The room fits 2 adults and 3 children and the beach around the island is amazing! You have alive reef behind the dive center so you dont need any boat to snorkling. We saw turtles, sharkes and so many fishes! The best is the staff that do the extra mile to make you feel welcome! From the buffet, June and the chef from Sri Lanka… Amazing cant ask more! My kids loved Huhthu who played with them everyday and entertained them (and my kids dont speak english, imagine they do) Its a perfect island for families Read less
