An eclectic collection of dorms, huts and rooms set in a garden next to the beach, long-standing Big Milly's is popular, fun and sociable. There's a good restaurant (mains C18 to C80), a 24-hour bar and live music at the weekends. It can get noisy, however, so if you're looking for peace and quiet, head elsewhere.
