Tawali is a fantastic resort for divers, snorkeling and travellers who just want to relax in a beautiful setting. The staff are amazing and the buffet style dinner experiences were 5 star: freshly caught seafood cooked to perfection. October, November, December is the best time for divers, but I recommend Tawali for a holiday any time. Will definitely come back.
Australia
