It is a nice hotel and you can order off of the menu on their AI, but it's a small menu. As bored as I got after a few days eating there once, I'd hate to do it for two weeks.I will throw out a name. I was very happy with Casa del Mar. They have the option of AI or not. Thier food is good and there is a very nice cantina across the road. They have thier own dive shop across the street with unlimited shore diving and a nice boat with a great crew. There is a convenience store next door for any pop or candy fixes you need.
The rooms aren't fancy but they are clean, comfortable and air conditioned. Staff was friendly and very helpfull. The grounds are beautiful and pool is wonderful with a swim-up bar. The only down side is if you want to go into town you will need a taxi or scooter rental. I recommend the scooter!
Yep, maybe not as cheap at my idea above, but they do have a nice special, and it's a great little hotel and dive Op.If you are thinking of going before the end of September, check out the special being offered by Blue Angel. Dive with them and stay free. They throw in meals, too. They have the special posted on their facebook page. You can easily check them out by searching the forum. Even if you're not going by September, give them a look as they are a favorite of many and reasonably priced even when not on "special".
Most trips are 2-tank and start at $60 and up I think. Customary tipping on those trips is like $10 more and you may as well budget that, and it's customary to tip hotel maids at least a buck/night & waiters at least a buck meal.If I go to a non-dive hotel, how much does a single dive cost with a separate operator?
