At first sight, this ramshackle building halfway between the main beach and the harbor doesn't look like much-especially the cramped hostel-like foyer bristling with tourist brochures. But don't let the taint of tattiness put you off. Some of the rooms here are lovely, and the whole place has a nice atmosphere about it and plenty of character. Standard double rooms are not exceptional and come with a double bed, stone or carpet floors, a TV and VCR, a small kitchen area, and either a spa or a tub/shower combination. Family rooms have a set of bunk beds and a double in one room, and a shower. Family suites are very classy; each has a small kitchen area, one double and three singles in the bedroom, and two sofa beds in the living area. The lodge also has a communal spa, sauna, gym, laundry, table tennis, and even an Olympic-size trampoline.
