Captain Morgan's Retreat

Description:

• Captain Morgan's is a large, lively, and well-equipped resort on a long and lovely section of beach. The rooms are either individual beachfront casitas, or one- or two-bedroom villas set in a series of two-story units. All feature thatch roofs and wood construction, as well as attractive Guatemalan bedspreads and varnished wood furnishings. Every room comes with a private balcony or veranda, and all are modern, comfortable, and plenty spacious. I prefer the casitas, which are named after famous pirate captains, for their sense of privacy, although if you want more space and amenities, choose one of the second-floor villas. The villas all come with a fully equipped kitchenette. Comfortable lounge chairs and hammocks are spread along the beach and in shady spots on the grounds, and a host of aquatic and land-based activities and tours are offered.
