The Palapa at Mukul is cool: instead of cutting down trees to build it, they shipped in these nanciton pilars left over from Hurricane Mitch in 1998 that were just sitting as debris since on the Atlantic side. Paul Duesing is of course responsible for the stunning decor. A Mexican architect created the first oval-shaped palapa in Central America. There's 128 lil baskets up there, all hand-woven by local artisans of Nicaragua!
