Comments Blackbird Resort has very comfortable cottages. The new ones have glass doors and updated bathrooms, but often fully booked. We stayed in one of the original cottages, but fine for what we needed. It has one bedroom, a spacious sitting room, and screened balcony where we spent most of the day when not diving. 3 dive boat are all comfortable, two with shade. DMs were excellent. Glad we stayed 2 weeks so we could dive around the Blue Hole, Lighthouse etc. twice (only one trip to Blue Hole a week). A very pleasant and easily arranged dive trip. Readily agree with all the positive reviews of Blackbird here and elsewhere. In case anyone is more familiar with a different dock near the Radisson Fort Hotel, the Blackbird Resort boat for transfer is docked in Old Town with a comfortable area for relaxing at a man-made beach.
