Planet Explorer
Beginnende strandganger
Yiimtii is werkelijk een opmerkelijke plek die me met verbazing achterliet. De eigenaren, Niam en Marytere, hebben een prachtig uniek en duurzaam huis gecreëerd op een adembenemende locatie die ze meer dan twee decennia geleden ontdekten. Het was een droom die uitkwam om een off-grid eigendom te bezoeken dat zo goed ontworpen was voor comfort, netheid en milieuvriendelijkheid. Het uitzicht was gewoon adembenemend.
Het eten was het beste dat we in Mexico hebben gehad, met heerlijke lokale en gezonde opties gemaakt met liefde. Ik kijk uit naar hun kookboek!
Het afgelegen strand was de wandeling op en neer waard, en we hadden het helemaal voor onszelf, behalve de schildpadsporen van de avond ervoor. Niam en Marytere's kinderen waren een genot om bij te zijn, en we hebben zoveel van hen geleerd over de natuur en dieren. Ze respecteerden onze wens voor rust en privacy, maar we maakten ook vrienden met andere gasten.
Marytere was ongelooflijk behulpzaam bij het organiseren van ons vervoer en het geven van aanbevelingen voor onze aankomst. Deze ervaring heeft mijn hart vol en mijn mindset veranderd ten goede. Ik raad ten zeerste aan om Yiimtii zonder aarzeling te boeken. We zijn al bezig met het plannen van onze terugkeer!
We took a month long vacation in Mexico and Costa Rica, I came across Yiimtii while booking places to stay on our journey though the two countries and we're very lucky I found it. You will not find many places like this place in the world. It was a real privilege to be able to stay on the property for a couple nights and take in the experience. We stayed in the hut that overlooks the secluded beach and the view of the coastline that looks down towards Puerto Angel. It’s an INCREDIBLE view! The sound of the ocean hitting the cliffs below is meditative. The buildings are lovely and well kept, the outdoor shower overlooking the same view is awesome! The bathroom has many options and was very clean. All these facilities are at the edge of the property and are very private from the rest of the property which only included Marytere and her family who were wonderful to meet. They fed us as we opted for breakfast and dinner while there. The food was definitely some of the best we had during our 4 week trip, and we believe the poke dish that we had on the first night contributed to us getting pregnant likely the next day. That’s right, this place has a little magic, we likely conceived while staying here. The hike down to the completely deserted beach took about 8 mins. The beach is closed in by cliffs on either side, we were told that some local fisherman sometimes scale the cliffs at the edge of the beach to get access, and one did pass by briefly while we were there, but otherwise we were alone the whole time. The water is not the most ideal for swimming, but you can easily walk out till you’re head is below water before the waves begin to pound you. The ocean floor there is mostly soft sand, it’s a beautiful place to take a dip or just sit in the water and let the waves do the work for you. I was surprised by the amount of turtle tracks, this is a hot spot for laying their eggs. The bird life there is also impressive. Leading up to the trip my wife was concerned about mosquitoes as this was are only open air stay, but we didn’t have more than usual, I myself didn’t get any bites, and I didn’t take any special precautions including not putting bug spray on. There was power in the hut so we could charge any devices we had, there are also lights, power is provided by solar panels and we had no shortage. Towels were provided along with extra blankets. The bed is comfortable and was big enough for the two of us at 6’ and 6’6”. While we made plenty of amazing memories while on our 4 week adventure, Yimmtii created some of the most precious ones, and I’m not talking about the baby. If you have a chance to book this place it’s well worth the visit. Some of the pictures are courtesy of my drone.
