Wow, it sounds like you cannot go wrong with them.
Oh yeah, anyone have any problems bringing a laptop?
My experience with Buddy Dive was slightly different. While I had no complaints about the dive operation, food service, and general resort atmosphere (landscaping, pools, cleanliness), our room was a different story altogether.
Due to the design of the place, there was inadequate ventilation in the bathroom (no window, just a louver apparently feeding to some outside vent). This meant that every shower turned the bathroom into a sauna. The only way out of the sauna was to open the doors, but that just spread the moisture to the rest of the unit. Combine the moisture with floors that were as slick as ice when wet, and you have potential for problems.
The other cause of the wet floors was the leaking refrigerator. Every day we'd put a towel on the floor to sop up the growing puddle. Everyday the maid would remove the towel and let another puddle grow.
My wife slipped on the never-dry floor several times, wrenching her hip one time so badly she could barely walk for the rest of the trip. Thankfully Buddy Dive's boat dive operation is excellent since shore diving was out of the question for her.
There was no screen on the back door (and no opening windows), so when you wanted ventilation, you had no choice but to let in all the mosquitoes. The back door itself was a joke, since you asked about bringing your laptop. I did bring my laptop and saw many others with laptops at Buddy, but I continually worried about it once I discovered we could pop open the back door "lock" with any tool that would fit in the keyhole. While that was handy for me when I went to the pool, since the only other way back in the unit was walking all the way around the building, anyone else had just as easy access to our living room!
The water boiler thingamajig didn't work. That's more a Euro convenience I suppose, but as there was no kettle either, my wife wasn't able to have tea. And the moulding was loose in the hallway near the kitchen was loose and I caught my toe on it once and caused a lot of blood to mingle with the kitchen floor puddle. I let the maid clean that one up. While these last two are rather nitpicky, it's just further reminder that the attention to maintenance at Buddy Dive is apparently nil.
Instead of wondering why there was a puddle of water with a trail leading from the refrigerator every day, the maid simply mopped it up. Instead of wondering why there was a trail of blood leading from the loose moulding with the sharp jagged edge, the maid simply mopped it up. If the managers can't get around to checking out the rooms every once in a while to make sure there aren't any pending maintenance issues, then they need to train their staff to report obvious problems.
Did we report any of the problems? Sure. We wanted an extra pillow and it took us two days to get one in a sort of scavenger hunt with one staff member advising to ask another and so on until we made it to the laundry and begged. We reported the refrigerator and nothing was done. We didn't bother with the rest simply because it would have appeared we were nitpicking complainers when we are nothing of the sort. So I kept quiet and silently endured.
The worst for me was the bed/mattress. It sagged almost to the floor. Even without laying on it, it was clear from the U-shaped bowing that the bed was in sore need of maintenance. Was it my job as paying customer to become room inspector and report all 30 defects of the room we stayed in so they could fix them for the next paying customer? Heck no. I slept on that bed every night, waking up to a sorer back each morning until I herniated a disc on the last day and had to pack all my gear while hunched over.
My experience there appears to be in the minority. Apparently most of the rooms there are in better repair or else other people are far more tolerant than my wife and I. I'm not sure that the latter is the case, though, as I've enjoyed plenty of accommodations far more rustic than Buddy's. I suppose odds are that you'll end up with a decent room. If not, ask to switch early on. Beware of Room 106.
Went to Den Laman last visit and I loved it. Beds hard as a rock. Excellent maintenance: everything works and works well. The only design flaws are a curtain/door-less shower that gets too much water on the bathroom floor, and we had slight window leakage when it rained hard one night, but because of the floor texture, there's absolutely no slipping. I preferred the boat diving with Buddy, but BDA's tank room is just as easy to get to as Buddy's drive-thru for shore diving.
When we went to book our September trip, there was absolutely no question about repeating Den Laman.
This one too:
