Nestled high up on a green, Caribbean mountain the place to "free your mind " awaits. Nature lovers who enjoy priceless amenities like flowers, palm trees, hammocks overlooking the sea and warm hospitality will find El Momo to be the perfect retreat.
&tA set of stairs leads to six small wooden cottages each surrounded by tropical gardens. The airy „one-room-Cottages" are built of warm wood, decorated with original artwork, offer amazing ocean views from their terraces and provide a private atmosphere. Wooden furnitures and individual colorful fabrics add a touch of Caribbean happiness. Mosquitos are very rare, so you can sit on the terrace enjoying sunset without any repellent. No safes or keys are necessary, because crime simply does not exist.
El Momo is small, individual, earth-kind, quiet, very charming and a little ;Robinson Crusoe like" with plenty of unspoiled nature. A little piece of paradise where time moves slow and attention is paid to details. Experience the busy hummingbirds as they fly from flower to flower, the little black dotted Saban lizard puffing its yellow chest, or the whistling tree frogs in the star-filled night. Sleeping well is easy as the altitude climate cools down at night. In addition to the breathtaking sea views enjoy fantastic ocean sunsets from October to March. The wooden swimming pool deck is built around African Tulip Trees which provide natural shade for the cozy lounge area. An eco-friendly philosophy complements the beautiful natural environment and keeps tourists footsteps small. The hotel is a tranquil heaven where a maximum of 14 guests rest and enjoy nature at its best.
El Momo is located on quiet Booby Hill which is a 10 minutes walk away from the tiny village of Windwardside where you can find the post office, bank, souvenir shops, Internet cafe, grocery stores, dive shops, wellness day spa, massage centers, yoga & pilates studio, museum, art gallery, trail shop, tourist office and some great restaurants. Jobean’s glass studio is just below El Momo, so not even a minute away. El Momo is facing towards south-west which provides sunshine all day long and the hill in the back protects of too much wind.
The friendly owners Angelika and Oliver Hartleib are your hosts who take time to provide background information and give tips concerning activities and dining.
