Brilliant trip, the team were excellent in keeping us safe and informed. Beach was stunning, however be prepared fir a walk on a poor road, once there soft sand and clear water. Highly recommended thanks guys. M Jackson (Scotland) saw a 1 star review which I assume was sour grapes from a sour faced tourist that was late and was politely told so
