Relaxed place. Nice excursions
We did not dive but snorkelled twice and went on a turtle hatching trip which was amazing. All trips were well organized. The resort has a nice beach at high tide and a relaxed lounge and restaurant with good food.

Great resort with great Staff!
Me and my wife really enjoyed our four night stay in Big Blu resort. The staff was very friendly and welcoming and made sure that we were comfortable at all times. Our room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was plenty and great, not to mention their three course dinners. We highly recommend Big Blu resort (and diving centre)!

Paradise on earth
What an amazing place! I stayed at big blu for 8 nights and felt at home. Everybody is so friendly, I felt welcomed from the very beginning with the huge smile and positive energy of Simon! I stayed in a tent with a 10 dive package and it is such a great deal! There is a fan and they spray the tents every night to kill the bugs. The beds were really comfy (but the tent for 2 persons might be a bit tiny, staying alone was perfect) and they provide the towels. The breakfast is great (included in the price) and the dinner is a good deal for the price : 3 courses menu and really tasty! The staff always had a huge smile and I absolutely loved everyone there, I almost cried saying goodbye.
