Depending upon the season, there are neighborhood street events and bazaars with great fun, great food and great people watching.

For something requiring less effort, you can relax and have prepare dinner in the fully equipped kitchen and dine as evening turns to night and the lights along the shore are a ruby and diamond necklace outlining the bay. Or dine on the terrace by the pool. Walk down our steps to stroll along the beach. During the day, snorkel, swim, and sunbathe, then order drinks or a meal under restaurant palapas— just minutes away on the beach.

Whether or not you like bird watching or whale watching, you will enjoy seeing dolphins and whales that winter in the bay as they dive and spout, and observe the pelicans diving for fish or flying overhead with terns, green mealy parrots and other avian creatures.
