Calabash Bight Vacations from $691

We had the most wonderful, comfortable stay at Puerta Azul. We fully intend to go back next year!

I want to start by saying that Britney was absolutely great, she was very friendly and helpful. When we arrived we were received by a blond heavy set woman wearing red lipstick, she was rude and combative I really wasn't sure why since I had never seen her in my life, she started by asking if we would be needing a ride to the airport and that we need to to let her know right there and then otherwise we wouldn't be able to be allow to get a ride, we also paid for a studio room and we were send to a basic rundown room that not even the toilet worked. After a whole day of trying to figure out what would happen to the toilet in the room Britney was kind enough to move us to a more comfortable room than where we were put in. The food is not the best they put this chimichury sauce that's not even chimichury is just garlic and oil on everything, we had to get mostly most dinners outside the resort since I couldn't really stomach all the food that was serve, Mostly I had Fruit and coffee. some staff were nice others were absolutely rude and just disrespectful period, there were two older guys part of the staff that were so nasty that I wasn't sure what their issue was.

The grounds were beautiful. There was a bit of a big problem as we had huge cockroaches and lots of bugs got into our clothes. It was hard to find a place to keep toothbrushes so that bugs wouldn't get in. It was quiet l, but remote. A car is recommended. Staff was nice, but didn't seem very experienced. We tried eating several times in the restaurant or bar, but they literally never got the order right. It took so long to get the food, it was hard to send it back and face more wait times. But I'm a pescatarian and they kept bringing me food with meat, though I'd ordered a vegetarian meal. One day my son ordered a burger and got some steak and lobsterv dish that wasn't even on the menu. It cost an extra $50, but we just let him eat it versus waiting another hour. We eventually just rented a car and ate outside of the resort.

Ibaragi is such a special place—every detail is aesthetically spot-on. From the beautiful Garifuna-inspired artwork to the sweet tangerine scent, everything feels thoughtfully curated. The high ceilings in the rooms add a sense of openness and calm, and the staff are incredibly attentive and genuinely kind. It's a place that truly leaves an impression.

Wonderful place to use a base for diving one of the best dive sites in the world - Mary’s Place!
