What the community said

Travelers also mention the Sultan hotel as an option with a decent house reef, though adults usually find sea access easier from the pier or pontoon; beach entry is said to be more comfortable mainly for small children and at high tide.

Equinox Hotel is a great pick for older travelers: excellent service, 5-star-level food, and a mature crowd. The beach has a sandy entry into the sea with corals nearby.
