Mtig - you'll love Charela. We stayed there for the first time over Christmas/NY and loved it - we're already booked to go back for Christmas/NY 2015-2016. It never felt crowded on the beach, and I was pleasantly surprised at how much shade was provided by the palm trees; we didn't miss our favourite almond tree at Coco like I thought we would. The staff at Charela are exceptional, they go above and beyond, even if they've never seen you before. Any questions, I'll be happy to answer if I can.
