Comments	[Resort is on a sandy beach with nice Cabanas. Restuarant is separate from Bar. It was too windy to almost do log books and ID and they restricted use of the enclosed restaurant . The restaurant management was very rigid. They did OK for vegetarians but would do little to modify interests of others (example they would only serve water at dinner). I thought fruit juice or ice tea would be nice.The food was OK but the fish choice was always Tilapia and was sometimes overcooked. The dive operation and guides were exceptional . The boat operator found good spots and picked everyone up even in very choppy windy conditions. Dive guides helped everybody even with a crowded boat (we were a large group of 18 and we wanted to be together). They both were good leaders underwater and located interesting critters(spotted toadfish, batfish, and neck clams, and red-tipped sea goddess nudibranch). We did the Blue Hole, not a big deal for me and a lot of the group, but the next two dives at Halfmoon Caye and Long Caye were great (one dive included 3 Blk tip sharks which swam about us for about 20 minutes)
