Hope this wi...Hi Sbhishek sorry for the late reply. Hope this will answer to your queries:<br /><br />1. No dress code. Wear whatever you want.<br /><br />2. Since there is no close market or restaurant for lunch/dinner, I would suggest you can buy some food from the local market when you go for a tour. That will help you save some extra bucks. The a la carte can be tried, I guess if you like pizza or something, that will be cheaper.<br /><br />3. Glass bottom boat, paddle boat. Both are complementary activities provided by the resort. Book well in advance!<br /><br />4. Nothing much!! When they will take you to the tours, you will go to some market.....try to buy something there if you like it.<br /><br /><br />Good luck!!khushihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10249866716277428519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2881120603721262780.post-62056576213892030622013-03-27T09:17:38.460+05:302013-03-27T09:17:38.460+05:30Hi Khushi,

In the deal we have got from our trip organiser, they say water sports are complimentary. So does that mean we do not have to pay a single pie to do all the water sports they have listed or is there any extra cahrges we need to be paying?
