El Rio y Mar Resort Have you ever had a massage on a raft, 200m off shore, while gentle waves lapped and slapped against the bamboo? Let me say, it is blissful and well worth the effort of a dawn start, a plane, a minivan and a boat to El Rio Y Mar. The perfect place for a romantic getaway.... More
