Happy New Year! I can't speak directly on the rustic cottages, but we stayed at Kuyaba in May 2012 and wouldn't hesitate to go back. I agree they are a great value at a great location on the beach. When we checked in, we were greeted by our first names and the customer service continued to impress us all around. I can't begin to express how impressed I was of the bartenders, housekeeping, groundskeepers and security. It is a place I will continue to visit on every reach regardless of if we are staying there. One word of advice. Bourbon Beach is next door and some nights can get loud. I recommend taking a long nap and staying up late that night to enjoy the show.

P.S. Get the mountain pepper shrimp and a rum punch!
