Comments Back to CoCoView again; the rooms are basic, but comfortable; A/C working. Plenty of good food; breakfast to order and buffets for lunch/dinner. The maid service was terrific. The dive masters/boat captains were very professional, knew their sites well and kept the divers safe while enjoying the dives. Dive briefings were very informative. Had trouble with one of the boats, but made changes and got the dives in. Got consistent tank fills. The shore diving is easy with the Prince Albert and Newman/CoCoView walls an easy swim out. Photo center and dive shop operations well run/stocked. Was easy to check in/check out; they arrange to have return boarding passes ready for you. If you want to take outside tours, etc, that can be easily arranged. Liz, the mgr, is constantly finding ways to improve the resort; her staff works very hard to take care of things and make your stay enjoyable. Will definitely be back
