Cheerful white huts with sky-blue shutters line the best part of the beach: the destination for a perfect do-nothing escape. Service is nonexistent – but in this setting, who cares? There are 14 rooms, including beachfront A-frames with hammocks, a beach house with balconies and hut rooms by the jungle. Wi-fi available in the restaurant.
