Ich empfehle:
A guest house run by a local family. This place cannot be booked online. It is okay to simply show up.
To get there: you can find this guest house on Google Maps. It is located right on the main square, next to the boat port. This means that once you disembark, the accommodation is less than a one-minute walk away. All you have to do is turn left on the path leading away from the square. Hospedajes Cofalito is one of the first buildings opposite the police station.
