We were needing a quiet get away for the weekend, and that is what we got. We were happy. Supermarket with vegetables and fruits within a few blocks. The beach is about 4 blocks away.

breezy rooftop with a view.

Stayed here while we got scuba certified in town. This is a really relaxing hostel, with a breezy covered rooftop with a view of the ocean. 4 blocks up the hill, worth the walk for getting to eat at places other than on the beach strip, and we were there on the hottest month.
