Paradisiacal, extraordinary, unique, unbelievable. Nothing to compare with. Peaceful, calm. Joyce and everyone from the team were so welcoming, personally committed, loving and humorous. Delicious food. Utupoa would be my permanent home if that were possible for me. Joyce took us to the dolphins to swim with them.

nothing.
