User's opinion
Kiteboard-lessons: €220 was for 4 days, about 4 hours a day in-between rainshowers (but they were flexible). The lessons were private and very good! They take it easy, but if they see you can handle more, they'll let you. Ask for Bong at the Bom Bom Bar. Unfortunately the weather in July is rough; high waves, lots of rain and heavy winds (35 knots is normal...).

Kiteboarders hang-out with live music with a reggae feel. Very chill lounge area outside with little lights in the trees and comfy seats.

Great place for dancing all night (on the dance floor or on top of the bar...). They have great cocktails that go by the pitcher. Good music as well!

User's opinion:

My favorite. Open air dance floor, great music (trance, top-40, R&B and hip-hop) and a modern looking long bar (great for lighting up the shots!) Party doesn't really start before 11pm though.
