We absolutely loved our stay at El Ben. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly from start to finish, the cabanas were gorgeous, clean and super comfortable. It was very easy to arrange for transportation to and from the airport, as well as to and from the south side of the island across the split. We loved eating at Korner Stop right across from the entrance of El Ben — delicious food and sweet staff. HOWEVER... YOU MUST WEAR BUG SPRAY. The no-see-ums were relentless on the island. Wear super strong bug spray always, or douse yourself in baby oil.

Very nice rooms, very clean and comfortable, great water pressure. Grounds were clean and well kept though after heavy rain some of the paths were flooded (what do you expect being at literal sea-level). Staff was superb and helped me both with a booking issue (resolved wonderfully) and any questions I had about town and other bookings. It is on the north island making getting to town a bit harder but their boat and the ferry are pretty convenient but you do have to plan extra time for them. Great overall
