Comments [None]Resort was very nice and the dive operation was run very good also. The staff went out of their way to accommodate requests at the hotel and the dive operation. Beach area was nice with free horse rides, kayaks and paddle boards. Pool was about 7 feet deep but was part salt water, part fresh water. All fresh water would have been better. No see-ums did not bother me for the first 3 days, but ate up grandson and me after that. Can't say that deet stopped them at all times. Certainly a good place for beginners as grandson got in first full week of diving and saw plenty of stuff new to him. Not much new for those that have been to Roatan before. Corals seemed to be in good shape. Only saw three lion fish. Would recommend this place to anyone considering going here.
Warning: upon landing on saturdays, be aware that it took 2 hours to go thru immigration. Line was very long and slow with several planes landing at about the same time. That was the biggest headache of the trip.
