Privledge alexus offers a great hotel experience with friendly staff and excellent service. Although the hotel is due for some modernization, the staff's kindness and great service make up for it. The hotel even offers a free bed on the beach and a free bottle of champagne to guests, although these can be declined.

Club De Playa at Garrafon De Castilla is a great spot for snorkeling without the hassle of a tour. For a much lower price than most official snorkeling tours, you can bring your own gear and swim from the beach. Just head to the park where everyone snorkels and you'll find this spot. Be aware that most tours require you to wear life jackets, which can defeat the purpose of snorkeling.

Deisy & Raul's is a fantastic little spot. Great food and reasonable. They make things in their own little kitchen. It's worth going for their enchiladas suizas, which are reportedly so good.

Restaurants & Cafés •Klaus Mueller

Xantolo was excellent two weeks ago, with service, food, and happy hour cocktails. It's touristy but very good, and a must-visit for cochinita pibil and carne en su jugo. You can't go wrong with either Olivia or Xantolo, but Xantolo offers a unique experience.

Rosa Sirena is an excellent option for a birthday dinner. Located mid-island, not far from Mango Cafe, it offers excellent cocktails and a menu to match. Get a table in the upper palapa area for a more secluded and romantic experience. Their live music, which features an acoustic guitar and vocals, is a nice touch and adds to the ambiance. The staff is and the desserts are freshly baked, a true delight.
