Our excursion was cancelled and we didn't find out until the last moment. In desperation we took up a local cab driver who offered to take us for a "time share" talk. Fortunately for us, they didn't anyone available to give us the time share speech, but they let us use the facility anyway for free! We had a wonderful time snorkling and enjoying free drinks! I will highly recommend El Cid resort for this reason alone!
