Run by two highly knowledgeable Danish women (Christina and Heidi), this sociable spot offers simple, bright rooms and plenty of party preparation fun for Full Moon beach shenanigans; it's slower going outside of the lunar-lunacy periods. The restaurant and bar are also solid choices serving wood-fired pizza and great beer.
