You have several choices at this incongruent spot in the Book Tree mall. Standard rooms
are enormous with high ceilings and decked out with dangling lanterns, but we liked the
newly refurbished, more traditional bungalows still under renovation at research time.
Cheapest rooms are fan cooled and share baths.

Air-con rooms
are decent stand-alone casitas with high ceilings, dark wood furnishings, recessed light-
ing, ceramic tiled floors and huge baths. Fan rooms are basic but super clean. All have
front porches and face a palm grove blanketed with a rolling lawn, set back from the
main highway and against the jungled hills.

There is a handful of four- and six-bed bun-
galows in the national park. The standards are basic, but the setting will suit those after
an eco-experience.
