Unbelievable trip planned by Thrillophilia for us, Seeing the dream place by our own eyes and experienced every major place was such a great feeling... The activities we had there was truly an amazing one like sightseeing, boating, beaches activities, scuba diving, clubbing in a luxury ocean boat, and a lot more... We even enjoyed alot in our personal itineraries like shopping, market, and food tours... The hotel was at a perfect location and so comfortable too.
