Boca Gentil has villas right on the sea, but those are at the high end of the market. 3 Palabrua sits in a third option: Jan Sofat, a gated community directly next to Jan Thiel \u2014 quieter, smaller, and with the bay on your doorstep.<\/p>\n        <p>Ten minutes by car and your feet are in the sand on Jan Thiel Beach.
