My stay at Fatboys Resort was a good escape, with beautiful surroundings and friendly staff. The bungalow was comfortable and well-equipped, although I found the food to be average overall. The snorkeling was truly fantastic, especially with the vibrant coral and marine life just off the jetty. an experience I won't forget.

I enjoyed my spacious overwater bungalow, which was traditionally decorated and provided everything I needed. The water access from my room was a fantastic feature, allowing me to snorkel right underneath! However, it was a bit of a trek from the main building, which was something to consider.
