Excellent stay.
Really nice resort style accomodation. The girl on the front desk was very friendly and informative. Food was quite nice, but nothing special. The lodges are lovely, but not the most comfortable place. Dive centre on site was a huge feature for us, high standards and great dives. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice and relaxing vacation
Nice place to stay with good facilities, though the beach is a bit far and it is expensive to pay the conservation fee for each visit.
