This sublimely located hotel is about 500m along the road just outside town on the main route west. Dorm rooms have 10 or 14 beds. Decor includes some clever use of tiles, shells, strings of beads and local fabrics. Thatched-roof huts look down over the greenest of green fields to a beautiful wide river.
It's safe to swim and to use an inner tube if you're a confident swimmer.
