Nine bright houses (each painted and named for a color of the rainbow) are fully equipped with kitchens and big porches with hammocks. They're set amid blooming tropical gardens, with a stone-rimmed swimming pool onsite. The location is sort of a no-man's land (a 20-minute uphill hike from town) but there's plenty of wildlife wandering around these jungly grounds.
