Hello
First may I say that this I believe is one of the very first negative comments I have received on Scubaboard in more than 3 years of posting here and providing services to scubaboard members and I have to say I am rather concerned about the post as I am very open to honest critique of my operation and am open to anyone posting there experiences.
I have been around for more than 14 years in Belize and you do not last that long by not providing a quality experiences and paying very close attention to quality safety etc.
However every now and again we can and do as everyone does get a guest that is not happy and we do everything we can to correct any issue that is causing the problem but sometimes even that is not enough.
There are many Scubaboard Members that have visited my place and had the opposite experience you had so I checked out your profile so I could go back to my october files and look you up however your Scubaboard profile is empty and it seems to joined Scuba Board to specifically place this message.
I would certianly like to know your name so I may go through my past guests and check on your questionaire since every guest that leaves is asked to fill in a questionaire so that we may see how we can improve and to gauge the guests enjoyment of there vacation. I can then see what was the problem and what I did to correct it which I know I would of worked with you to eleviate any problems you were having but i really cannot recall anyone addressing anything with me.
Please also provide what I said concerning your problems
I especially ask guests upon leaving to fill out a quality control questionaire they are asked about the staff the diving service food service your room etc and I can honestly say that we get EXCELLENT reviews 98% of the time and I have THOUSANDS of completed questionaires from past guests that are excellent, I can honestly say that the top marks CONTINOUSLY go to the STAFF whom I consider to be the best on the island and have been with me for many many years they bend over backwards to make sure guests have a great time, and the Rooms well they are actually Suites over 1200 sq ft and I have never ever had any questionare regard them as a One star most people checking in are blown away by the size of the unit and most say its bigger than there house.
Boats
My boats are the same size as most other operators in town 28ft and we only take 6 divers on our boats so we have no need for larger boats than that.
One of our boats is NEW and the other is in excellent shape and all have the required safety equipment on board ie communication oxygen,life vests etc ITS THE LAW and we have everthing located in the front of the boat under the bow, we are subject to spot checks by the Marine Patrol at any time to check this.
so your post alarms me a little especially as it is complete opposite to the many questionaires I have on file and the fact that you joined to specifically post this message which is fine if indeed you visited us but in order to give your post credability you will need to identify yourself and I would very much like to know in detail your experiences you may e-mail me at
playablancabeachclub@yahoo.com as I hold my reputation in the highest regard and the reason you do not see negative posts from my operation is because I and my staff do everthing in my power to ensure that visitors have a great experience when visiting when we have a negative (and it happens on occasion) I do everything i can to make it right.
Best regards
