Comments I went with a small group from the San Francisco bay area. The hope was to see the coral spawning, however our timing must have been off a bit.
The rooms were very roomy and included a kitchenette. We ate most meals at the restaurant, which was reasonably priced and had good food.
The diving was very good with lots of colorful corals and the typical mix of Caribbean fish. The one thing that stood out as being different that other places I have been was the large numbers and colors of Christmas tree worms. Diving the house reef was easy to access and well worth diving several times during the week.
I plan to return to this resort for a winter trip next year.
