A seven-colour sea inside a UNESCO biosphere reserve, resorts of 130 to 250 rooms that can be taken whole, and Providencia for the group of twelve that wants the island to itself.
The island convention centre seats 1,200 and 2,500 affiliated rooms sit within fifteen minutes of the airport: a national sales meeting fits on one island.
