Really good Breakfast Buffet

The breakfast buffet at Rum Runners was very nice! I loved the made-to-order omelets, pancakes, and the deep, rich coffee. The variety kept me coming back for more every morning, and the oceanfront setting made it even more enjoyable.

Cozy Junior Suite

I stayed in a junior suite that had a spacious layout with a large patio. It was perfect for relaxing after a day of diving. The room came equipped with a fridge and microwave, which were convenient for quick meals, though they lacked plates and cutlery.

Easy Shore Diving Access

The shore diving setup at Captain Don's Habitat was fantastic. Tanks were accessible 24/7, allowing me to dive whenever I wanted. The house reef was beautiful, and I appreciated the convenience of rinsing my gear right there on site.

Clean and Functional

The bathroom in my junior suite was clean and functional, featuring a hot shower which was a delight after diving. It met all my needs perfectly, although I did wish for more hanging space for gear. Still, it was a pleasant experience overall.

My stay at this resort was a mix of positives and negatives. The dive operation was well organized and the instructors were enjoyable to be around. The room was spacious and had been updated, providing a comfortable place to rest. On the downside, I did encounter some issues with management and cleanliness in certain areas, which impacted my overall experience. I am torn on whether I'd return, given the price I paid for the experience.

My stay was a mixed bag. The location right at the sea is simply stunning, and the vibrant ocean life can be enjoyed right off the dock. The staff was wonderful and made us feel welcomed throughout our visit. However, the lack of reliable Wi-Fi in the rooms was a bit frustrating, and the accommodation issues I encountered left me disappointed. Overall, it has great potential, but there are a few areas that definitely need improvement.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, which featured a beautiful swimming pool overlooking the ocean and convenient access to fantastic diving spots. The accommodations were spacious and well-equipped for our needs, making it a great value. However, service at the restaurant was a bit slow during peak times, and there were some cleanliness issues that need addressing. Overall, a lovely experience with a few drawbacks.

7.2/10

I had a pretty decent stay at Captain Don's, with clean and spacious accommodations and helpful dive shop staff. The restaurant on-site offered lovely sunset views, but my experience with diving was just okay for less experienced divers. The location is great for divers but not very beginner-friendly. Overall, it was good value for money, but there were a few areas that could use improvement.

The on-site restaurant had a lovely sunset view, and the ribs I tried were excellent. However, raising prices mid-week felt a bit off.

The dive shop was well-run and organized, which was a plus, but I did think some areas, like the stairs to the house reef, could use better safety features.
