Green Island is a wonderful place to stay. During the day it is quite busy with daytrippers but in the morning, later afternoon and evening it is really special. It's very small and easy to get around. All the staff are wonderful, professional and...

Good location, snorkeling opportunities are great. Quiet island after daily tourists left. Morning snorkeling is great and almost a private island experience before ferries bring in day visitors.

The location is amazing. The beach, the reef and the forest canopy was fabulous. Super chill vibe.

1 minute to the beach, 1 minute to the rainforest. I thought 2 nights might be too much, but not enough!
