Comments	Anse Chastanet is a great resort. The rooms are spacious and the service is first-rate, probably the best of any resort we have been to around the world. There is no A/C, but there are fans and cooling is adequate. Mosquito netting over the bed is provided, and we had no trouble, even though it was fairly warm during the week. The views from the hillside rooms are spectacular. There are 305 steps from the beach up to rooms numbered 7, which have the best views. The Jade Mountain section is even higher, but tend to be a little pricey. However, there are beachside rooms which require no climbing. There is regular shuttle service for those who can't do steps. Diving is limited to scheduled boat and shore dive- no unaccompanied diving! A lot of beginners here on honeymoon, but the divemasters let us stay down as long as we got back on the boat with 500 psi. Snorkeling is great, and we saw nearly as much life as on the dives. The dive operation was also first class, although we did handle all of our own gear on and off the boats (shore boarding). The boats are great for diving- good exit and entry. Lots of excursions available thru the resort, and they provide free kayak, sunfish, catamarans and sailboards. Food was tasty and varied- we never ate the same entree twice during the week. The week is not inexpensive compared to many Caribbean islands, but we enjoyed every aspect of the trip. A direct flight from Atlanta made it very easy to get to compared to many places. More banded coral shrimp, arrow crabs, eels and small critters than we have seen most anywhere, but not a lot of big fish, sharks or rays. Several people took a whale trip and saw several pods of pilot whales.
