Comments Both staff and guests are very friendly. It's easy to meet others here and join them for meals. We had all meals at the resort. They tried (and succeeded) in accommodating dietary restrictions, such as vegetarian and gluten-free. The rooms were always cleaned during the morning dives. The dive operation is set up very well, stream-lined, like an assembly line. From the boat, you step directly off to rinse tanks and lockers and drying lines. Each boat has its own set of rinse tanks and lockers. The docks are at the same height as the boats, and the water where the docks are is very calm. Boat diving doesn't get any easier. There is also unlimited shore diving. The second morning and afternoon boat dives are drop-off dives, on the house reef. That can get a little repetitive. (I usually skipped the second afternoon dive.) No-see'ums are an issue. Keep yourself spritzed with bug spray. They particularly attack when you're rinsing your dive gear just off the boat. I highly recommend an outing to the "sloth sanctuary". It's very close to the resort, a short taxi ride away. You get close encounters with sloths, capuchin monkeys, and scarlet macaws.
