The resort is the second decision. The first is the crossing, the reef, and how many other boats will share the lagoon.
A short speedboat from Velana. First nights that do not wait on a seaplane.
UNESCO water and a longer crossing. Manta season, fewer day boats.
Close to the airport. Easier arrivals, quieter islands than the map suggests.
Channels and house reefs. Days planned around the current.
Further north. More of the island to yourself, and a transfer you plan in daylight.
A working reef and space for a two-room stay. Still an island, not a circuit.
