I was supposed to only spend a week here, but ended up staying three weeks! This place is amazing. You sleep in an open cabana directly at the beach surrounded by nature, the place is very simple and disconnected, but that's what makes it very relaxing. And Oskar is amazing, he has a very relaxed lifestyle, always happy. I got to know many of his local friends, definitely improved my Spanish and learned how to cook some Mexican food! I loved the time I had here and I could have even stayed longer, such a special place and a special time in Chacahua! Definitely recommend it:)

Ozomati is quite secluded—a place to relax and unwind. However, you have to be okay with living right in the middle of nature. You sleep in a tent or an open bungalow. Oskar cooks delicious meals every afternoon. He's not a man of many words. We came as a couple, and we found the social aspect with Oskar a bit lacking. When it came to building and doing things, he gave us free rein. We built the shower, painted the well, and watered the plants every morning.

Life at the eco village is very relaxed. The Cabana at the beach is beautiful and Oscar is a great cook. You really can't go wrong stoping by here when you are in the area. Surfing is great in the Ocean and wildlife watching in the Laguna. The work itself is phsyical, either gardening or help constructing more cabanas.

The place is very remote and peaceful—right by the beach and surrounded by nature. It's a simple, sustainable lifestyle without modern comforts like AC or internet connection, so expect heat and limited access to town. You'll mostly rely on Oscar for transportation or use a bike. The waves are strong—great for surfing but not ideal for casual swimming. Still, it's a fun, down-to-earth experience and perfect for about a week if you want to disconnect and reset.

Oscar was very accommodating and friendly. He introduced us to the locals of Chacahua and made us feel like members of the town. Very welcoming. I had a really good time here. The tasks we needed to do were very do-able just communicating the tasks to us could have been better. Overall very amazing experience, Oscar's place is very beautiful.
