Overall Rating

Resort was comfortable but several of our group had problems with hot water
and a/c.  Food was OK but fairly expensive, we often chose to dine
elsewhere.  Downtown shopping was dutyfree and worth the trip.  Many locals
warned us, however, about the crime rate.  At night, it is not safe to walk
near open beach areas and many places in town.  Being the unwitting witness
to drug smuggling and/or arrival of illegal Columbians  is very dangerous.
We stuck with taxis and had no problems.  Diving was very similar to
Bonaire with rich shallow (25') plateaus dropping off to wall dives fairly
close to shore.  Viz was great and don't miss diving on the Superior
Producer.  We hit it on a low current day and you could see the entire
wreck 100 ft below from the surface, excellent.  The Dive Operation was
well run with tag lines, drop tanks, etc when the dive required it. 
Especially nice is that most dives were so close that your SIT was on land
at a nearby park, complete with refreshments.  Nitrox was available with 1
day notice.
