Turtle nesting season

While diving, snorkeling or simply sitting on the deck, the guests can frequently see Green and Hawksbill turtles on the reefs surrounding the resort. Between March and July, the female Green turtles return to the beaches they were born on to lay their eggs. Following an incubation time of 50 to 70 days, little hatchlings use a carbuncle (temporary egg tooth) to help break open the shell. After hatching, the young turtles may take three to seven days to dig their way to the surface. To witness this little life marvel is a magical experience and one we are exceptionally excited to share with our guests each year.
