This place is absolutely gorgeous. And while I’m not much of a scuba diver, just sitting at the rooftop bar with a drink in my hand, reading a book, and taking in the surroundings for eight days sounds like an ideal vacation to me! Not a stress in the world especially since your stay is all-inclusive.
