Perched on a cliff behind Brufut beach, Austrian-run Leo's has five bright, well-appointed rooms and one suite, all attractively furnished. Rooms have sliding glass doors that open onto a shared balcony overlooking the pool with the ocean in the distance. It's a kid-free place, though you might encounter a few families at the excellent on-site restaurant (mains D410 to D730).
