“The location stands out, especially its proximity to the manta ray feeding grounds; the villas are well-appointed for comfort and designed to be elegant. For active guests, an extensive array of water sports goes beyond the usual offerings, plus there is vibrant coral reef easily accessible. It's a place to keep in mind for those priorities.”
