pleasant stay with minor issues

turquoise waterlarge pooltidal reachcoral beach
i am grateful for the beautiful location. the white sand and turquoise water created a fine backdrop for our stay. the two large pools provided ample space to cool off and relax, we loved the facilities.
i found the beach had a significant tidal reach. it was coral filled. the usable time was limited to a couple of hours a day, when the tide was in.
