Set in riverside gardens, Acajou has five bungalows replete with rich wood and bright-white linens and cushions. French doors open to hammocked patios that look toward the ocean, and there's a path down past the river to the sea. No air-conditioning, TV or phones make this a fantastic retreat. There's a restaurant on-site.
