Traveler reviews
★★★★★
Best marlin fishing I've experienced. The guides knew the water intimately, and we landed three striped marlin in a single day. The boat, crew, and fish tacos afterward were all perfect.

★★★★☆
Beautiful destination with world-class beaches. The resort was excellent, though the organized excursions felt touristy. Better to explore on your own if you rent a car.

★★★★★
Incredible diving and snorkeling at nearby reefs. The water visibility was exceptional, and we spotted mantas, morays, and vibrant coral gardens. The heat was intense but manageable.
