Comparing Nirvana to Charela isn't exactly apples to apples. Both have an amazing beach with plenty of room, but Charela has a restaurant, bar, pool and a few nights of live entertainment, that Nirvana do not offer. That being said, We typically chose Nirvana's beach veranda room for it's quietness (we usually travel off season). Your bed is literally steps from your beach chair, and only a few more to the waters edge. We do love Charela and would stay there again in an instant, but if Nirvana or Idle Awhile Beach have availability.......... Either way you can't go wrong and will have a great vacation!.
