Wonderful experience seeing the turtles, hatchery and baby turtles being released. Pleasantly surprised about accommodation. Although basic very clean, air con and fan in room. Only small issue with room no hot water for shower, could hear the unhappiness of our very small neighbours getting into theirs! Good menu basic but plentiful. Unfortunately lots of plastic rubbish in sea although guests and lifeguards did their best to collect it’s a near impossible task to keep on top of.
