Reef most of the way around the island. Some spots the water was very calm and good for beginners. Other spots were a bit rougher. All locations had lots of fish with a large variety of species. Staff at the resort were fabulous. Babul and Ibrahim kept my villa in immaculate condition and constantly checked to see if there was anything I needed. Marx was a happy smiling server who always made a meal more pleasant Thank you to all of the staff for making this a memorable experience
