I Encourage You To Do Your Own Search Pancha MamaPancha Mama Means Mother Earth In Spanish And If You Are A Time-warped Hippie That Had A Go Around With Communes This Is Gonna Ring Your Bell. Pancho Mama Is Referred To As A Spiritual Eco Village. The Fees Are Extremely Reasonable, If I Read Their Fee Chart Correctly.

Her Rates Are Not Cheap But They Are Competitive With The Larger Hotels And She Has Included A Wellness Center Where You Can Learn Or Practice Yoga, Tai Chi, Reiki, Or Massage. The Buildings Are Beautiful And In Harmony The Ocean And Jungle That Surround It. Her Rates Run From 125 - 200.
