The price is around 50% more than the city rates, maybe because people have no other place to get the food in the area.

According to some divers who went there, “one must come and see for themselves a nature beneath the surface of the earth”. Divers will have a one of a kind diving sensation as they plunge into the depths of its crystal clear waters.
Like any other resorts around the island, Isla Reta Beach Resort takes pride with the natural corals that pops up anywhere beside its shores. Walking along the sea shore is quite a peaceful moment but I bet you’ll spoil your moment when you walk along their shores since sea urchins are just around the corner unnoticeably wailing theirs stings.
