THE BAR, across from our cabana	OUR CABANA, either #9 or #14 the number on the door wasn't very clear.

The cabins, or bungalows, come in various sizes: two bed; one bed and hammock; one bed; one hammock, no bed.

Bring your own hammock or buy one from the office.

	The white waves in the background is the surf breaking on a reef.

You can also rent a place to pitch a tent, or hang a hammock, or just sleep on the sand.

BIN EXAMINES THE PILE OF THE CARPETING Note the candles on the wall.	I WAS CHECKING OUT THE ROOF STRUCTURE

There is no water or electricity.

The cabins are basically four walls. The lower portion of the walls are poured concrete. The upper portion is wood on the outside which is lined with a layer of concrete.

There is no floor or foundation. The walls are built directly on the sand.

The sand has to be constantly shoveled away form the doors and the walls as it is being constantly shifted by the winds.

BANOS (BATHROOMS), THEY ALSO HAVE A SHOWER INSIDE	DUCHAS (SHOWERS)

The temperature of the water depends on how long the sun has been shining on the reservoir on the roof.

BIRDS GATHER AS FISHERMEN CAST THEIR NET The reef breaks the waves, making the swimming near the beach more pleasant.	ALL IS NOT ALWAYS SERENE

There is great snorkeling on the reef. One of the small boats will take you out, for a price.

I'M NOT SURE, BUT I THINK, IT IS CALLED KITE BOARDING	THIS MAN AND HIS TWO FRIENDS WERE AT IT FOR SEVERAL HOURS

Definitely more strength in their arms than I.

`08 MARCH - ADDENDUM

In `08 we wanted to spend a couple of nights on the sand but, after Hurricane Wilma the only thing left of our little cabin was part of one wall sticking, at an angle, out of the sand.

We enquired about a different cabin but their rates had jumped to a minimum of P500 and the manager didn't seem very friendly.

After a bit of searching around we decided to stay at the motel next door, to the North.

The price was the same P500 but it wasn't like last time, concrete instead of sand for the floor, electricity instead of candles for light.
