The food was really good (no need to go to town), the place was clean, beautiful garden areas, fun flamingos, iguanas, peacocks and coati to watch. Great location for getting to the diving/snorkel areas right from the dock, and rooms were nice.
The smell from the more eco friendly sanitation/sewer tanks was heavy at times when walking in certain areas. You get a bit used to it, and you can feel happy that this place is caring about the environment. Hopefully, the hotel can improve this with time. The room smelled perfectly fine and each room has an air purifier. The water from special filtration sites next the the bungalows is safe to drink and at all meals too.
The hotel has a full diving/snorkel/diving school company on site. It was great not having to go elsewhere. We also had a blast taking the small catamaran out which is included with hotel plus ($6) Ecological entrance fee per person.
Bring your own snorkel gear if possible as the hotel and the diving place does not rent them out to take off site. You can only use them while on a snorkel or diving tour. You don’t need fins to do other locations near the shore, but you could do more if you had them.
Bring “reef safe sunscreen” with you. This is the only kind allowed in the ocean in this protected area. The sunscreen at the shop on site is $26 USD.
We rented a scooter for two days to visit other areas to snorkel. Don’t ride the scooters on the nice “bicycle only” small streets that parallel the main road.
