This sweet spot is a collection of spacious, stained-wood A-frame bungalows set on a sub-
lime palm-dappled slice of shore. The place is decorated with beachy artistic touches, like
coconut lamps and seashell mobiles. Your hosts - a Dutch couple and their dogs - are de-
lightful. This is the first property you'll reach coming from Montezuma.

Follow the signs down the side road to find these large rustic A-frame bungalows with kit-
chenettes (useful, as eating options are limited in Cabuya). They are clean and comfort-
able, and the place is right on a slice of very quiet, rocky beach, while the friendly Irish
owner also rents bikes, ATVs and kayaks. And yes, it's called Howler Monkey Hotel for a
reason: expect a wake-up call.
