Naturalis is a very small hotel on the outskirts of town. And I do mean outskirts. We had a rental car and it took an hour to find the place. Nobody in town had even heard of it. For us that turned out to be a good thing as the town of San Pedro had little appeal to us. Each evening we were happy to return to our own little hideaway away from the surprisingly very third world city of San Pedro.
The property is fairly new and well kept, though a few aspects of the property were confusing:
* The"pool" is surrounded by trees that were constantly shedding something, so maintaining it seemed like an effort in futility. It is not heated either so basically not usuable. The pool also is one depth. Deep. I would suggest they turn it into a Koi Pond with a waterfall or something.
* While the landscaping generally attractive, it could be improved by adding some plants with color that maybe needed a bit of water. A couple large areas had native flowers that they cut completely down while we were there. Unfortunately nothing was then left but dirt to look at. Those large areas need to be rethought. Some large planters with colorful plants perhaps?
* There were very few paintings anyplace on the property. Odd.
* The buildings are adobe style which in theory keep the cool of the night during the day. We were there there in the spring. The theory is evidently not true.
* No overhead fans!! Really weird.
Service and food including dinner were generally great
