“Eclypse De Mar Acqua Lodge strikes me as a place with strong appeal: waterfront cabins and complimentary kayaks create a relaxing atmosphere; the on-site gardens teem with wildlife. However, reports of noise and variable upkeep temper expectations somewhat. If they addressed these points, it could really shine.”
