Tranquilseas EcoLodge

This place is an awesome destination if you hate touristy crowds, don't feel the need to go out every night, and are committed to scuba diving. You can stay here and just snorkel and play around, but I feel like it would get boring. The beach is narrow and there's a bit too much boat traffic and shallow reef for open water swimming or snorkeling on your own. Walking along the main road is a fool's errand unless you enjoy diving into a ditch every time a car comes along. Basically you have to take a taxi to go anywhere, which is fine, but kind of a bummer if you like exploring on foot, on your own. But if you like diving, you can dive your face off, right from the resort and for a reasonable price, so that's what we did. When we weren't diving, we were either sitting on the private deck of our room, or on the deck of the restaurant, both of which have spectacular views. The only downside of the restaurant is that they played the same 7 Bob Marley songs over and over again most nights we were there. Except for the night where they played the same 7 BeeGees songs. It was very weird. All in all, we loved it here and would stay again...if we hadn't discovered Palmetto Bay.Read more
