They have a resident dugong, if you are lucky (I wasn’t, but elsewhere hit the jackpot). I did some diving there as well, very nice. I did not do any boat snorkel trips because the house reef was plenty satisfying. The staff is so hard-working and kind.

I then moved up to 3 Corners Fairouz – not a good experience. Their outer reef is nice, but the inner is dead, and when the wind comes up – often – there is no access to the outer reef. And weird stuff like their daily spewing of what looked like shaving cream for people to run through down on the beach. No wonder their inner reef is dead. I also vastly preferred the ambiance and quiet of Shams Alam.
