Shared Accommodations

For those interested in low-cost, shared accommodations, we have a fantastic option to make your experience simple, convenient and affordable. This property is just a 7 min walk from our retreat site (La Ermita), and 15 min walk to the beautiful beach.

First-come, first served with regard to bed assignments.  Book with a friend and reserve a room to yourself (if available).  Although this is a 4 bedroom property that sleeps 15 people, there will be a maximum of 6 people booked here.  If we reach capacity, we'll explore other housing options.  If you have questions about housing, please email retreat leader, E.B. Ferdig at info@unfoldportland.com.

Housing On-Your-Own:  If you want to book housing on your own, here are some resources and info to consider. The beauty of Lo De Marcos is that it is not a built-up touristy place.  So, you will find affordable housing options, but it's not an American, corporate-feel experience.  It's a Mexican-feel experience, which we love! 

 

Please let us know if you're interested in sharing with another participant in your own found-housing, and we'll do our best to connect you with someone who wants to share.  Email us here: info@unfoldportland.com.
