"Increíble hotel en una isla de ensueño con una isla desierta en frente a 5 min en canoa. Arrecife a pie de playa donde con mis hijos pude ver tortugas,tiburones y morenas,a parte de miles de peces. La atención es maravillosa, nos gestionaron desde España vuelo en hidroavión,ya que solo es un servicio para resorts y ellos nos lo consiguieron. Nos dejaron a mis hijos y a mí una GoPro y cada día nos mandaban las fotos a los moviles. Nos hicieron sentirnos mejor que en casa. Ningún placer mayor que...
