You are transported there on a huge catamaran that goes about 32 knots (36 mph) to the island. It takes about two hours. However, then you have to include customs and getting shuttles to the hotel in a tram and what you end up with is a trip that starts at about 7 am at the port authority and ends at 10 pm with only about 5 and a half of those hours spent enjoying the island. Don’t get me wrong, the hotel had great food and a pool bar and there was the best beach I have ever seen there, but if I was to do it again, I would spend the night and really get to explore the island at my own pace. It was a memory making trip and I recommend you go! Just stay a while and enjoy.
