Comments	Because of Internet research, we had a very good idea of what the resort was like. This meant that we were expecting a friendly, basic, diver oriented experience, which is exactly what we got. The first lovely surprise was the Saturday afternoon dive on arriving: wasn't expecting that. The second lovely surprise was the open, honor system bar. As 50 something divers, we were always too tired to drink more than a few friendly beers with the other divers, but the relaxed environment made this a pleasent experience. Rooms were nice, but if you want five star, go somewhere else. Food was good and filling, but if you want gourmet, go somewhere else. If you want genuinly friendly, laid back, choose the Reef House. As to diving, its always relative. The advantage of the Bay Islands is that diving is close. It was boat diving, but trips were short. Our Caribbean point of reference is Belize. The reefs in Belize are in better shape as is the fish life. Having said that, all the dives were enjoyable, as was the diving company, and the dive master was superb. It seems that all of the divers were fairly experienced, and, everybody knew what they were getting themselves into regarding the basic but friendly resort. In summary: very friendly place to stay, comfortable rooms, comfortable food, good diving, at a very reasonable price. That said, Roatan more generally has a big issue with the health of its reef and the provision of basic infrastructure to its booming (Gringo based) development. We felt totally safe at the resort and felt totally safe walking around the small town where its located. This is not necessarily the case for the rest of Roatan: it has some troubles brewing.
