Coconut Hostel
True to its name, coconuts line the garden out front; some of them bursting at the seams as new palm fronds grow out of the old husks. A hollowed green pipa and a conch shell sit atop the miniature wood-core tables beside the sprouting palms and pink ginger flowers. Beside them, guests recline in deck chairs beneath shaded umbrellas on the patio outside Coconut Hostel.
