Banana beach is a great place. great staff and food is wonderful. Go to the office and they will bring a golf cart over from across the street, for an hour or a day whatever. In my opinion you can't go wrong with BB.

What is wrong with the amenities at Mata Rocks? Yes, the pool is very small, but it is a perfectly lovely place, and any other "amenities" required are very close.
A fish and a bird can fall in love, but where will they build their nest?
