The location is excellent - nice to be able to park the car (in a confirmed space), and walk or take the bus. Easy access to the beach, but not too many close options (walking distance) for restaurants and shopping. We liked the villa as well as the compound. The biggest frustration is that we had the villa right next to the main road, and it was extremely noisy due to vehicular traffic and late-night partiers. As there is no air conditioning or fans, we had to keep the windows open. This also made the noise (especially the mopeds) much more noticable. Be sure to request units other than #3 if this is a concern for you.
