BEFORE YOU GO:<br />

• Eco Chic Suites: All 23 rooms are open air, palm<br />

thatched cabins that fl oat on stilts, overlooking the ocean.<br />

• Stairway to Heaven: There are lots of stairs; 176 to<br />

be precise with 215 feet of elevation from the beach to<br />

the top jungle room. I used that walking time to enjoy the<br />

jungle and be alone with my thoughts.<br />

• Booking a Flight: Xinalani is only accessible by boat,<br />

and only during daylight hours. It is important to book<br />

your fl ight to arrive in Puerto Vallarta before 4:30pm and<br />

depart after 11:30am.<br />

• Pack Light: You truly do not need a lot here. Xinalani<br />

specifi cally tells you not to bring yoga props, laptop, hair<br />

appliances, soap or shampoo. Oh, and leave your stress<br />

at home too.<br />

• City Fix: If you feel the need to escape the solitude<br />

and go into Puerto Vallarta for a little shopping and<br />

sightseeing, there is a water tax ($20pp) that goes to and<br />

from Xinalani frequently.<br />
