Comments	Hamanasi is not cheap but is well worth the price. The resort and the service were outstanding. In their 8 day/7 night package deal is a combination of 5 dives/inland adventures. The dives are to the local reef which is about an hour away. They are very nice. The inland adventures are also about an hour drive. If you want to do anything special it is extra - such as going to the Blue Hole (that was great!), going to the Turnafe Island reefs, to Glovers Reef, or to Gladden Spit to try to find the whale sharks (we didn't see any); these are all 2 1/2hr+ boat rides depending on conditions. There are also several inland adventures that are several hours away and are extra. I took the one over to Guatemala to see the Takal Mayan ruins. Incredible! Several fellow divers we met had stayed at other Belize resorts, such as in Ambergis Caye and Placentia. They thought that Hamanasi was better. Enjoy!
