We visited Ulua on a windy Sunday afternoon and walked from the Marriott where we were staying. It was a bit crowded. The winds were stirring up a lot of sand so the water along the shore was sand-filled. Two from our group really enjoyed the underwater view by the rocks. I'm thinking our experience would have been very different... More

New hotel/condo complex construction can be noisy and dirty. Access by vehicle is sometimes blocked. On the other hand, the new parking area expanded the number of spaces available and the restroom and shower facilities are convenient.

We saw turtles, manta rays, eels, starfish, and even a devil scorpionfish! I was able to identify the latter because Amber, a Pacific... More

Good place for beginners to snorkel. Clean and not much current. A lot of fish around the rocks and so enjoyable to watch them!
