If you want an easy place for kids to walk into the water and snorkel with fish, this is pretty good. However, there is very little coral. The food is ordinary and expensive, but you can find a lounge under a tree and drink $6 beers and life is not too bad... P.s. I think the 5-star ratings are paid... More 

High prices for everything, staff weren't the most friendly of people and the underwater mailbox and reef were really the biggest upside to the whole trip.
