Pros (+) Turtles on the beach - we were fortunate to be there at nesting time.
Cons (-) Unfortunately the weather was against us and the semi-submersible was cancelled, the snorkel boat was cancelled and there were no tours of the research station. This was beyond the control of the resort but was disappointing.
