The hotel is not in Station 1, in fact, it is in Diniwod which is before station 1. It is about 2 miles from station 2, where all the action is, but lwe loved the location. Station 2 and 3 are busy and full of shops, restaurants, bars and a bunch of locals trying to sell you sailing, tours, scuba, etc... Diniwod was private, with a great restaurant and an amazing bay to swim. They have a free shuttle into town and it was only 100 pasos to take a trike a back. We love the bars at night but it was so great to have the quiet beach during the day.
