Comments Villa Aldora is a great, small place for small groups to have a wonderful vacation. Not in the middle of the "fast and furious" downtown area means peace and quiet. Dive operation as professional as ever with flexible destinations and amazing bottom times. Allows you to see some of the better/deeper parts of the reef and stay long enough to enjoy it. When you travel to dive, what you want is to be underwater. They also offer afternoon/evening dives as well as dives to the little visited North end. Highly recommend the entire operation.
