Dining: Three restaurants offering international cuisine

Adventure: Margarita's private yacht, Endeavour for excursions

“This resort is well-situated for exploring the area's varied beaches. The option to charter a private yacht elevates the experience, and it is also the closest dive resort to Islas Catalinas, so that makes it very appealing for scuba enthusiasts. I think the all-inclusive plan, covering meals and drinks, simplifies the stay.”
