In a blissfully remote location, the 18 rooms at this peaceful retreat feature teak floorboards and antique four-poster beds; some have private bathrooms while others share facilities, and there's a lovely communal veranda overlooking the hills – a great spot for birdwatching. The on-site restaurant serves excellent lunches and dinners (US$15/30), and rates include an evening rum punch.
