Nature's Way Guest House


Rustic and ramshackle, this place has been a longtime backpacker bolthole in Punta Gorda, though there are no dorm beds and it's not the bargain it once was. Simple, screened-in, ocean-breeze–cooled wooden rooms are upstairs, and a large communal area with TV, music and free wi-fi is below. Nature's Way also rents bikes and kayaks for BZ$15 per day.
