Fantastic Stay for Diving Enthusiasts!!!

available kayaksbreakfast optionsknowledgeable divemaster
I enjoyed the kayaks available to use on the water. The breakfast options were AMAZING!!! Bibi, my divemaster, was very knowledgeable and identified many underwater species. The dive center staff were very helpful. All my diving needs were met with professional service.
The resort seems a bit dated, and the air conditioning in my room had a mind of its own.
