This is the story of Nico, born at 6.15 pm on the beaches of Couples Resorts. Nico was the last of the turtles to come out of the nest. His goal was to reach the ocean fraught with perils, his path to freedom a long one.

Many of the guests at Couples Resorts were on hand to cheer for little Nico’s survival.
