Comments [None] Though I expected a nice vacation I was immediately pleasantly surprised by the sincere and friendly attention I received.

Krisna and Paul the owners were always available and have organized a smooth and well run operation with attention to detail and pleasing aesthetics; from the room decor, dining and communal areas, the beach side facilities, the yoga space, and the lovely pool area. They care about their staff, who are mostly from the local communities, and the environment that they all depend upon.

The boat was spacious, well run, and the dive masters all pleasant, very competent, and attentive. We dove with John who, like us prefers to move slowly and has a good eye for small critters. Anka and Gabby were also full of friendly smiles.

The topography of the dives were varied and interesting with walls ,sand channels, and ravines.

The food was gourmet quality. Lunches and dinners were often served in various outdoor locations.

Our room was nice in every detail.
