What reviewers say

Reviewers praise the crew, snorkeling and small groups, though the sandbar's focus on drinks does not suit everyone.

Praised

  • Friendly, attentive crews who help children and beginner snorkelers
  • Small groups that feel personal and leave space to relax on board
  • Guided snorkeling with plenty of fish and help spotting marine life
  • Fresh guacamole, chips and fruit, with regularly offered drinks
  • Slides, diving platforms and paddleboards are popular with families

Complaints

  • Some enjoy the music, while others find it too loud on board or at the sandbar
  • Some enjoy the sandbar drinks stop, while others find it dull or too focused on alcohol
