Il resort perfetto per chi vuole trascorrere una vacanza rilassante, lontano dal rumore e dalla folla. Questa piccola isola, ha una circonferenza di meno di 50 metri, è curata in ogni dettaglio, pulitissime le stanze così come gli ambienti comuni. Cibo curato, delizioso e sempre diverso, ogni sera c’era una cena a tema. Tutto il personale gentile e disponibile, con una menzione speciale per Maria, responsabile dell’accoglienza e tutte le ragazze della SPA. Potete avvistare oltre a tantissimi pesci, gli squali pinna nera e i nutrice, le murene e, con un po’ di fortuna , i delfini, senza nemmeno bisogno di immergersi. Da tornarci appena possibile.
