Island Adventure, A Romantic Getaway

My partner and I reveled in the tandem quad biking. It allowed us to explore the island together. Doc guided us on the Northern Safari Tour and his knowledge captivated us. The ocean view and poolside room was spacious, clean, and wonderfully comfortable. We slept well there.
Some aspects of the resort seemed a bit old.
