A review and story from one of our Recent Hotel Guests

 

Palm Tree Shaded Beach with Protected Waters 

The beach was perfect for us. This isn't a huge property but the few hundred yard beach-front was palm tree laden with plenty of shade and lounge chairs on most days. This is one of the best beaches we noted during our stay for comfort, shade, calm waters with a beach bar and facilities nearby.

An artificial reef was dropped in about sixty feet from shore making a block of the ocean waves and providing calm waters. Inside the reefs lagoon like setting were "reef balls." These are three foot concrete formed balls with open holes allowing for fish to find protection. This made for an excellent place for beginner snorkelers to learn to appreciate the animals of the sea. My wife and I, avid snorkelers, took time to slowly observe the interaction of the different species of fish within that ecosystem. Low tide is the best time to do this.

Quick story...One morning we noticed yellow caution tape providing a ten foot circle near the beach edge. Later a worker started digging finding a collection of nearly 200 sea turtle eggs that were set in the sands by a mother turtle the night before. The  Coconut Court people were careful to place them in a more secure area. It was an interesting process to watch and hopeful a few of those baby's will survive their walk to the ocean in some 50 days from now. It was good to see the hotels concern for the environment and the animals that live there.

The beach area was well maintained with a clean-up person there most every day raking palm tree a  sea grape leaves and such.
