I had a fantastic time at this island, as we were able to take a bus quickly to one of the most popular beaches, and everything was so well organized. Once we got to the beach itself, they were lockers, toilets, showers that you could pay to use, and so many people selling different things. You could rent a banana boat, go diving, going to snorkeling tour, or just rent a parasol umbrella for the beach and chairs.
