Very clean, affordable and well equipped. A very private place to stay if not a little noisy. This is to be expected as the airport is quite close, not much of a problem though. It is close to town and a 24/7 servo just down the road. A bar on the beach a little bit further on. Good snorkeling on a quite stretch of lagoon. I highly recommend it. ##### Wayne W.
