Overall we enjoyed our stay at Karena’s place. She’s really gone out of her way to provide lots of detailed suggestions in her guidebook about where to eat, what to do, etc. The place was super clean and up to date. The location is convenient to the beach, but we didn’t find appealing coffee / food options in close walking distance, which we always appreciate when traveling. This is a very lively, touristy, somewhat loud location that appeals to a younger crowd - if that’s what you’re looking for, Karena’s place is a great choice. The internet wasn’t working when we arrived, which Karena and her assistant took care of within a timely manner, but the water temp was lukewarm at best for most of our stay, which we felt could have been addressed more quickly.
