Beach & Pool
Seaweed risk: moderate
No specific mentions of sargassum for this hotel, but it is a regional issue in the Caribbean, with varying levels of impact seasonally.
White sandy beach, though some areas are rocky for swimming (water shoes recommended). Good for walking and snorkeling from the pier. Some guests note boat traffic can make the water murky near the pier.
