    Good location, snorkeling opportunities are great. Quiet island after daily tourists left. Morning snorkeling is great and almost a private island experience before ferries bring in day visitors.

    Seclusion after the day tourists left. The wildlife. The accommodation felt like a tree house. The proximity to the reef.
