Getting There

10m from Ian Fleming (OCJ)

Flying here is a 'hack' to skip the 2h traffic-heavy drive from MBJ.

The Playbook

Mid-Week Win

Tuesday check-ins save ~$110/night compared to weekends. Book in the morning to catch inventory.

Good to Know

Sprawling Village

Rely on walking or golf carts. The lagoon is brackish (salt+fresh mix) and safe for swimming.
