The police captain turned hotelier knows a thing or two about fighting?his previous career was spent battling communist guerrillas who once roved the hills fomenting revolution. His stories lend color to a stay at this cheap and cheerful resort, with its 54 bracingly basic rooms. "Some people say there are still guerrillas out there who never surrendered," he says, and I'm suddenly glad to be safe behind the hotel fence.
