This is an awesome place to stay. Right on the beach and in the middle of Hopkins. Someone in my family accused me of photoshopping myself into a photo of the beach right outside my door. It's that beautiful! recommend that you spend time talking with these wonderful hosts. Having lived there for over 25 years, both Tricia and Doug are a wealth of information. Tricia will start communicating with you right after you make a booking all the way to the time of departure. Make sure to rent a bicycle to see the entire village. Depending on how many stops you make, it takes about an hour. There is a restaurant on the beach two buildings away. You will get good meals for around US $7 to $8. The rooms are excellent and the prices are great. I am NOT a backpacker and my room (the Seahorse) was perfectly fine for me. Being here really allows you to appreciate what world travel is supposed to be, an opportunity to experience another culture up close.
