Port Rating:

The water was quite chilly. We went in mid-January. We were able to go swimming but we are used to chilly water (New England). The water was crystal clear and if it had been warmer we would have enjoyed snorkeling.

The main beach area was extremely crowded. For a quieter beach experience, we walked down away from the main area to the second cove. There were plenty of beach chairs set up at all of the beaches. The sun was extremely hot. We ended up sitting on some chairs under the scrubby trees on the hill. It was a nice view.

Overall the island is not a lovely place -- the vegetation is sparse and all the trees are artificially brought in. If you want to be in the shade you are sitting on some kind of loamy brown mulch they have planted the trees in.
