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 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.
