There are hundreds of lounge chairs, quite a few blue canvas shells, for those who do not want to sit in the sun, hammocks in the shade trees and a few shops at the main entrance to the island.
HAL has a permanent BBQ station where they serve ribs, chicken, hamburgers, baked beans, salads, fruit and cookies/squares. Lots to eat. This costs absolutely nothing. There are a couple of bars and of course you have to pay for your drinks.Also the waiters walk up and down the beach selling beer & soda, or as we Canadians call it POP.
There is a charge for water sports - parasailing, kayaking, banana boat riding, floating mats, snorkelling, and fishing excursions, although you can snorkel on your own at the beach but it's not very good. Can't think of other things they charge for but they are listed on HAL's web site.
We only go to the island to spend the day at the beach sunning and swimming. It's PARADISE! Would love to stay there for a week.
Oh, forgot with HAL's Signature of Excellence program coming soon, they say they are going to have horseback riding on the beach- don't know how they are going to do this with all the people milling around - we'll see if it every happens. Other improvements and activities are coming soon also. Of course, there will be a charge for this.
