I lived here in the summer 2005 with the crew; Brian Dabbs, Janice Gaudett, Aryon Marteli and Dave Dankers. Most of us stayed at the Centabay Hostel and worked in exchanged for board. Me & Dave worked at The Cruza Bar, where we were treated like family. So much to do, Russel, fires on the beach, bars, paragliding, water tours, etc. Centabay is the most laidback hostel, not super touristy, sports a diverse group in all ways, kayacks and bikes available. Make sure to check out THE CRUZA BAR, say hello to the owners Bob & Lezzlie, the manager Shelly and all the Locals, Shaq, Snow, Lonnie, etc.
