Offering three-night (as opposed to weekly) minimum stays, this spot is relatively affordable for the area. The studios and beachside casitas here are spacious spreads with fully equipped kitchens, lovely tilework and private porches with hammocks. The enormous upstairs 'house' can accommodate a small army, but only six are allowed. Located 500m south of the Bahías de Punta Solimán entrance.
