If you love wildlife, this is the place. Snorkeling with lovely marine life and coral just outside water villas, monitor lizards, monkeys, birds. All water sport activities are included except diving - snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boards. They have a dive centre, 1 day advanced booking for those with dive licenses. For PADI certification courses book with them in advance. Jungle trekking is available too. There is a spa and gym. They have a games room and bar, though bar is not open yet. There is 1 restaurant for all meals (all delivious but pricey). The pool has a great view of the ocean and surrounding islands, although the water is a little murky. The staff are all amazingly friendly and really helpful - shout out to Rechey the dive guide and Eduardo at the restaurant and Karl the manager - all lovely, helpful and constantly asking if they can do more for you. Rooms are comfortable, nice, clean albeit a little dated and worn (the sea does ruin things quickly), but we loved our stay as there was a lot of outdoors to explore.
The only thing I would say would be the obvious plastic trash problem which washes in. May I suggest leaving long nets outside the doors of each room - incentivise the guests to help net the trash when they see it. Have beach clean up days every week where guests comb the beach at low tide together (provide gloves and bags and perhaps a free beer at the end), let us be part of the solution to a more eco friendly environment too.
