Comments	We stayed at Lion's and the room was good. Full kitchen. Cleaned daily and nice balcony/view. Regency rooms are better than the Royal apts.The food for dinner in resort resturant was some of the best we had while on the island. Kirk does a great job and the place gets busy. We used the kitchen in the condo for b-fast and lunch. We opted for Buddy Dive due to the better looking boat with more shade.One of our party has a bad back and the crew went out of their way to help her in and out of the water. Pleasant group to dive with. Great night diving off of Buddy's dock. Did the town pier night dive as a private tour. You should do this dive with no more than 4 other people and it's worth the extra $. Coral and sponges recovering nicely after Lenny. Saw many Seahorses. The trip over all was great with no problem except for a jelly fish sting and a minor run in with some fire coral at Alice in Wonderland. Planning our return trip already.
