I’ve traveled all over the world, and stayed at lots of nice places, but none beats Villa Montine. The beach is right out the door and beautiful. There’s a bar/restaurant with a friendly bartender who will let you run a tab (which is great because then you don’t have to keep money on you at the beach) and essentially functions as your own personal bartender/waiter. You can rent surfboards and chairs and umbrella from the building next door - they’ll put them out for you every morning and bring them in every night. The pool area, sound system, bedding, kitchen, etc. are all awesome. The area felt very safe to us. I can’t imagine a better spot for a family beach vacation.
