delicious food friendly staff extra charge cheap version

I found the food to be very rich and delicious (especially the fresh fish!). the five staff members of the bar served us very well. Nazeer, damith, chandna, jesica and saddam prepared different cocktails for me every day.

I was a bit disappointed that you get charged for nearly everything, even with the all inclusive package. even a bottle of coke was not included. They offer a cheaper version from their dispenser instead.
