"Eight cottages set on the prettiest stretch of sand on the island. Entertainment here is of your own making—bring a book and settle back with a cold Belikin beer." Full review

"The hotel is close to the airport and has clean, but uninspiring rooms with TV, air-con and colorful local artwork. Most rooms have beach-facing porches with hammocks. " Full review

"Gregarious, eccentric (and sometimes irascible) British expat Peter Lawrence opened the island's only backpacker-style accommodations in 2003; then he opened a budget hotel across the street, along with a sports bar and pizza joint, which became a local expat hangout, and now he has added a new group of "deluxe but cheap" rooms."
