Debi answered all my questions quickly with accurate responses. Upon arrival the casita was super clean and we were happy with the extra little things like cooler, camping chairs, blow up water floaties, washer dryer etc that made our stay even more enjoyable. Orchid bay was a great place if you dont like the all inclusive resorts, the rushes of people, loud partiers etc. The grounds were beautiful with maintained flowers and palm trees. The sand on the beach was great, paths for bike rides and paddleboards were not extra which I appreciated very much.
Casita 9a is extra special being the farthest away it makes it even more secluded as no neighbour's on 3 sides. You also pretty much have your own beach and dock on that side too. The water is milky so if you want to snorkel you need to offsite. We took a boat tour. Immediatelywhen we left dolphins were jumping all around the boat. When we snorkled the reef we saw a nurse shark, sting Ray's, barracudas, turtles, crabs, lobsters and puffer fish amongst the obvious amazing fishies. Our guide was wonderful and I wasnt scared at all.
Thanks Jeff and Debi!
