The Harmony Hotel

Rooms

The 24 clean, modern bedrooms (though the impression is of half as many) are a mix of Cocos Rooms (standard doubles) and 1-Bedroom Bungalows.There's also a 2-Bedroom Suite Bungalow hidden in the garden.

All are built with the environment in mind; clearly much thought was put into their materials and the imprint they would leave. Aptly, their modern take on 70s surf culture décor and furnishings are simple and unfussy for good reason: so as not to distract from the real purpose of your stay - getting outside.

Fittings are simple - white walls, white sheets on enormous kingsize beds, wooden side tables and coffee tables, terracotta tiled floors, high beamed ceilings, tin roofs, a minibar stuffed with post-surfing health bars, free WiFi, and much-needed air con and ceiling fans.



The functional but spacious tiled bathrooms have delicious shampoos and body washes by Red Flower, a US range of organic, 100% biodegradable and biocompatible beauty products. When you shower, the water is then reused to water the hotel’s banana trees, ginger plants and heliotropes.

Facing the pool, Cocos Rooms lie along the 2 open-air corridors of the horseshoe-shaped main building. Smaller and cheaper in price, these rooms have the treat of an enclosed wood-decked patio with a heated shower and hammocks. There’s a small bathroom and shower inside for those unwilling to lather up alfresco.

The bungalows, set in the tropical garden, are bigger and more private (though still close enough to each other that we could hear our neighbours’ children in the morning - ask for a bungalow on the outskirts of the gardens). Each has a seating area inside with jaunty striped sofas (including a sofabed) and bamboo armchairs for lounging, a bathroom with a shower, and a lovely raised deck outside with rocking chairs, hammocks and plenty of room for surfboards and bicycles (bungalows 15, 16 and 26 have outdoor showers too.) For families or groups there’s also a bungalow with 2 bedrooms, a sofa bed and 1 large bathroom with a bath and shower, plus an outdoor shower.
