  I do not believe that this is an animal sanctuary, rather than a tourist trap that would do more harm than good for the turtles. The many large turtles in there are in basic concrete tanks far far too small for them, with no distractions. I highly doubt they will be released as the lady said, as the bring money for the owners. I read that the turtle babies are caught from a nearby beach and, if released by hand into the sea, will lose their homing sense that would allow them to return to the beach. I am very disappointed to have funded a place like this and am yet again disappointed of the effect of tourism on animals. AVOID.
