This cheerful guesthouse has two apartments at the top of a hill, just a few minutes' walk from Esperanza's malecón. Both are wonderfully cozy and decked out with all the things you might need – from coffee-making facilities and board games to beach gear and tips on the best snorkeling sites. A large common balcony has sweeping ocean views.
The owner Kathy is a longtime resident and activist; she's also a wealth of information on the island's complicated history with the US military.
