Simply wonderful. From the time you arrived into the resort's care - you
were treated like royalty.  They try to take care of every need and want -
all you have to do is ask. There is cell service there if you can handle
the roaming charges. The food served buffet style is excellent (meals are
included - drinks are not). If you plan to drink alcohol, they have an
honor bar with reasonable prices but alittle limited.  If you want
something particular, get it at the duty free shop before you get there.
The rooms are roomy for two, clean and simple with lots of hot water.  One
word of advise.. remember sun screen and Bugspray with DEET as the no
see-ums are terrible but preventable...  

It is definitely worth the pains of the travel to get there. The flight
from Roatan is a small charter flight and people go first, luggage is
sometimes left behind.  And it is not a daily flight.  My dive gear bag
(along with others)did not arrive when I did. I was told it would not be
sent for two days.  Luckily for me - it had arrived, just picked up by
another hotel and was found later that evening. 

Diving - the coral looks healthy and varied, lots of small fish which is
what I enjoy to photograph and green morays everywhere just wanting their
picture taken.  Definitely worth the trip....
