Merlo as a "Tribe": Why Renting a Whole House is Better Than Separate Cabins

Traveling with a large family or a group of friends is one of life's greatest pleasures. But it comes with logistics challenges. Where do you stay? How do you keep everyone together without stepping on each other's toes?

The traditional solution is booking multiple cabins. But there's a better way.

The Problem with Multiple Cabins

When you book 2-3 cabins at a resort, you get:

  • Separated sleeping arrangements - kids in one cabin, adults in another
  • No common space that's truly private
  • Shared pool with strangers
  • Multiple bills and check-ins
  • No yard for kids to play safely

The result? You're constantly coordinating across cabins, the kids are running back and forth, and you never really relax together.

The Whole House Solution

At Solar de los Pájaros, your group gets a complete private property. Everyone under one roof, with space to spread out when needed.

For the parents: The master suite with private bathroom

For the kids: A triple room where they can stay up whispering

For grandparents: A quiet double room away from the action

For everyone: A massive shared living area, private pool, and 6,000m² of park

The Morning Coffee Scenario

Imagine this: It's 8am. Some people are still sleeping. You walk to the kitchen in your pajamas, make coffee, and sit on the gallery watching the mountains. No strangers. No rush. When the kids wake up, they find you - not wonder which cabin you're in.

That's the difference between a house and cabins.

The BBQ Dinner Scenario

It's 7pm. The BBQ is fired up. Kids are playing in the pool (your pool). Someone's setting the table. Someone's making salad in the kitchen. Everyone's together, no one's at a restaurant paying restaurant prices.

Later, the kids are asleep in their room, and the adults are in the jacuzzi, talking under the stars. All without leaving home.

The Numbers Make Sense

For a group of 6-8 people, a whole house often costs less per person than multiple cabin rooms. Add the savings from cooking your own meals, and the value is clear.

But the real value isn't in the money - it's in the experience of being truly together, in your own private space, making memories that last.
