Comments	[NoHave stayed and dove with the above mentioned on numerous times. We had a family suite which was great for the 3 of us. My buddies came from Fla and the other side of Pa. Arriving at the hotel we did our registration and the bell hop took us and our luggage to our room. We were in before the 3pm check in and were at the dive shop doing all the paper work. We met Baptiste the site mgr and explained how experienced we were and where we would like dive. He felt that there would be no problem accommodating us. The following morning we had breakfast and were at the shop by 8. My Fla buddy had gotten a sinus cold(flu like symptoms) and could not make the dive.As a matter of fact it got so bad that he went to see the medic at the hotel who called the hospital and had the doctor come to the hotel to check him out. The dr arrived in about 75 minutes and proceeded to examine him. He stated that he could not dive due to the severity of his cold. The dr also prescribed 3 scripts which were delivered from downtown. The total cost for the dr$65 and the scripts $24. Considering it cost $30 to go by cab to town this was quite a bargain. I can't say enough about the medic, dr, hotel and pharmacy. My buddy was not able to dive the 8 days we were there. When talking to Baptiste about missing the 12 dives he offered a voucher good for 5 years at any Dressel shop. My other buddy and myself were issued a voucher for missed dives due to the harbor master closing the port for 1 day. As far as the diving it was typical Cozumel some currents and lots of fish life but few lionfish. The coral was not as vibrant as previous years but still worth the trip. The wait staff were excellent as were housekeeping. They kept our room clean and supplied with water. My only complaint with the room was the control of the handle for the shower. The hot and cold were reversed and at times the temp of the water was inconsistent. There is no drawer space but there are shelves in the closet. The speciality restaurants (steak, Oriental were very good. The Oriental appetizers could have fed a family of 6 instead of the 3 of us. I would go back in a heartbeat.
