Comments	Nice hotel, very clean and very friendly staff and dive staff. Our gear was rinsed after each day of diving and tanks were set up for us to do our Nitrox check. Food was served in the floating restaurant. Lots of choices. We experienced a tropical storm while we were there and the floor of our room on the second floor was flooded from blowing rain. The staff stayed up all night mopping up the lobby and rooms affected. Meals were served in the conference room while the access to the floating boat restaurant was unavailable. We did not dive for two days because of the storm. Gave us time to tour the island. Power was out for two days on the island, but the hotel had the generator going so we were fine.
