Private ecological reserve
Chumbe Island Coral Park is a beautiful private ecological reserve that also has a hotel with 7 palm-thatch bungalows. It's like being in a dream...you can lay out in a hammock and stare out at the beautiful turquoise water or enjoy a night sleeping under the brilliant stars. One of the most interesting things I saw were these giant crabs which came out at night and climbed the coconut trees in search of food. Really impressive.
