“Overall a brilliant day out, return transfer spoiled it and ended up nearly 3 times as long as the morning. Hosts were fun & energetic, boat was lovely. Snorkelling was great to see but a tad rushed and crowded with other boats. The Island itself was great. Opted to explore ourselves not with a golf buggy and had lunch on the beach. Beach club afterwards was absolutely stunning but cleanliness needs work. We didn’t eat the food because we had lunch on the island. There was no offer of snacks on the boat and we were all famished by that point. I would view their “lunch” more as your dinner…”
