I had an amazing time here, but there were some disappointing aspects. I was prepared for the commercialization- the unprescedented amount of diamond shops and the upscale homes. The thing I wasn’t prepared for was the level of destruction of the natural beauty of the island. The reefs are dead or dying, the coral barely existent and the fish more sparse than expected. It is, nonetheless, a beautiful island and a great place to go if you don’t want to leave the comforts of home, but still want a stunning place to visit.
