Lonely and forlorn, even more so at night, this beachfront hotel does however offer affordability and quiet (less so on weekend nights when locals rent out the space for events with music) and front-door access to a wide, if not especially beautiful, beach. Bungalow rooms are basic and simply furnished, and food is available at the on-site restaurant.
