Dinner at Only Blu restaurant tonight was amazing! The staff went out of their way to accommodate dietary requirements and would also point out when sharks or unusual fish were swimming by! Food was delicious too- I particularly loved the Gulab Jambu cheesecake! Special thanks to Emily, Mery Luz & Shrijana for really looking after us!
