7 / 10Good·Aug 2026
The value of Sawa Sawa was exceptional, but let's be clear: the price is low and accordingly, these accommodations are very basic. If you come in with moderate expectations, all will be well. And, though the nearby stretch of beach is quite dirty (not Sawa Sawa's fault), it is great for sunrise pics.
The walk from the road is quite long and tuk tuks won't go all of the way, so be prepared to walk.
