Comments We had a two bedroom two bath full kitchen condo on the beach side of the road. We were able to cook meals every night, which was much better than the resort restaurant. (There fish fry night had very little fish. Good bar though on an outdoor deck.) The condo was well maintained and comfortable. The beach is not much.

Ocean Frontiers is one of the best run day boat operations I have come across. They have two boats. The newer boat is more comfortable, other than that, not much difference. We went out for two dives in the morning and back around lunch time.

The reefs are in good shape, which surprised me, given all of the reports about algae in the Caribbean.
