Comments	I was there 3/16-3/23 and the weather conditions were ideal. Complete sunshine w/temps in the low/mid 80's all week w/flat seas every day. The resort & whole island have a very laid back vibe. The cabins were new/nice w/short walk to the boats. The food was good....no complaints whatsoever about the resort. In fact, I really enjoyed everything about the resort & divemasters. The issue w/Utila is that they have a problem with overfishing. From the shore of the resort you can see a fishing village less than 2 miles away; consequently, the amount of larger marine life was limited. Even so, I thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Saw a half dozen eagle rays, several turtles & regrettably plenty of lionfish. I brought a spear along and shot ~30 over the course of the week. Hoped to see a whaleshark, but no luck (though others saw some a day before we arrived). Highlight was swimming/freediving w/a dozen dolphins for 20 minutes during a morning surface interval. If the resort owners can get some restrictions on fishing I believe marine life will rebound...I'm hoping for that!
