The beach bure was beautiful, very comfortable, with air-conditioning, and very nicely decorated. There are open-air windows covered in netting with wooden shutters that you can close at night. There's a nice in-room fridge with drinks and snacks (although highly expensive). Landscaping is gorgeous.

The dive/snorkeling instructor was very conscious of the coral and explained the dos and don'ts of swimming around them. This was definitely the best part of the trip, though a bit long, and I would have enjoyed more stops along the way.
