Comments	As you've heard before, bring lots of bug spray. The owners of the resort are Americans and really great. The dive operation is a bit sluggish in service and enthusiasm; the dive staff did not help much with gear (in and out of the water), nor did they really search for or show us anything we couldn't have found ourselves. They do load the gear on to and off of the boat. The accommodations are fine; the water is safe as the resort has its own wells. However, several people became sick from perhaps the mayo (?). The menu becomes boring as the week progresses, with few different items added from day to day. They put on a nice pig roast with live music on Thursday evenings. It's cheap, quick & easy to get to either Coxen Hole or to the West End (unlike staying at Fantasy or CocoView). You can shore dive but it's a long haul out to Spooky Channel (a really beautiful dive site because of its formations). For advanced divers, you may find the diving is just average.
