Just returned from Kapalai and it was an unforgettable experience! The crystal-clear water, vibrant marine life, and overwater chalets make it a true paradise. Perfect for snorkeling and relaxing in nature’s serenity. The staff were warm and helpful, and the food was fresh and satisfying. Sunrises and sunsets here are magical. A must-visit for anyone seeking a peaceful tropical getaway. I’m already dreaming of coming back. Highly recommend Kapalai for an escape that feels like heaven on earth!
The beauty is breathtaking, and the snorkeling is also good, but the kids refused to go into the sea and only knew to play with sand! ! You can see turtles in the water, and we also watched the release of small turtles, and watched turtles nesting at night! The house we stayed in was a combination of water and beach, lucky house number 4! ! You can see all the beautiful scenery on the island! ! Great! ! ! Highly recommended! ! !
