In search of free water, we next headed to Bahia Careys, sight of an Club Med that is no longer in use. They are maintaining the grounds for future opportunities, but the buildings look a little rough when you look with the binoculars.
We had heard there was free water, potable, right out of the faucet. Since we do not have modern luxuries such as a water maker, we had to check it out. Bahia Careyes has three small bays. We were anchored in the Club Med bay, the water was in the French Restaurant/condo/panga bay (those were open). The other bay has a hotel that might be open, but it isn't somewhere you can anchor.
The anchorage was fairly rough, with a nice washing machine effect as the swell bounced around the rocks surrounding us. It was also very small, but we did stay the night.
And yes, the water was free, and we haven't gotten sick drinking it, so potable. Kevin took two trips to haul 44 gallons!
