The short story is they’re just fraternal twins with an extra twist.

Most are apartment type setups, with a small kitchen, etc. Some are much newer and fancier than Cholson's. There were, back then, at least a couple of small restaurants where you could eat out. But very small, with a limited menu. Callaloo is kind of a big deal there.

There are some reefs that you can get to without a boat, just fins and snorkel. The jungle around is mostly second growth, but it's close enough to Venezuela that there is a remarkable variety of bird life. Also some interesting native orchid species, if you're interested in that stuff and there in the flowering season. There are plentiful places to explore...or at least there were 30 years ago when last I visited.

A boat is better, for reef diving. There are plenty of people making a living there taking out tourists for reef exploring. The best zone (most light) is pretty much the top 30 feet anyway, and you can reach most of that without scuba gear, once you get good at equalizing your ear pressures.

I don't have much experience with resorts, but we wandered into a place in the Dominican Republic when we were just looking for rooms. The clientele was 100% Italian and beautiful, but they let us stay at a great price. The food was very simple, but very good. Lots of grilled vegetables and local fish.

We were with LSS's mother who was an Episcopalian nun at the time and stationed at a mission nearby. We almost talked her into walking down the tops-optional beach in her habit the last day we were there.

It's far enough away from the town that it's private, to some extent, but within an leisurely walk of all the stuff the town provides in terms of support services. It's set up as separate cottages, and the location is right off the beach. I remember it as a nice vacation.
