With a gorgeous location way upriver and a less party-oriented crowd than other riverfront hostels, this is a place for serious unwinding. Catch rays and read a book on the overwater main pavilion, take a leisurely kayak ride, or watch fireflies at night. The super simple A-frame bungalows are brilliantly conceived and some have private riverfront miniveranda.
