The darkish wood cabins are plain, with no decoration to brighten the mood. But they are clean and the tile showers with stone drains are funky cool. Even if you’re not staying here, the open-air restaurant, serving fish burgers and chicken cordon bleu (mains US$3 to US$12), and thatched bar are Zancudo favorites.
