    The reef surrounding the island is simply amazing, particularly the exit next to the water villas (nr. 4) and the ones facing north-west (nr. 5 & 6). Just snorkeling we had the chance to see an incredible variety of fishes and corals, we also swam...

    absolutely everything - the site is breathtaking, lodges are lovely (we had 2 superior villas #97-98, this side of the island is ideal as the reef drop-off is only 20m from the beach and it’s like swiming in a tropical aquarium), buffet food is...
