Creator's Key Takeaways

It's an incredibly beautiful beach with the most amazing fine white sand and the most gorgeous turquoise sea.

But, overall, it's a pretty good experience, much better than, for example, Princess Cays.

This is without doubt one of the most beautiful beaches I've ever visited and it's one of the reasons I would choose another cruise on Holland America.

I think that would be much better.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Book a shore excursion to avoid waiting for tender tickets.
โœ“Arrive early to get free loungers and avoid umbrella theft.
โœ“Check the app or website for pricing on cabanas and villas before your sailing.
โœ“Bring cash for drinks, as the drinks package doesn't work on the island.

Tendering process โ€” The tendering process is quick and easy, but book a shore excursion to avoid waiting for tickets.
Costs for amenities โ€” Sun loungers are free, but umbrellas cost $30; check app/website for cabana and villa pricing.
