We stayed for two days in an Eco resort right on the beach. It was a tent accommodation, very simple with all utilities but comfortable. The resort did not have any fancy metal barriers,and the verandah had beach chairs and hammocks. After dinner, we had a relaxing lie down on the hammocks with the sea breeze soothing our nerves.
