Then the Blu passport: it opens the ten restaurants and bars of the island’s two Radisson Blu hotels, with a free shuttle between them, as well as the sister hotel’s Aqualand, transfers not included. The nineteen private-pool villas have their outdoor shower, their view of the mangrove and butler service; the beachfront villa adds a garden.
