Over a mile of gorgeous beach begins just steps from your room. On arrival you'll be allocated your own palapa shade with two sun loungers - no need to get up early to find the perfect spot, those chairs will always be ready for you. The turquoise-hued Caribbean is perfect for swimming, and you can arrange water sports at a dive shop just a short walk away.

It's possible to snorkel off the beach (the reef is a short boat ride away, but there are some rocks under the water here that make for interesting snorkeling). At sunset, a stroll along the beach is the perfect start to a romantic evening at Al Cielo.
