We had a meal at the beach bar run by the dwarves. The food was excellent and the service was extremely attentive. The beach itself is fantastic, with crystal clear water and an abundance of fish. The beach bar, situated right on the sand, is also top-notch, providing exceptional service and being well-equipped.
