    Wow that's a big ray, very impressive .... was Catcha expensive with all the meals and drinks?

    My tab for the week was $1400. Over $1k of that was alcohol . Drinks are relatively pricey, but the good thing is Wise Choice groceries are nearly across the street and you can buy your beers there. The China man shop at the round about was cheaper, however once you factor in the cab ride it's roughly the same. The food prices are comparable to the US if you are American. My wife and I drank everyday all day, so we might not be a good comparison.

    nice report and pics, thank you for taking the time to share. This is the first trip report I have read on the new board, well done! That is nice you got to do both the AI experience and the cliffs--gives you a broader perspective of the place.

    all those massages--that is the way to go, talk about true relaxation. Was the masseuse through Catcha? I am looking into find someone that can give me a massage in my room on the beach when I go. I would rather budget for a massage or two than expensive meals.

    Thanks for posting the video of "Catcha", really enjoyed the beginning of the video out on the West End Road. Seeing Seastar Lane, Wise Choice and Leroy's brings back many many memories....

    Thanks,

    We did not think Catcha was out of line price wise at all. For comparable quality, Ivan's is way less expensive than restaurants in British Columbia. We averaged $130 day for food and quite a few drinks. For the price of drinks, I think the dirty bananas were around $7 and sour sop martinis were $8, there is a thread on old board with drink menu pictures. Below are Ivan's food menus...

    Yes, Oya is the masseuse recommended through Catcha and she is wonderful.

    We have to find this famous Vincent on our next reach! Any advice on where to find him? We've been hoping for a sea turtle sighting but haven't had one yet. Great underwater shot of the ray! Thank you so much for sharing
    Hope this helps
