Esta isla es maravillosa, hay mucha paz allí. Si o si llevar repelente porque los mosquitos atacan muy fuerte. Es un lugar precioso y tranquilo pero alejado de todo. Yo fui en agosto y había mucho sargazo y olor fuerte como para meterse al mar pero para pasar el rato en la playa y caminar es espectacular, muy seguro y con poquísima gente

Nos estafaron con el valor de la cuenta. Nos dijeron que era happy hours y nos cobraron los 4 tragos al 100%. Nos ofrecieron para cenar una picada de mar. Todo nos cobraron mas de 300 usd. Cuando la picada estaba 160usd, no podríamos haber gastado el doble en bebidas ni por casualidad
