New Seaside Palapa Suite at Buena Suerte Soliman!
As Casa Buena Suerte begins it’s third year on beautiful Soliman Bay, we are thrilled to announce the opening of our new Palapa Suite. The new suite is a pyramid shaped palapa built by our Mayan craftsmen with a roof of dried palm fronds. The wood used for the structure is Chechen – a local hardwood that is so durable it is known as “ironwood.” All of the walls are glass and all open for a fabulous sea breeze. The suite is also equipped with instant chilled and heated water, refrigerator and a safe for your valuables. 

The concept of palapa construction developed as the Maya would farm one area of the jungle for several years, and then move to another area. Everything was renewable. The trees they cut for palapas would grow back over a 20-30 year period and the Maya would not go back into an area for that period of time so the jungle could actually rejuvenate. The genius of the ancient Maya is that they were thinking green even when resources were plentiful.

A palapa roof allows the building to “breathe” and thus stay cool and dry in hot weather. Our new suite is green in it’s construction and decadent in it’s ambience. After a night of stargazing, close the floor to ceiling draperies, jump into your king-size bed, look up at the 20 ft palapa ceiling...it’s your own private haven. Enjoy a perfect night’s sleep and wake up to a direct view of the sea; it feels like there’s nothing between you and the Caribbean.

New Meal Plans for 2010!
Casa Buena Suerte is proud to announce our new chef service. For 2010 we have added a new service in addition to our complimentary breakfast. Guests can now elect to have our world-class chef prepare 3 dinners for them in the villa any 3 nights during their stay, or for those who prefer to dine in throughout their stay, we are also offering our chef for lunch and dinner service for any 6 days during your 7-night stay. Our chef and his staff will purchase your groceries, prepare your meals and serve you either in the villa or outside at any of our delightful outdoor-dining areas.
