I will add that we had a lovely day at Yellow Beach. Very attentive service, comfy chairs, a yummy lunch and the water is absolutely gorgeous...warm, calm and shallow. At the moment, the better beach is Yellow as there is quite a bit of seaweed in front of Karibuni.
I was surprised at the number of reserved lounges; the entire first row was reserved. We were on the first boat and had to sit in the second row.
Of all the beaches we visited this trip, Pinel was the best.

We always call ahead to reserve ours for front row at Yellow Beach.
