How does it compare with a sandbank day trip?
A day trip is a shared excursion with a picnic; a dinner is private and priced for two. See sandbank picnic and snorkel day trip.
What does it do to a budget?
At ₹97 to the dollar, US$475 is about ₹46,075, roughly a night at a mid-range resort. It fits a luxury plan comfortably and a ₹2 lakh plan only if you drop a night. See luxury budget.
When should I book it?
At booking, or by message before arrival, and say your date. Weather can move a sandbank dinner, so ask about the backup.
Is it vegetarian-friendly?
Ask when booking; resorts can usually adapt a set menu.
