Amazing family wee stay, 2 days in paradise!
This island is amazing!! Wildlife galore! We came for the sealife sharks, turtles and fish etc and it didnt dissapoint! Birds are everywhere... if you like birds this island is good for bird lovers! The ferry over - booking went smoothly. Parked car in carpark opposite paid for but secured. Was choppy crossing but staff were helpful and always checkjng the kids were ok and not feeljng sick etc. Room- we went with 2 bedroom beach room. It was great view onto beach, spacious. Basic room with all what you needed. Room had a celing fan not aircon so was hot but its a 3 star property. Staffing- staff all over island we felt were friendly and helpful. Always happy to hear we having good time. Big shout out to 2 guys the man siging in bar was ace and deserves a mention. Also our turtle tour at night was brilliant. Tour guide was great loves his job! Wildlife - wow we seen so much. Just standing in paddling water and see sharks. Meals - we were quite happy wjth the food overall. Breakfast was a good selection, plenty to pick from. Lunch could have done with smaller lunch snack type food menu. Diners- both nights we had rhe butter chicken as was so good!! We found it ok priced too. Few reviews werent happg wjth the cost of buffets... i think they changed it now and its a menu instead buffets. Nice pool area. Free boardgames and pool etc in the bar. Defo recommend this place and hope to be back again!!
