are spacious and comfortable. Rates include breakfast and airport pickup.

houses catering to arriving and departing travelers. All their room rates include breakfast
and airport transfers (call from the airport on arrival). There are no restaurants out here,
but hotel workers have the complete lowdown on fast-food home delivery options.

This is the
most hostel-like of the near-the-airport options. Rooms are mostly set aside for dorms,
which are airy and spacious, but there are a couple of reasonable-value private rooms. The
whole place is extremely comfortable, with big indoor and outdoor sitting areas.
