Probably the best resort I’ve ever stayed at. From the service, location and property grounds you can’t find anything better, simply breathtaking! Don’t miss out, worth the money.

Tonsai Bay Resort
Things to watch for. Upon check in there’s a 5% charge on the bill for using a credit card. Unless you are a series rock climber there’s nothing much to do. The longboats try and rip you off. Take cash as I didn’t see any ATMS and a couple of times paying for food/dinner cash only. That said rooms ...
