Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

ive been to Bonaire and many reefs,, by far this island is the Best in the world for snorkeling, Hoping that the Chinese and Americans don't find it as other things, it will be destroyed. this is not a place for children under 21 as they will ruin the reef system

This is on the Tour C option, and it was excellent snorkeling. The reef is only 4 to 6 feet below, and you can go out to a wall where sometimes you can see turtles (though we did not see any).

That's an amazing place to visit and snorkelling between starfish. But I've seen too many impolite people touching them just for the stupid picture...please don't do it, respect for nature...it definitely worth a visit

This was our lunch stop of tour C. The reef off to the left of the beach had the best snorkeling we did in El Nido. The coral is really colorful, water is clear and the reef has a sudden drop really deep. Saw some star fish, a puffer fish and a bunch of other colorful fish I can't name. Only problem was that I got stung by some poisonous plankton here. It really hurt for about 15 minutes then the pain faded. I suggest wearing long sleeves while snorkeling here.

It is really a best snorkelling place in El Nido, there is plenty of colourful fish, urchins and blue starfish.

I had wanted to visit this beach but a guide on one of my boat tours advised me that it is now privately owned. No visitors allowed.

The rock formations, white sand, coral reefs. deep blue water , vegetation and natural layout of this place is unique. It has a surreal feel about it like being inside a Dali painting . The rocky cliffs are foreboding and at the same time beautiful in their ruggedness. Truly magical place for a stopover on your private island hopping tour. (too crowded on a standard tour) Go early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid crowds and to catch the best natural light which transforms the feel of the place.
