Comments Cobalt coast lived up to other reviews. Well run with excellent food. Would suggest getting the full meal plan. Rooms were clean and well kept up as was the entire resort. Owner and staff were extremely helpful. Swimming pool had the cleanest water that I have seen in a long time. Dive tech did a good job and their staff was helpful also. During our week, there ranged between 7-14 divers on the boat. Not crowded at all. The corals were very healthy from Northwest Point to North Wall. Certainly beats the west side overall. The shore diving at the resort had very healthy corals once you got to about 25 feet deep. Shore diving at Lighthouse Point was decent, but only so so corals on the first coral wall. Best dive was Eagle Ray Pass as we saw many eagle rays. Other dive site were good too. Only disappointment was not seeing the type of macro critters hoped for. Have no complaints. Would certainly go again especially when they offer their discount during hurricane season.
