Catcha

Xtabi will be happy to let you use their pool and snorkel off their cliff side if you have lunch or just hang around and by a few drinks. They will also keep your valuables behind the bar. Great spot to snorkel.

Catcha doesn’t allow non guests onto the property until 5pm, and then only for dinner and drinks. I suggest having a sunset dinner there! Their pool is very small anyway. The pool at Ricks can be crowded and rowdy. I’d follow Irine’s suggestion and hit Xtabi. Great vibe, very laid back, great staff, and they have cliffs to jump from at non-neck breaking heights. They also have a small cave that’s cool to check out.

i agree with irine and johnnyc!

just make a plan to have lunch there or order some drinks and leave a nice tip.

the bar staff and servers are very nice, plus i think the policy is not to browbeat non-guests into running up a tab. i know some people just stop by xtabi and use it as a place for chilling and swimming without even buying one drink (which i think is not cool), but i've never heard of anyone being asked to leave.

Absolutely, I would be very upset if I was staying at a resort and non-guests just showed up to hang at the pool. Definitely not cool.

although the non-paying non-guests can be a bit overbearing, i mainly find it annoying for the staff. it sucks to see a "crowd" hanging out, knowing the folks who work there aren't going to see any money out of it.


like this chick, who (at 12:35 and 14:50) specifically is like, "oops, i hung out at xtabi and didn't even buy a drink there. gotta stay on my budget!!!"
