I stayed at Jais Aben resort, a wonderful place by the sea complete with swaying coconut palms.  You could see the fruit bats at dusk, skipping from tree to tree.  The ants were large and pink.  On the coral reefs just off the beaches, there were christmas tree corals in multiple colours, and large bright blue starfish, and angel fish swarming all around - a facinating place for snorkelling.
