The resort was decent for what we needed, especially if you're into diving. We really appreciated the dive shop and the help from the staff there. However, the cleanliness of the room could use improvement, and the food was just average. Expect some issues with beach bed reservations and mosquitoes. Overall, it's perfect for divers, but there may be better all-inclusive options elsewhere.
