Lovina Krui Surf

Run by laid-back husband-and-wife team Yoris and Fransiska, this original, lovingly designed spot has rooms inside a number of traditional Sumatran-style buildings. It has modern air-con rooms too, with hot water and cable TV. It's a casual hang-out with wi-fi, good travel advice, and a great bar with a pool table and seriously cold beer pulled from a freezer.
