Came VERY close to booking down there this winter but decided against on account our one year old has a bad tendency to drink any water that he can find - bathtub, shower, etc. .. maybe when the rugrats are a bit older ..

Tony, I can see myself going back again. How about next year?
The snorkling off the beach was indeed very good. Even in very shallow water there were huge sea fans and large brain corals, as well as Atlantic Blue Tangs that were easily 8" long swimming about in less than 4 feet of water.
Was the pier in when you were there? Huge schools of fish hung out there because people were feeding them. I took some pictures of them with a cheapo underwater camera. The wet bag we had bought for one of our cameras failed after only one day of snorkling, so I bought the other from a store on the resort. Hopefully they turn out. Will know tomorrow.
