After a day of rain and the startling realization that our beachfront location wasn't as appealing in the midst of a downpour, and, in the absence of any extraneous creature-comforts (in the name of total relaxation and being unplugged - all well and good if you've got sun, sand and surf), there really wasn't a whole lot to do at Hotel Las Palapas, we decided to move our accommodations into town. We landed at the well executed Hotel Deseo, a beautiful oasis of good design and modernism awash in a sea of overpriced hammocks and badly cast pottery swathed in lead-tainted paint. Other than being just a bit to self-aware of it's uber-hip status, Hotel Deseo was a comfortable dream. I'd recommend it, and stay there again in a heartbeat.
