An unexpected budget option on Isla Boca Brava, this hotel with 15 rooms, ranging from rustic to deluxe, is ideal for mingling with fellow travelers, though we have received some complaints from readers about the quality of the accommodations. Doubles are snug; the cheapest fan-cooled 'economy' doubles have shared bathroom.
At the other end of the spectrum are the delightful bay-view cottage (US$60) and two-bedroom suite (US$75) with air-conditioning. The eyrie-like bar and restaurant (mains US$5 to US$12) occupies a cool space on an overhanging deck with expansive water views. It’s the perfect setting for a sundowner. The hotel can arrange excursions such as snorkeling, whale-watching and birdwatching.
