Cinnabar Resort
BUNGALOW
Everything you need to know about this fantasy of palm thatch is that one of the seven
rooms is a treehouse (the others are bungalows). If you're bored it wouldn't be much effort
to find driftwood on the beach to build an eighth room - this really is a rustic experience.
The cafe has tables right on the sand.
Panorama Rock Cafe
BUNGALOW
)
This older property has nine rooms in bungalow-style units that are solidly built from ce-
ment. The site is nicely shaded with mature plants while the open-front cafe has a good
water's edge view along the narrow beach. You can arrange mangrove outings here.
Serein Beach
BOUTIQUE HOTEL
An excellent newcomer, this well-run hotel has a three-storey main building with a won-
derful rooftop deck. The nine rooms feature recycled materials and solar energy is used to
heat water. The location is sun-drenched and the beach out front is unspoiled.

On a breathtaking stretch of near-deserted beach, this superb place has several rustic but
chic cabanas hidden under the trees. Inside the cabanas virtually everything is made of
twisted driftwood. Some units have bathrooms inconveniently located below ground,
while the newest ones have snazzy outdoor showers and outdoor lounging areas with fab
views. The open-air bar/cafe is good.
