We absolutely loved our stay at El Ben. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly from start to finish, the cabanas were gorgeous, clean and super comfortable. It was very easy to arrange for transportation to and from the airport, as well as to and from the south side of the island across the split. We loved eating at Korner Stop right across from the entrance of El Ben — delicious food and sweet staff. HOWEVER... YOU MUST WEAR BUG SPRAY. The no-see-ums were relentless on the island. Wear super strong bug spray always, or douse yourself in baby oil.
