The beds are comfortable, in-room safes are provided, and the restaurant serves food and cold drinks while you marvel at the view (breakfast and dinner). The lodge is also a popular hangout with travelers and guests perusing the book exchange, boardgames or drink menu all day and night. They've got potable well water so as not to sell water bottles & have recycling bins. Prices can a bit higher than the other comparable lodging on the island, but their entry rate of $20/night for a cabina with shared bath is a decent deal-they have beautiful, clean grounds and views, are relatively easy to get to, and family friendly..

Further north, there are 3 places all next to each other, which have the cheapest huts on the island, beachfront restaurants in the sand serving whatever is available that day, and little to distinguish them from each other.
