Originally the Estuary Beach Camp, the resort moved and switched names after a large part of it was washed away in a flood. It's now positioned right next to a long stretch of beach just outside of town, and it's great. The rooms are made of palm, wih large double beds and good quality mosquito netting, and the price per night is very reasonable (as I remember, I paid about $8 a night for a single).
There is a lovely restaurant on the premises which serves both 'continental' food (chicken, rice, fish, potatoes, fried yams) and local dishes (see my entry under 'local cuisine'). The staff are friendly, and there is a small gift shop on the premises. One on one drumming lessons were also on offer while I was there.
The beach is right outside the entrance, and the water very refreshing - although one has to be careful of the very strong undertow. Remember, the nearest life-guards are in Europe!
My planned two-day stay here turned into five, and I strongly recommend the place to anyone wanting to kick back and relax a little, and just shoot the breeze with whoever happens to drift in.
To get there, catch a long-distance minibus to 'Little Ada' (as opposed to 'Big Ada'), and a private taxi will take you from the bus park to the hotel.
