In-Depth Information
Set well back from the hustle of the beach, this Italian-owned house has four intimate
rooms that have been restored and decorated in a Rome-meets-the-tropics fusion. It's got a
large terrace that's great for relaxing while you count the monkeys leaping overhead.
Villa Hotel
HOTEL
)
A waterfront hotel built in a vaguely traditional but very tall style. The twirling wooden
window slats have an Arabic feel and the interiors of the rooms are attired in Indian art and
ancient furnishings. The highlight is the garden full of ornate 1920s English garden fur-
niture.
Primrose Guest House
GUESTHOUSE
without air-con from US$40/35; )
This bright three-story guesthouse is close to the beach. The tidy and spacious rooms are
well maintained; each has a little balcony overlooking a mass of bamboo plants.
Black Beauty Guest House
GUESTHOUSE
air-con from US$27/33; )
The tranquil gardens feature a pool, and the bright-orange tower of a guesthouse has
equally colourful rooms. It's good for people travelling with children as there are lots of
kids' toys (although you do have to cross the busy road to reach the beach).
Eating & Drinking
Almost all places to stay provide meals or have restaurants. The best way to choose from
the many cafes lining the beach may be to simply stroll around and see what you like.
Most places are good for a drink - see which ones are in favour when you're there. Just
don't expect much past midnight.
