We love kids! children policy.

Villas Pico Bonito welcomes families with children.  How to price lodging for children is a bit of a challenge.  Our pricing is already very competitive per person for families and groups.
However young families may be traveling on a budget so expect some kind of allowance for younger kids.
Kids take beds, bedding, towels and hot water, the same as adults.
So that being said here is what we offer.
Families with very young kids that have their own cribs / cots or sleep in the same room with their parents without requiring additional bedding stay free. If two kids or more can sleep in the same bed, that counts as one person.  So a family of 6 with small kids using 3 beds will get a discount off the normal count on occupancy.
Very simple, use less of our resources and save money on Lodging.
If you are interested in a family stay, please email us and we can discuss pricing for your family Lodge.
Thanks!
