Does eating as you watch the sunset entice you? Marandi serves up International and Caribbean influenced foods right on the sand. It is an enjoyable experience for just the two of you or for the whole family.
4. Divi Divi tree
The plant life of the island is typically classified as desert with cacti and brush plants flourishing. The famous Divi Divi tree, acts as a natural compass, bending over in a southwesterly direction due to the trade winds that blow from the Northeast.

There are three tours you can choose from at Rancho Notorious. The first takes you through the countryside and to a lagoon inhabited by many creatures. The second is along the beach. A sand dune trail promises to show you a little bit of everything. Or choose the natural pool trail and take a dip at the end!
