Menai Bay Beach Bungalows

The hotel is a little run down but it is quiet and peaceful with comfortable rooms and very friendly and helpful staff. It opens onto the beach which is right next to a busy fishing village with a daily fish auction which is fascinating to watch. The rooms are very reasonably priced, somewhat balanced out by fairly expensive food. The menu is short but everything is freshly cooked to order and substantial. It's a bit off the beaten track but it's possible to walk to the village and pick up a dalla dalla or the manager can arrange a taxi or their own transport if you're lucky. The beach is very shallow so the water disappears at low tide but is good for swimming when the tide is in. Unfortunately quite a few plastic bottles etc. Great sunsets. Excellent island snorkeling trips can be booked through Eco+Culture and it's also possible to get local fishermen to take you out if you meet the right person.
