Spent hours sitting on hard deck. On the way back we decided we would sit inside to be comfortable but there were children sat there even though we booked adult only. On the plus side the staff were very friendly and constantly asking if you want drinks. Edwardo was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was not the experience we were hoping for lack of seating our backs were hurting very uncomfortable even if they supplied…”

The two swimming stops were a good duration, and the lagoon is a pleasure to swim in! Sitting at the front of the boat at sunset, and having the cold fruit platter and beers were definitely a highlight. Definitely recommend experiencing the lagoon this way. Muchas gracias!”

“The boating, snorkel, and island experience was good. The boat crew was amazing and friendly. But my largest complain is for the “SAT company”. Their communication and shuttle team is horrible. The pick up time initially gave a large window of 7am-9am. I spent a week messaging them every day asking for the time with no respond. In the middle of the night before, they decided to message me that pick up time is 9:05am with such a little notice. For the shuttle back, they were initially 30 minutes late. After the driver arrived, he had us sit in the shuttle for another 30 mins. We kept telling him that…”
