Johnny's Place $
( 5812-0409; www.johnnysplacehotel.com ; dm/r Q45/160, s/d without bathroom Q70/140, r Q240-650, bungalows
Q500-950; ) While Johnny's may not be everyone's cup of tea, it's easy enough to find
- it's the first place you come to turning left on the beach, and one of the biggest opera-
tions here. It's got a decent atmosphere, though, and attracts a good mix of backpackers
and family groups.
Every pair of bungalows shares a barbecue and small swimming pool. There's also a
larger general swimming pool. The cheaper rooms are not glamorous but have fans and
screened windows. Pay extra and things start to get very swish. The bar-restaurant over-
looks the sea and is a popular hangout: the food is not gourmet but there are plenty of
choices and imaginative licuados (fresh fruit drinks) and other long cool drinks.
HOTEL
Hotel Pez de Oro $$
( 2368-3684; www.pezdeoro.com ; s/d Q350/440; ) This is the funkiest looking place in town,
with comfortable little huts and bungalows scattered around a shady property. The color
scheme is a cheery blue and yellow, and the rooms have some tasteful decorations and big
overhead fans. The excellent restaurant, with big sea views, serves up great Italian cuisine
and seafood dishes.

RESORT
Dos Mundos Pacific Resort $$$
( 7823-0820; www.dosmundospacific.com ; bungalows from Q965; ) The biggest complex
around is pushing resort status - manicured grounds, two swimming pools, and a gor-
geous beachfront restaurant. The bungalows are spacious and simple but beautifully
presented, with wide shady balconies out front.
4 Right of Calle Principale
Going in the opposite direction, heading right from Calle Principal, are more options.
Hostel El Gecko $
( 5251-3522; dm Q50; ) The first place you'll come to when you turn right from Calle
Principal is this very basic hostel run by a couple of young Guatemalans. There are very
few frills here, but it's a backpackers' favorite for the cheap beds and friendly atmosphere.
