re: Depalm Island
I have been a number of times. (all but 1 time was prior to the a ll inclusive deal)
The last time we went, it was all inclusive.
The food was lousy.
The alcoholic beverages were weak.
The snorkeling is less than mediocre as the reef is dead.
The large blue parrot fish are terrific.
The bang for the buck was not there. It was a waste of money and it is way way overpriced.
While we were there, the cruise line folks came on their "shore excursion" and their opinions were very different than ours. They thought it was just wonderful.
Different opinions make things interesting.

Since it with be my hubby's birthday while we are there , I booked the tranquilo snorkel tour for that day and they are going to have a small cake on board so I can suprise him! I also am going to go with the half day ABC jeep tour. Then for the our last night , we are going to go on the jolly pirates sunset cruise. Originally I was looking at going to depalm island one day and do the sea trek thing, but after reading reviews on tripadvisor, it sounds like the actual island is dirty and crowded and not really worth how expensive it is. any recent experiences or ideas on that?
