Not as good as expected
Very nice beach where we could see immediately the sea life near the beach. Turtles were a bit harder to find, but managed to see them. A somehow important thing to mention is that we had to pay extra 20€ per person for environmental taxes, but those were actually used to pay the entrance fees in the beach (entrance fees, which on the activity state that were included). Also, we had no guide at all (even if announced) for snorkling and we never met the organiser. Also, for refreshments we were only given a bottle of water each at the end and by the taxi driver… prices in the beach were somehow expensive too… the activity is quite nice, but organisation was quite bad because we could simply have paid the taxi and entry fees ourselves…
