the beach

relaxation

This is a truly stunning part of the beach; soft white sand washed by the gentle turquoise waters of the Caribbean and edged by rustling palms. The beach stretches to the north and to the south as far as the horizon and beyond. Days can be spent relaxing under a palapa or swinging in one of the many hammocks slung in the shade of palm trees. Reading, siestas and swimming are the order of the day or taking long walks along the water's edge and maybe stopping off for a drink or lunch in one of the many little restaurants that line the beach.

activities

There are plenty of comfortable beach beds and shades for guests to use, along with hammocks for the occassional siesta. They're all arranged close the restaurant, and drinks and snacks are served right on the beach.

Snorkeling equipment is available for those who want to explore the crystal clear waters and the hotel can arrange snorkeling and diving trips to the reef, as well as fishing tours. For true adrenaline-seekers kite-boarding lessons can also be arranged close by.

From May to October is turtle nesting time; visit the beach after dark and you may have the opportunity to see one of the giant creatures crawling ashore to lay her eggs.
