An exciting village in the middle of the big city.

Had a very nice stay. Its a safe, little haven in the middle of a busy city, close to the water, good restaurants and the boat out to Bongoyo Island. It offers a variety of activitys and shopping, and even a playground for the children. The staff is very helpfull, and nice.
