Please listen to the tourists and gringos who dont live there and rather vacation there. Some people just want credit for sending us tourists to there resort since they know owners well. Read Read Read other posts which tell all about real time experiences that are recent, please. Its nice to be near by your place of stay for all sorts of reasons. Changing batteries in camera, charging cameras, changing cloths grabbing more cashola etc. Less taxi rides and all that stuff. If you want seclusion, well head north. you want to meet the islanders and get to know the area real good, wonder about when you feel like it, stay in town, right on the south side is by far the best location, all business matters aside.
