Comments	Truly a great Resort. The accommodations were great, diving was great and food was great. Strong emphasis on safety and great dive staff to point out the critters and take care of gear and us. The cottages were over the water, spacious, and a joy to return to after diving. In February/March with the fans going we never needed AC (which was not available). It even got chilly in our rooms with the fans goin. Nets around the beds provided security from mosquitos but they were not abundant anyway. Diving was terrific. We were there during full moon and experienced some currents but when we dived the famous "Passage" which is known for currents, the 20 minute "ripping current" wasn't and we had a wonderful 60 minute plus dive viewing all the life along the way. Had excellent camera room and good Wi-Fi (but don't expect mainland speeds). I would go back in a heartbeat.
