So jealous now. We want to go back. The Blue Tang is right next door to where we were staying. It's a great location as it's walking distance to everywhere. No need for a golf cart unless you want to check out other parts of the island. A word of advice, you will see bumpy dirt roads to the north and bumpy dirt roads to the south. You are much better off renting a bike to do some exploring.

Reef Adventures (the dive shop we went out with) is literally at your front door. If you are diving and you go with them, you won't be disappointed. Michael, Travis, and Chucky were awesome. Let them know that Kyle and Nisha send our best.



There is a bar (Wet Willies) at the end of the same pier. That can be dangerous. Beers can be consumed anywhere, anytime. It was kind of odd walking down the street with a beer in hand and going into a restaurant or bar with it. Nobody batted an eyelash...they offered a new one when you were done.

As for food....chicken, rice and beans. It's good and we never had a bad meal. I'm not sure what you are planning, but we ate breakfast and lunch almost exclusively in our unit. There are two grocery stores behind your hotel which helped a lot.

There are so many hidden little gems to eat at. We found ourselves eating at the food vendors in the central square a great deal. You can't beat $2 burritos. Restaurants are good. Try Elvi's, Waraguma, and the Reef. We heard good things about Wild Mango and Carumba. Fidos (Fee - Doze) is a great spot on the beach for some wings and a couple of beers. They usually have live music so it can get busy.

You have to hit up Annie's bakery (a block past the grocery stores going north) for the cinnamon buns. They open at 3pm so try to get them while they are hot.

That's about it for now. If you need more info, let me know.
