The evidence
Representative quotes from 15 supporting reviewsThe snorkelling around the resort is like swimming in a Finding Nemo movie; turtles, small white and black tip sharks, a multitude of rays and other technicolour fish.
In fact you don't even have to get in the water, walking the boardwalks alone will give you plenty of sightings, so anyone a bit nervous of the water won't miss out.
