immediately after they\u2019ve been swept.&nbsp; The place is clean and bright, with lots of windows, air-conditioned guest rooms, a big courtyard for parking, and beach towels and swimsuits drying on every balcony.&nbsp; The hosts (Gakha and Maia) are so welcoming and relaxed, and the beach at Gonio-Kvatania so uncrowded, clean, and mellow that we decided to stay another night at the hotel and spend today at the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two chaises with nice cushions plus one umbrella for the day set us back 30 lari (less than $20) and we relaxed after yesterday\u2019s long, rough drive across the mountainous Adjara region. &nbsp; We lounged, dunked, read, napped, dunked, and bought snacks from vendors who trudged up and down the shingle all day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;galleryId&quot;:&quot;6a91445216e23&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/gallery\" class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default
