Before you book

What's the house reef and snorkelling like?

The brochure doesn't rate the reef directly, but several villa categories — including the Aqua Villas — sit overwater with direct access into the lagoon for swimming and snorkelling, and Aquaholics runs snorkelling outings with sea turtles as part of its watersports programme.
