Perfect for you if
- You want more than one beach where you can wear a swimsuit
- You are travelling with children
- You want a choice of places to eat
- The colour of the water is the first thing you look at
- Snorkelling is the reason you are going
- You want to walk in from the beach and reach the reef straight away
- You want a chance to swim with whale sharks
- You want a sandbank without booking an excursion
It may not suit you if
- Your trip revolves around snorkelling
- You are after an island that is still off the tourist track
- You are looking for quiet and a slow pace
- Diving is the whole point of the trip
- You want bars, music and nights out
