Lívingston
Beautiful simple wood and bamboo rooms set back 200m from a reasonably clean beach. Day-trippers going to and from Los Siete Altares drop in for meals (Q50 to Q100) and drinks here – otherwise you may have the place to yourself.
It's 500m from the swing bridge where the road ends – a tuk-tuk will charge about Q5 to get you there, a taxi Q10.
