*Snorkeling off of our beach. The entry to the ocean contains rocky coral which makes for better snorkeling. It is shallow and swim slowly. But the best snorkeling is taking a boat to the offshore reefs.
ADVISORY: We work hard to provide a very clean home and wonderful experience for our guests. To mitigate the risk of disruption in being prepared for every guest’s arrival, we require clean/dry clothing when sitting on our indoor furniture and no smoking. THANK YOU !

TRANSPORTATION:
From the airport: shuttle van service -arrange upon arrival; OR, Car Rental. Avis/Hertz are in the airport terminal and Thrifty/Dollar/Alamo/ are 200 yards off the airport property. There are no taxi's for Pick-up at the Airport (due to a Union rule) but Taxi’s may Take you to the airport.
Rental Cars: Do a search on a website like Travelocity to compare rates. I personally elect full insurance coverage (collision and liability)with no deductible which costs approx. $35/day.
-At our condo: TAXI's are waiting outside of our security gate at Secrets and Sunscape Hotel next door.
CONDO LOCATION: 2nd floor (out of 3 floors) in Building #2 - 35 yards to the pool and beach. Wide easy stairs to climb (NO Elevator) -security personnel are pleased to assist with your luggage (please tip them).

Fantastic - as always
I have now seen several condo's at Residencias Reef and Marks is by FAR the best. All bedrooms are comfortable and airy with great airconditioning which we never use - just leave the windows open for a great breeze. Our family loves sitting out on the large deck and when we've had enough of the kids its great to read quietly on the deck off of the master bedroom. We had friends for dinner on this trip and Mark thoughtfully provides extra folding chairs for the patio table to comfortably seat our group. Elena and Victor do a great job of making us feel at home and are very helpful. The condo itself is spotless - except for things like spices and coffee filters that make our stay even easier. The property itself is wonderful. Great pools with just enough guests to make it fun! The beach is gorgeous and we love the scuba access off of the pier next door. This was at least our 5th or 6th trip to Mark's condo - I wouldn't stay anywhere else!! We'll be back soon!!!!
