Comments	This was our fourth visit so you know how we come down on the perennial service vs. cost issue. Everything about the resort - guest service, reef quality, dive guides, food, etc. - remains as the standard of excellence. See previous reviews for more details about what we saw and what you can anticipate seeing. This year we went in August, earlier than in previous visits. This had two consequences: 1) there were more families with children (European school holiday time) and 2) there was more wind out of the southeast. The first caused some folks issues as the kids played on the beach and were not silent. The second limited which dive sites we could go to, primarily excluding those east of the resort. which included some we really liked, OTOH there were always relatively calm accessible ones. An example of the level of service provided. A family moved into the villa next door and immediately squatted on the beach lounge/umbrella in front of ours and were somewhat boisterous. A casual mention to the staff (saying it wasn't a big issue) resulted in a temporary beach setup in front of their villa for them to use. No request on our part but someone took it on themselves to deal with it. Most dives had currents and we generally went with them and were picked up wherever we ended up.
