Need information on the difference between West & South Coast. I can not get a feel from what I have read on the the two areas and how long it takes to drive.
4 of us will be going and need a villa, apartment or resort, we are flexible. We want to stay on the beach near nightlife, restaurants, and bars so we don't have to drive far at night. However, we don't want to stay in an area that is very Tourist with hotels on top of each other and plus beaches so packed we can't get a chair.
Really need someone to point me in the right direction plus give me tips on driving and getting around with our own car.

West coast--calm water for snorkeling, not congested, decent selection of bars, restaurants, entertainment (incl. at hotels).Many villas on west coast beaches.
South coast--more congested, more bars, restaurants, entertainment, rougher water at beaches, generally less expensive.
