Comments	Very enjoyable resort - great service (I was the only guest on two of the three days) - table was always waiting for me for all three meals (included in hotel). Very comfortable beach cottage, with great A/C! The hotel brings in divemasters for divers - private contractors I suppose - it's not really a dive operation, but there is a dive shack just steps away from the beach cottages. Was the only diver, so just dove with the divemaster for all three days. Have dove with big animals and tropicals, plenty of sharks and rays - this was my first muck/critter diving - lots of fun and cool animals, from pygmy seahorses to multiple colors of frogfish, to mantis shrimp, ribbon eels...could go on. I would go back and stay at the same resort.
