"Playa Viva is an eco-friendly resort located on a 200-acre reserve between the Pacific Ocean and the Sierra Madre range. It offers 19 accommodations, including bamboo tree houses, and is known for its low-impact construction, permaculture farm, and biodiversity projects. Certified as a B Corporation with a high score for community and environmental benefits, Playa Viva is ideal for outdoorsy and socially conscious travelers. The resort features a beachside infinity pool, yoga retreats, and various family-friendly activities, although it is not recommended for those who are squeamish about bugs." - Kathryn Romeyn
