Comments	This resort is one of the best resorts we have visited as far as efficiency goes. The rooms are very large and decorated with beautiful Indonesian furniture. The staff is very friendly and everyone knows your name after a few days. The Mnuw bar and restaurant is relaxed and an excellent place to end a day of great diving along with one of the fine beers brewed in location. The diving is awesome with lots of sharks, mantas but also smaller stuff including mandarin fish. Dives are usually shallow which means a longer dive time is possible and dive masters never rush you out of the water. Great for photographers! Yap is known for its mantas but it has so much more to offer: crocodile fish, pipefish, gobies, anemone fish, morays, marble and eagle rays, a great variety of tropicals.Divemasters are knowledgeable and helpful. The culture of the island is vibrant and villages have kept a lot of their traditions. Don't miss the cultural tour! Bill Acker, the owner is very present at the resort and will make sure that everyone has a pleasant experience.
