I have stayed at Hidden Paradise and did not like it because it was not on the beach. I could not rest til i was closer to the water, left 3 days before i was suppose to. have spent months at beach club and yes there is river water some days, usually in the afternoon and clears after a day. on those days you either go down further or go to canoe, not enough of an issue to keep me away from the water. travellers sounds like a 1 stop deal for you. will you have a kitchen? because HP's kitchen consists of a 2 burner, and a small fridge with no ice.
