Comments	Don't bother bringing shoes unless you want to ride bikes. There are plenty of books to borrow. Very quiet, but a good place for non-divers looking to relax and enjoy the beauty. Concierge dive service in large part: they pick up your gear from your room, set it up, change over tanks, rinse your stuff every day. The only non-concierge piece was that they leave the final cleaning up to you. The room had a drying rack outdoors. Spacious accommodations Very accommodating and hard working divemasters Chef Anu checks in with you during nearly every meal to make sure you are happy. Nice selection of drinks at bar Patrick, one of the dinner servers, was particularly personable and pleasant. Charlie oversees the front of house and was also excellent. Beautiful sand. You get plenty of towels. Outdoor showers are fun - nice to look at the ocean while showering outdoors, but still have complete privacy. I came here because I had been to Little Cayman earlier in he year aboard the Caymans Aggressor, and I got to dive some excellent dive sites on Bloody Bay Wall. I was hoping to visit those sites again, but the weather didn't cooperate. We stuck to the south side. The diving was fine, but not spectacular. I personally enjoy being in the water no matter what--I always find something interesting to me. But I did greatly prefer the North side diving I'd experienced on The Aggressor. The staff was excellent, making for very enjoyable diving experiences and a very enjoyable stay at the resort. Jen also checked in with us daily to make sure we had everything we needed in the room. The food ranged from outstanding to very good. A few dinners were phenomenal--delicious red snapper, yummy lamb shank. The Thanksgiving dinner was so wonderful that it made me want to come back here every year and skip the muss and fuss of making the dinner myself. Pasta night was lots of fun--you choose your type of pasta, type of sauce, any protein, and they cook it up for you. You can eat outdoors, in a screened pavilion (no mosquitoes) or in an air conditioned room. I suspect that November may be a dicey period each year, so if you have your heart set on Bloody Bay, choose a different time of year. I would be happy to come back to this resort, and I would strongly recommend it to friends--even non divers. The beach has turtle grass, so I didn't see anyone going in the water for fun, but the resort will drive you any place you want to go on the island.

UW Photo Comments	Large cooler full of water accommodated the cameras on board easily enough. My ratings of UWP subject matter may be a result of the time of year. The fish population was more sparse than I've seen in the past.
