Comments	Little no-seeum bugs were horrendous. Our entire group was bitten up all over. Rooms do have small bug repellent devices, which worked so-so. Food served buffet style, not much variety. Some of our group had some special needs, and the kitchen staff accommodated them very well. Pack lightly, there is no need for a lot of clothes. The small planes used to get to the island are not set up to take large groups and all their bags in one trip. Our group of 19 was split into two planes with some bags coming on each flight over. The return trip home was a different story, however, as four of our bags did not get on the plane. The owner of the resort paid to have our bags shipped via UPS when he came to the US the following week. Great service! The cabins are nice and clean, not much to brag about. Small decks overlooking lagoon, but couldn't sit outside due to the bugs. Housekeepers folded towels into animal shapes every day. Not much water pressure in showers, but was not a big issue. Drinking water is supplied in large coolers in each room, refilled at the bar. Tap water not safe to drink. Overall a comfortable resort, with great dive staff, OK food...the diving is what makes this trip one we will probably do again.

UW Photo Comments	Crew had to bring larger rinse buckets on board boats as we had many housed SLR shooters on this trip....no problem. Crews were very careful with our cameras and took care to place them in rinse buckets gently.
