Why guests love itWe booked Safari Island for a week with no set plan beyond diving and the pool, and the pace suited us well: breakfast on the terrace, a couple of hours on the house reef, then the outdoor pool before lunch. Our teenager did three dives with the resort's dive centre and spent the rest of the week asking to go back out, while we were happy with a slower rhythm of short snorkels and long afternoons on the beachfront.
