Yep, I've been there. Food is great and very cheap. Go to the islands for some warm water snorkling and lazing around. The islands are part of TARP, the marine park.
If you like SCUBA, go on a dive. The water is warm, clear and is based on micro diving. Don't expect to see anything huge, but your guide will show you things which are easily missed.
Very easy dive.
Enjoy

I went there for my
I went there for my honeymoon in 2012. I looked at hiring a charter but it was too exxy. Over a grand for a two day trip for a charter. Apperently you have to travel very far to cach decent fish. Local and Phillipino fistherman have TNT'd all the coral.
Still a great place to holiday. Seafood is awesome at the night market. Also if your fit have a crack at the mountain - tough but worth it. If you have any questions feel free to PM me.

yup
fished there once back in early 2000s, not a fish for the day, mainly due to the trawlers. lots of pollution in the water, great islands though and did look like a spectacular diving location. well worth a visit.
