Absolute paradise and snorkelling was amazing. I would highly recommend, we went on a Saturday which is apparently much quieter (tours from cruise ships other days) the water was crystal clear and beautiful. It was the highlight of our holiday.

We recently stayed at the Hodges Bay resort. Prickly Pear Island is right off the resort beach. Terrence picked us up right on our beach around 11am and it was a quick boat ride over! The island is absolutely beautiful. The clearest water we saw all trip and awesome snorkeling for all ages (my 5 year old loved it). We saw fish that were really interactive, found hermit crabs and watched the birds come in and out of the island. The water stays wonderfully shallow (at least while we were there) a far way out. It was great to hang around and talk to new friends and for the kids to play without worry. The drinks are plentiful! They're generous with the pour. Lunch was great. We were very realistic with our expectations and were pleasantly surprised. There was a lobster salad, potato salad, green salad, grilled chicken, rice and beans, grilled fish and a pork dish. It was served buffet style and enjoyed by all. This is an exceptional experience and a wonderful way to spend the day. It's also the BEST value on the island!…
