An Adirondack-style lodge houses Amor de Mar's 11 rooms, paneled in dark wood and decorated sparely, so as not to distract from the views (best from the second-floor porch).
Two rooms share a bath, but the others are private.
A patio restaurant serves breakfast and lunch, emphasizing simple fare like tropical smoothies and homemade breads.
The wide front lawn gently slopes toward a rocky point, where there's a tide pool big enough to swim in.
It's a five-minute walk to the nearest sandy beach, and thrill seekers will be happy to know that Amor de Mar is close to the famed Montezuma Canopy Tour, a zip line that whizzes through treetops and down over waterfalls ($30 for two hours).
