I spent 9 days at The Front Village, it’s a great location just outside the hustle and bustle of the main town. You are situated on the main road and you can hear the taxi’s but you get use to it after a few days. The staff are very friendly and helpful,we were provided with bottles of water every day, the room had excellent air conditioning and a mini fridge and was cleaned daily. I would recommend The Front Village
