And the sea is amazing, not only because of the color but also the fishes in it. You can easily see many fishes, sea urchin, sea cucumber, sea turtle and even sharks! The food in the restaurant is amazing too with reasonable price. And really appreciate Mr.Ali service, he introduced the hotel detail for me and upgrade me to the 2-bedroom room which I can see the sunset and sunrise at the same time. I want to highlight him and hope next time we will see each other again! Read less
