The moment we walked in staff welcomed us, offered us a drink from the open bar. Went over the amenities. Rooms were clean. We really liked the bonus feature of this boutique hotel where they offer complimentary drinks, coffee. Great stay!

Feb 16, 2020Go with a tour that has the clear kayaks, you can see the glowing fish and phytoplankton under you. Don’t bring valuables or anything that will get wet and don’t wear bug spray, it contaminated the water when you put your hands and arms in. Forget the camera and phone, you can’t capture the glow without a special camera. Mosquito Bay was not named because of mosquitos. We didn’t get bit at all.

Jul 13, 2019We did kayak tour at night. It was beautiful views of the sky. The bio light is like glitter in the water. Our tour was 3 mile kayak with some against current in some very dark areas of the water but something to check off bucket list!
