The dolphin tour was an amazing experience. The staff were very professional, and we were fortunate enough to observe dolphins up close.
The only drawbacks were that the big waves and strong currents affected the snorkeling experience. Also, the water pressure of the shower was low, and the hot and cold water was unstable.

Definitely one of my best trip. Avani+ Fares will remain my favourite place to return to. It has the whitest sand, clean and quite peaceful surrounding. The staff are friendly, ever helpful and attentive to all our needs.
