Pros: none
Cons: uninteresting, user unfriendly

Pros: Nice location
Cons: The resort needs more restaurants with more varieties
Summary: I stayed at the Crane, a lovely resort hotel. It was located at the perfect spot, in my opinion. It is located on a spot of the island where there are no other hotels around. It is also located on a hill so you have a nice overlook view from your room. ... read more

Pros: Wonderful entertainment, gorgeous scenery, great service, and amazing time.

Pros: Beaches, fun, sailing, deep sea diving, great hotels, and the best family vacation.
Cons: The mosquitoes. Bring lots of spray.

Pros: Special experiences
Cons: Limited comfort, no nightlife

Pros: Crystal-clear water; easily accessible; popular holiday site for Venezuelans
Cons: Aggressive merchants with in-your-face selling tactics

Pros: Beaches, Reasonable Prices, Sunsets
Cons: None
