What makes this gem of a guesthouse so special? It’s the paradisiacal setting, 2km from town. The luscious tiled pool and Jacuzzi are surrounded with tropical gardens bursting with blooms and buzzing with bees and birds, from parrots to peacocks. The spacious rooms have stained-wood accents, huge tile bathrooms and semiprivate terraces facing the garden (complete with rockers). Breakfast US$7.
Plenty of feathered and furry friends roam the grounds. Along with the ever-charming owner, they make for quite a welcome party.
