Recinto del Viento

San Agustinillo


This budget option looks like some frozen relic from San Agustinillo's pre-tourist days and sits 100m up steps opposite Bambú with surf views from its hammock-slung terrace. The guest kitchen helps create a sociable atmosphere and there's a no-wi-fi policy to encourage guests to interact. The seven rooms are simple and small; three have their own bathroom.
