We'll be there in a little over a month as well, at Xtabi. We have been staying there for about 20 years, and have stayed in almost all of the rooms and cottages at one time or another. I have lots of pics...but putting my hands them might take some time...lol, too many pics I guess.

The walk to town is very doeable during the day...and you will pass both on the rocks and Miyard. I personally would definitely not walk it at night, as the road is narrow around Samsara and other spots. You can grab a cab so easily, and it's better to be safe than sorry. You have Just Natural next door, 3 Dives on the other side...and M&L is close for supplies etc.

Look forward to meeting you there....
