Caribbean Coast
One of the more low-key options in the area, this place is set on a lovely little inlet about 200m from the main river. Cabins are well built and connected by boardwalks. It offers tours all up and down the river and puts on an à la carte dinner (mains Q40 to Q90).
If you want the one cabin with a bathroom, make sure you book ahead.
