In-Depth Information
Funky, colorful and amazingly cheap for Punta Uva, this ramshackle collection of open-air
dorms, private rooms (including an 'attic' double reached by a ladder) and small cabins is
surrounded by a flowery garden and managed by a friendly Dutch couple. Guests share
ample kitchen facilities, hot and cold showers and a creaky-floored communal area with
games, books and DVDs.

Only steps from idyllic Playa Punta Uva, this Catalan-owned cluster of three cabinas with
tiled bathrooms, polished-wood verandas, hammocks and a shared open-air kitchen is

sound of crashing waves and chirping insects and wake up to the roar of the resident howl-
er monkeys.
