I agree that this property is best used for self-imposed captivity, as an isolated, excursion-free, menu specific, retreat. But that didn't have to be the case...they could have made it be 'the best of both worlds' considering its proximity to the main island and the airport.....And that is their call to make...So, I can't argue that this is a good place to stay for excursions off the island...
But what I find puzzling, is that for someone who wants to stay a night or two, why they would welcome someone to the resort with an $85 plus taxes (probably) entrance fee. Someone will try to swim across the moat there someday to save the money! LOL
