"Excellence service, great food, but alcohol drink seems to be diluted with water that comes with very low alcohol content. Great accessibility to sea with lots of sea life around, love this place overall."
"The bay was perfect for snorkeling. However, the room itself and the food were not that great. Overall, I could recommend it to ethusiastic snorkellers, but not to other relaxers."
