Thanks for a unforgettable stay at this Paradise, and to watch the turtle laying eggs in the sand and to see baby turtles being released into the sea. Thanks for an excellent service both at the restaurant and Dive Centre. We will recommend this place to everyone we know. And most important, thanks for letting me borrow your beach for me to propose my girl friend.
