"Had an amazing time on our Honeymoon here! The resort is beautiful and very well maintained. Snorkeling from our resort was also great — plenty to see without having to venture too far. Food was great everyday — the high tea everyday deserves a special mention. We also had a treatment at the spa, which was simply extraordinary, and I would highly recommend. Scuba at the Dive Shop is a must do IMO — I did a couple dives with Mansi, our instructor, which were breathtaking. Mansi is very patient...
