Backpackers Paradise is a wonderful place to slow down. The art of doing nothing was our theme, coming from our home in NY. We stayed for 10days and spent our mornings making breakfast in the communal room, our afternoons exploring the town by foot and sometime on bike too, we found a small beachy area which we relaxed at almost every single day, evenings were for winding down, reading, drawing, hanging out with others staying at the cabana. The 3 horses added more fun to the trip- love horses! Nathalie was always available to help and gave us good travel advice for getting to our next location. The room #3 was spacious and worth the extra buck for our lengthy stay. We suggest to come with cash as there is no place to withdrawal from a debit card in the small village. Nathalie was able to give us cash back a few times- thank you Nathalie !! We would suggest this place to stay to anyone- overnight, a few days or over a week. Find the fast food which opens after 5/6pm, instead of Crabbys if you're on a budget. You will make a peaceful home in Sarteneja!
