CONVENIENT!! Took the bus from the airport, unpacked on my bunk, grabbed Teddy's Bigger Burger (practically right next door), and crossed the street to the beach in time for sunset! The pancakes in the morning are amazing. The group activities are great.
Common area so comfortable and pancakes are delicious.
Beautiful sunset across the street
