Field notes
90m drive from MBJ
The road is the busy coastal highway (A1). Book a private transfer; driving is stressful.
Tuesday Start
Shift arrival to Tuesday for best pricing. Morning rates are slightly lower than evenings.
Cliffside
No sandy beach. Enter water via ladders or cliff jumps. All-Inclusive, but feels like a boutique home.
