Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The room was amazing and spacious. Cool place. I enjoyed snorkeling. Staff were very nice and attentive. The restaurant helped me manage my gluten-free needs. Monitor lizards! Dracos! Clown fish! Rays! <3
Negative: The trash in the sea. Most of the beach had a lot of trash, especially the private part of the beach. This is a real shame and a clear path to improve.
Summary: Great stay, great room, beautiful place.
