We had the same problem with not being able to find anywhere to get breakfast. We went to one place that was packed and decided to keep looking. Then we found another place but they’d stopped serving breakfast at 10:30 am, it was 10:34!!!! I couldn’t believe that.

There are plenty of places to stay there. You don’t see much evidence of Wilma there and all the hotels seem to be open.

As for Whale Sharks I think the key is to go in August, which I never manage to do.

When I was there last time I found great fish right on the beach at a little lean-to shack in front of Casa Sandra. But this time I didn’t eat there since my kid is a vegetarian.

We were in Holbox in September and got to snorkel with the Whale Sharks. I highly recommend it, it was awesome. Unfortunately, we only saw one whale shark, so we’re planning to go back this summer when there are more. It’s a wonderful place.

We also couldn’t find any good fish- apparently they’re known for their bad fish- not sure if that’s a Gulf Coast thing or what.

How were the restaurants there this time? Last time I was there (before the Wilma damage) it was hard to find a place for breakfast. Either they opened at lunch time or not at all. Have the beachfront hotels been restored? I am hesitant to visit for fear of not finding lodging. Otherwise I would go in a heartbeat. It is a great place to detoxify from the hectic life of this island across your bay! LOL!
