning we woke up to mystery poop in our bedroom, would love to know what creature left that for us. The refrigerator had to be locked to keep the coatis out as they will raid it and eat everything in it, They (or some other creatures) came into the house each night and rummaged through trash, recycling anything they could find. I hope I don't sound like I am complaining, I'm not. We loved this place, we experienced nature as we never had before. We had some great family adventures that won't soon be forgotten. The Pacific Trail and waterfall hike while quite challenging were so beautiful. We got lucky and found the falls, along with a very large yellow snake. We visited the animal sanctuary and were surrounded by dolphins on our boat ride back, a sight that brought tears to my eyes.Being awakend each morning by the howler monkeys was extraordinary. Watching the monkeys swing through the trees for hours an incredible experience. This vacation was entirely different from our usual posh beach resort holiday. Had we known exactly what we were in for we might have chickened out and that would have been a mistake. This was an experience of a lifetime for this NJ family. I hope we will have the good fortune to return someday.
