Hands down the most beautiful islands I have ever visited. We went during peak season first week of January is it was totally awesome. The cliffs all around and the crystal clear water is totally paradise. The water around is excecllent for snorkelling or scuba diving and right next to Maya Bay (ie where “The Beach” was filmed. The island itself is meant for those who just want to lay back and sip on some drinks, and there is only one spot to do any shopping or clubbing. But man is this place sweet!
