Practical

Coordinate is approximate: OpenStreetMap node for Villas Marina Paraíso (21.24308, -86.73956), nudged slightly toward the docks. PredictWind lists 42 wet slips and 22 hotel rooms, less than a mile from downtown. Cruising World describes the anchorage off Marina Paraíso as sheltered from all but north with good holding, and notes a local agent working from the marina. Barlito's restaurant at the marina was a cruiser breakfast favorite (2016). Aqua Adventures runs its dive center from here (Wikivoyage). Noonsite's business listing gives VHF 16 and 13, monitored 24 hours. A 2013 cruiser blog reports a check-in service where officials come to the boat, a pool, and a bar-restaurant with live music beside the docks. Rates and depth not published - verify locally.
