It is a relatively small and simple island with great beaches and no large resorts, but plenty of bungalows and banana pancakes. Find a bungalow for a few nights, lay out on the beach, and wait for the vendors to come around selling fresh fruit, coconuts, cold drinks, and whatever else you could need directly from the luxury of your sarong on the sand.
