Bruno's

Caribbean Coast


A path leads down from the northwest end of the bridge to this riverside hangout for yachties needing to get some land under their feet. The dorms are clean and spacious and the building offers some of the most comfortable rooms in town, with air-con and balconies overlooking the river. It's well set up for families and sleeps up to six.

Bruno's also serves good breakfasts and gringo comfort food (mains Q70 to Q100) and has a full bar. The restaurant is open 7am to 10pm daily.
