Wow! I cannot speak highly enough about this place. The reservoir is absolutely massive, offering a few fantastic deep areas perfect for diving. The sandy beach is blessed with abundant sunshine throughout the day (so I highly suggest bringing a beach umbrella). Without a doubt, I will be returning to this place in the near future.
