Comments	Fantasy Island physically is a wonderful layout but is lacking maintenance and money to keep it first class. Beds were poor, slept on the floor for part of the week and food plentiful but below average. Best part was the ice cream. We had our own designated boat and oustanding captain Pedro and divemaster Derry. He identified more than 15 seahorses, the most I have ever seen in one week of diving. Massive coral damage from island runoff contrasted by wonderful reef when not in the path of death and destruction.We saw a dearth of any large fish. We discussed this and will see if the better enforcement of the park rules restores the fish. The absence of fish was in stark contrast to my experience on the other side of the island with vibrant fish life admittedly 12 years ago. A cheap trip which got my nitogen levels back to near normal but as another reader stated there were reasons for it being so inexpensive.
