9.6/10 Exceptional! (211 reviews)
"Incredible local reef that you can swim to right off the island. Friendly staff, and decent food. Italian and Thai restaurants are great. Buffet is very good for dinner, but not too many options for breakfast or lunch. Would happily come back, especially for the immense sea life."
