The Billabong

Frommer's Review

This hotel attracts the laid-back group of travelers who want something a little more luxe than the basic $5 (£2.75) backpacker deal. Everything is done in navy blue and white and feels a bit like an old-fashioned cabana or low-key country club. Rooms are basic, with navy sheets and red silk bed throws. Bathrooms do not have a separate shower unit, but it's clean and tidy. Staff is ultra friendly here and the outdoor pool is an excellent little oasis after a day of touring the city. Spring for a room with a poolside view, it's worth the extra $2 (£1.10).
