me and my buddies stayed at APK spa and resort and liked it. we booked it with agoda and got it for pretty cheap. its a few blocks from the beach, but like lowside said, everything is close and cheap to get around. its walking distance from the clubs, boxing stadium, and ping pong shows, if you're into that. (do it)
