This surprisingly pleasant hotel boasts manicured gardens, a gym, a sauna and a sparkling palm-fringed swimming pool only a short walk from the airport. The standard rooms are a little undersized, while the deluxe rooms, while mildly more expensive, are superb, with tiled floors and porches on the leafy courtyard. Go for room 40 (US$40).
