Reviews
Find us
You can easily walk to Bodhi Tree gym and property for yoga, pilates, breathwork and other classes. We are also just a short walk to Organico Market that has everything you need and Café de Paris that has a delightful bakery. There is a magical walking path that brings you to Café de Paris or down into town close to the beach. The beach walk is 15 minutes but we recommend renting quads to get around easily to all beaches with your surfboards.
