We were greeted by a lovely lady who was very friendly, even gave us beach towels to use prior to check-in. We came to snorkel and were thrilled with the easy walk to horseshoe Bay... In full kit. We saw two types of rays and numerous fish and coral. Also snorkeled directly in front of property where we saw a turtle in the late afternoon. Excellent location, nice private rooms.
