The staff were very friendly and genuine. The property is located within a 200m walk to the beach, local cafés and restaurants. The walk into the centre of town and the bulk of shops, grocery stores, souvenir shops, pharmacies, etc., is 20-30 minutes from the resort; although there is a small variety store next to the resort that sells the bare necessities (hours vary). Very quiet town/area to relax in, very laid-back vibe overall; yoga retreats, surfing and a generally chilled atmosphere everywhere that you go.
