My wife and I had a great time at Cinnamon's beach house. We were looking for some time to "get away from it all", and this definitely qualified. Cinnamon is great at keeping in touch and providing tips for being prepared for this remote location. She gets local help from the managers of the nearby Calypso hotel, Reves and Sabo. They checked on us each day, and kept us supplied with fuel for the generator. They were very friendly and helpful. We spent a day fishing with the two of them and caught more fish than we could eat. We shared the excess with the guys working the hotel.
The guys showed us around the place to demonstrate how everything works, but Cinnamon also has a welcome binder that gives you all the info you need.
When we didn't feel like making our own food, we checked out what was going on at the restaurant of the Itza hotel.
We did some snorkeling just off shore in front of the house. Mostly there is sea grass in this area, but about 100 yards straight out from the house, there is a bed of sand among the sea grass with a nice variety of fish. We saw queen angels, cowfish, squirrelfish, hermit crab, grunts, jacks, barracuda, trigger, anemone, yellow tail, a couple of rays swam by, and more that I can't remember to name. So not bad for just puttering around in front of the house.
If a person were inclined, there is plenty of scuba to do in the area as well.
Reves lent us a couple of kayaks and we paddled all the way around the island. Including a couple snorkeling breaks, the whole trip took about four hours.
We had a good breeze blowing off the ocean the whole time we were there, and had no problem with mosquito's. We hear that when the wind dies down, they can be quite the pest, but we did not experience that ourselves.
All in all, we found Cinnamon's house to be in a great location, and provided the peaceful getaway that we were looking for.
