Comments	Fiestamerica is a well maintained hotel. The staff was exceptonal and could not have been more helpful. Rooms were very clean and serviced every day. Water was provided daily. There are 3 restaurants (1 Mexican, 1 General and 1 Italian-sit down menu). The two buffet (Mexican, General) were hard to tell apart with their menu. Selections were the same almost every day and often the foods was warm at best. Its part of the all inclusive package. The food was OK, certainly not great. The sit down Italian restaurant was closed most of the week for a conference. The two nights we did eat there the food was very good as well as the service. The soups in all the restaurants were outstanding. Dive House which was the dive operation was good. Always someone on the boat, 2 divemasters in the water at all times. Pretty much allowed you to dive your own profile but as it was drift diving the group pretty much stays together. Did not terminate dives for low on air early divers and continued the dive for others. In summary I would stay again at Fiesta and use the Dive House operation. Wyndham is a step up from a hotel standpoint but also generally more expensive if you are looking for an alternative.

UW Photo Comments	Cozumel is drift diving - that alone limits your ability to get a decent shot...need to "see it coming" as you won't be able to hover or go back for the majority of shots.
