Comments	This was a group trip sponsored by our local dive shop who booked the trip through PADI. Everything was outstanding and the price incredibly low. The hotel is located within walking distance so a rental car was not needed. The all inclusive food was served buffet style and superb for all meals. The service was excellent. We told the front desk two items in the room required service and a security guard and repairman were in the room within an hour to make the repairs. I felt very safe in the hotel and surrounding area. The rental car company across the street from the hotel would not give a credit for our deposit when we returned the car. We called our credit company and they said the deposit was a temporary charge which did eventually go off our bill. I would recommend using another company to rent a vehicle. The dive shop equipment, boats and staff were all top-notch. The shore diving was a bit rough to enter due to rocks and surge, but accessible for beginners. I made one night boat and one night shore dive. Both were fantastic! I saw three octupi on the shore dive plus numerous other critters. We saw our first splendid toadfish on a day dive. A great week that we'd repeat and recommend.
