However, it is a large pool area & most people are so busy snorkeling, visiting Mayan sites & other activities that the pool is seldom crowded.

It also removes lead, chlorine & any odors – better than the bottled water that you buy. Guest access The entire property is yours to use - the beach, the pool, the dock, everything!
