A new Dentist and hair dressers and fresh fish and fruit and veg can be bought also there are many Sari Sari shops on site,There is also a Wake Board Park here currently undergoing renevation there is a retaurant which is still open also this is where the expats living on this subdivision and areas close have a meeting every Tuesday, There are also many Tricycles and Taxis available , As far as Security is concerned there is a Gatehouse and unarmed security Guards there is also a Police station located close to the Guard House. This a generally quiet subdivion apart from the usual dogs barking and Roosters , depending of course where you live
