Jungle Monkey

The Wild Coast


Music booms through the trees as you approach this casual hang-out, with its desert-island bar-restaurant overlooking the pool. Rooms are colourful and comfortable (especially the Monkey View) and distant from any party noise, while dorms are more basic. Hiking, activities and day trips are on offer. Lights meals are available. A safe choice, just south of the centre.
