Tokeh Sands, which has sleek, white rooms with 24-hour power and air-con, opened here in 2013. You can swim out to the old helipad nearby, or kick off your sandals and nap in one of the hammocks strung between the palms while you contemplate your dinner options. There are some basic wooden huts for budget travellers here, but at US$60/80 for a single/double they seem expensive, especially considering that you share a bathroom.
