We saw beautiful rays and sharks around the reefs outside of pool villas. Overall the experience is very good. Just that I had a serious diarrhea after eating the seafood from fire door restaurant. The staff managed to get me some medicine.

Only a 20 minute boat ride from the airport, great service, the bungalows look old from the outside but are nicely and modernly decorated. There were no flaws in them. Just remember that everything costs extra (pay for night diving and the flashlight is extra). Overall we had a wonderful, fun stay, there were lots of options for food, there were three types of restaurants on the island. The staff were super friendly. Definitely an experience I will remember forever. Highly Recommended.
