Comments	We always enjoy trying new places, but the diving here was really disappointing. Maybe it's because we spent 3 months last year in the South Pacific, but still... Most coral looked healthy enough, but there were enough scattered areas that were bare which detracted from the overall. In my opinion, the variety and number of butterflyfish gives me an idea of the health/diversity of the reef. Here, we'd only see scattered pairs of Foureyes, and were thrilled to find a pair of Banded Butterflyfish on our last day. That's sad. Also, angelfish were in short supply - only 2 queens and 2 Greys all week. We were also excited to find 1 or 2 arrow crabs and a pair of Pederson cleaning shrimp. Interestingly, Garden eels were abundant in any sand flat we came across. This is very easy diving and good for beginners, with great water clarity and no current. Just not much diversity. Bohio Dive Resort is a nice place to stay, and location right on a beautiful white sand beach with gorgeous calm swimming right out front is so relaxing. However, "island time" service at the restaurant really retracted. Some days or meals the wait wasn't too long, but the majority of meals were more than 30 minutes from ordering to receiving the food, even if we were the only ones waiting. I understand relaxing and slowing down on vacation, but that's just too long. Service staff at the bar and restaurant were excellent! To a one, they were friendly, engaging and helpful. We had a corner King, and the extra space and in room coffee maker was really worth the little extra per night charge. Daily maid service was great, and everything was always very clean. There was always plenty of clean towels. The balcony was welcome to sit out, especially in the mornings and evenings, when I was tired of AC. Beach/pool towels were a welcome touch. We especially appreciated the reserved spaces at the resort for hotel guests, when cruise passengers were present and enjoying the beach. (We've been at another resort elsewhere in the Caribbean, where this was not the case, and our stay there was miserable.) Meals and drinks were expensive, even though we had the package that included 2 dives per day, breakfast and lunch. The package also includes the interisland flight from Provo and transfers to/from the airport. Our cost was $5000 for the 2 of us for a week (not including flights to and from the US).
