Comments	The Good: the beach was great, the resort grounds were kept beautifully, the monkeys did something to make us laugh every day, the food was decent but not inspired, the hotel and waitstaff were very accommodating and pleasant, the activitities desk had some great off-resort adventures, 2 PC’s were located in the lobby with free internet service, small fridge located in our room. The Bad: saggy mattresses, our room (located in Building 4) had the worst bathroom (the tub and toilet seat were painted with white paint, making them look dirty), if you want a remote control for your TV, you must leave a $20 deposit at the reception desk. Ditto for the beach towels. The Ugly: I was less than impressed with the dive operation. From the too long dive orientation on Monday morning, to the rush to wait in line with 100 other divers for weights, to there being too many divers for too few lockers, to the rusty ladders with rungs missing, it was a disappointment. I felt that our boat captain was annoyed with his job most of the time. The Diving: We dove Mary’s Place, a supposedly “must dive” site. It’s a swim through beginning at 90 feet and rising to 40?? feet. The appeal was lost on me since I was at the tail end of the group, with a lot of silt and sand stirred up by the time I entered. Also dove a wreck named Mr. Bud, look for the bicycle and radio on the deck. You can penetrate the wreck, it's pretty wide open. My favorite dive was 40 Feet Point because we saw some free swimming green morays at the anchor line. Someone had baited the anchor line with fish heads which attracted the morays plus a large grouper. It was my first time seeing free swimming morays, it was very cool. Seas varied considerably during the week, sometimes calm, sometimes very rough. All in all, it was a good (not excellent) trip. Some money needs to be spent on the dive boats and most of the dive staff need attitude adjustments.
