At first glimpse Yakah Bungalows seems to be a pretty good deal -- a handful of cute air-con units running sideways to the beach, each with a view and a reasonable price tag considering the location. Huts are well made from a blend of cement and pebble, with large glass windows. Perhaps a touch dated but most of the other rooms in such locations are double the price. However, and this is a key point, it runs besides an unexplainable canal which carries stinky sewage from the street to the beach! One wonders what planners were thinking, as this could certainly become a health issue in the future. On a bad day it really honks.
