Comments	It's been a long time since we stayed at the Sand Dollar and dove Bari Reef (house reef for Sand Dollar). 1st the Sand Dollar has been around for a long time and shows its wear. However, the unit was clean and included air conditioning in both the living area and bedrooms as well as a complete kitchen. It had everything we needed. Since these are condos, if air in the living area is a must for you; be sure to check, not sure that is the case in all units. Bari Reef in my humble opinion is one of the best reefs on the island. We saw squid, tarpon, and an octopus right off the dock. Just can't beat it! One cautionary note, the steps from the water back onto the dock have a very high rise to them. If you're short, like my wife, they're very difficult to get up. They must have been laid out for Bigfoot! All in all, a great trip.
