Comments We stayed in the new building for 2 weeks and enjoyed the patio, screen door, TV, Refrigerator, Wi-Fi and A/C. The rooms were cleaned daily. The swimming pool and patio is clean and quite nice. The downside is the rooms are close to the neighbors and you can hear the dogs barking all night long and roosters in the early morning hours that are close by.

The diving and dive guides were very good, the dive boats are poorly laid out and often very crowded with 16+ divers. Twice in a week the large dive boat broke down and plans changed. They offer a whale shark trip multiple times a week during the season.

The biggest disappointment was the food from the restaurant often serving packaged or frozen foods and a few items on the menu not available for several days. No desserts and no daily or weekly meal specials. Many room choices to choose from. With a little work this could be a 5 star resort.
