Busy but relaxed Buena Onda, set in a shady palm grove with a beachfront palapa hangout area, can seem like surfer dude central station. It is also one of the few Zicatela joints that is actually ON the beach. The 10 rustic cabañas are clean and equipped with mosquito nets, fans and hammocks, and there are adequate bathrooms and kitchen.
