“Schöner Trip über die Insel. Als Tipp für diejenigen die mit den Schildkröten schwimmen gehen, nichts grünes anziehen da sie mit Löwenzahn (glaube ich, jedenfalls grün) gefüttert werden. Auf die Farbe fahren die voll ab und man könnte sonst an Stellen angeknabbert werden die man nicht möchte 🥴😂”

We were snorkeling for some starfish, a lot of yellow and red and some black. The Rock...well...food was great, nicely presented, staff excellent...but very small portions and overpriced. I would never go for a lunch again at The Rock.”
