Comments Drift diving on reefs. Only one dive on Palancar; some kind of ration system? One Nurse shark. Eagle ray. Lots of turtles and fish. Decent coral. Hotel needs upgrading and may be getting that with Wyndham. Coatimundi sometimes in hallway, which was interesting to see but you had to watch your step because they pooped. Food was cheap and included and "all you can eat" so mediocre. We generally ate dinners out.
