The cheapest of the three options, but comparable in quality, Cloud Forest is well run and a great value choice for backpackers. Rooms are a bit small but open onto an airy balcony and chill outdoor common area with thatched-grass covered picnic tables and hammocks scattered about. The large dining and lounge area, reminiscent of a ski lodge, is perfect for unwinding après-hike with its cozy woodstove and festive corner bar, serving up everything from cappuccino to piña coladas to whiskey. There’s also a book exchange and internet for $5 an hour if you’re desperate. At $8 per person with shared bath including breakfast and a hearty dinner (add $2 for private bath), the place is a real area bargain.

Just down the hill, on the left, past Mama Hilda's as you head out of town.
