Great Tour...Food, so so
I'm rating this very good because the snorkel tour was amazing, except the baby jellyfish, but it made for an interesting experience! The Staff had it dialed for check-in and everything else, they were amazing? The only thing that could be better was the food. It wasn't very good, the food was luke warm; lunch was especially disappointing. The food was cold, the chicken was chewy and not many people eat squid like Thai's do. Besides the food, everything else was amazing!
