The immediate area is lively with the on-site Buccaneer Diving and Aquaholics Kite & Surf School, plus the hotel's own Ocean Restaurant, bar, café, and snack bar. Many restaurants and shops are within easy walking distance in the village.

The hotel is located directly on the beachfront in the center of Paje village, so you'll be dropped right at the entrance.
