Andre's place is a great location right in the middle of the action. It has no beach front but swimming is only a couple of blocks away at the Split and the beach is just across the street. The Paradisio Restaurant is practically next door and great for breakfast or lunch. The room on the second floor has a nice view of the waterfront from the balcony. Our room was comfortable and clean but the bathroom had a couple of minor maintenance issues. The AC and ceiling fan worked great. This room is part of a small hotel that maintains a front desk so advice and directions are close at hand. Make sure you have good direction for getting from the ferry to your room. Andre is a little lax about this. Tell the taxi driver you are going to the "blue" barefoot hotel. A good value at a fair price.
