Comments	Very well run operations. At the airport we found Lewis from All West Apts., who got us all to our rental cars (incl. w/our apt. price). We all followed Lewis to the grocery store to stock up for the week, and then headed up to the village of Westpunt (about a 40 minute drive). Our apt. was on the 1st floor and had a wonderful balcony overlooking the shore. Beautiful sunset watching here! Ocean Encounters West is only a 5-6 minute drive from All West Apts. We were very glad we had the car. Despite what we had read before we went, we do not feel this is walkable, unless you have about 20 minutes and lots of energy. The folks at Ocean Encounters West were really excellent to dive with. I had equipment problems, but Brian made sure I did not miss a dive! The service is really outstanding and these folks really enjoy what they do. All divemasters were able to point out interesting things while diving, and the pace is good for photographers. We would easily return to both All West Apts. & Ocean Encounters West Dive.
