Had a great time celebrating our 30th Wedding Anniversary with a two week stay at Fantasy Island. Long time customers, we've been visiting a couple of times a year since 1997. Seen lots of changes over the years, but always the same great diving, and attentive staff. The staff is totally friendly, and is one of the two main reasons we continue to return year after year, the other of course is the great, easy diving.
Had the opportunity to visit with Mr. Gustav (may be mispelled, but he is the new/returned owner) a couple of times. Love the changes and the attention to the updates (water pumps, backup generator, new dive boats), and also the great staff at both the Dive Shop and the Resort.
Darrin as the Dive Shop manager has the same customer first focus as I remember when we had the opportunity to dive with him over the years.
We dove with Nelson and Miguel this trip and saw turtles, sting rays, healthy coral, lots of juvenile fishlife, and even my second Pipefish.
Captain Pedro keeps the cleanest, most organized dive boat I have ever seen, and both he and Captain Alonso were always there to help us back on the boat carefully no matter what the water condition was....fortunately the first week the water was flat calm....just like September water.
The kitchen and wait staff were attentive and fed us too well! Melvis and his made to order omelets are a great way to start a dive day.
Our housekeeper kept our room refreshed and we had 'bathtowel swans' each day when we returned.
Overall, glad we went and looking forward to our next trip.
