Family hotels and homes in Tintipan Island

Amazing location in the Caribbean! We definitely recommend the chalet option, we loved the view on the mangroves from the bathroom, where you can admire the colourful crabs and we even spotted two raccoons passing by! They are currently expanding with 3 additional chalets. The water in front is a snorkeling paradise, with underwater plants, corals and loads of tropical fish in shallow water for as far as you can see. The water is calm and you can swim quite far out of the shore, just be sure to wear a floating jacket and buoy for safety. Also bring some protective shoes to protect yourselves and the corals, the water is quite shallow and corals are hiding inbetween the waterplants. We also did some tours with the hotel which are done with the hotel boat, our favourite is the reef snorkeling tour. It was the most beautiful snorkeling we ever done, and is only 1 km straight across the hotel on the edge of the archipelago. So magical we did this tour twice! The plankton tour is also recommended, but requires the moon to be down for more darkness, in our case at 4.00 a.m. Also amazing to see the stars at night! Lastly we did the islands tour, which brings you around the 3 main islands (Tintipan, Mucura and Islote) and a stop on each (we combined it with a reef snorkeling tour). We passed numerous hotels, but concluded El Embrujo was indeed the best choice. Seems the sea can be somewhat rougher on other sides of the islands, or less underwater life/deeper sea. The kiosk at their own pier is also the best place to watch the sunset every night, and during the day is a nice cool shadow oasis with some wind in (for me) too hot conditions on the shore. Due to the Caribbean weather probability of being more volatile, we booked extra nights to ensure we at least would have some good days. Prior to arrival the weather forecast showed rain and thunder everyday, so we were quite worried.

Beautiful and tranquil space that lets you fully disconnect from daily life. The host, Luz, is kind and thoughtful — a pleasure to be around. She makes you feel right at home the second you get off the boat and step onto the deck. My room was very cozy, comfortable and offering beautiful views of the sea just meters away. Delicious food and drinks are available so you can relax by the crystal-clear water.

I found the location and its surroundings spectacular The accommodation was spacious and very comfortable, including a lovely balcony with an amazing sea view. The food was delicious with a variety of local food available. Staff were welcoming and accommodating. I really enjoyed the beach area in front of the hotel and the water activities available. Gracias, Olga and company for looking after me! I hope to come back with my entire family soon!
