Everyone feels welcome at Pachico's main dining tent and library. Sharing stories about the day's whale and wildlife encounters over a cold cerveza is one of the daily rituals at Pachicos.



Our recycling center takes care of all those empty cans!


Our solar/wind powered cabins are equipped with two beds and sleep 2-3 comfortably. A wall of windows on the beachfront provide spectacular views -even from bed!


In a lagoon-side setting as beautiful as ours, we had to make sure that the view from bed was special. Welcoming the day to this panorama will make you wish you reserved one more night!



Just part of the view! Your cabin looks west over the lagoon, island, and mountains.



The moon setting over the lagoon may be just as spectacular as our sun-sets!


You decide!


Prefer to camp? We offer camping space for tents and car campers.
