Rooster1:The beach should be done by may1 as there was only one piece of break wall to put up and it would be done minus some clean up and new hammocks. I would not hold my breath for a new pier yet. The hotel dive business (del mar aquatics) is sharing the pier with atlantis sub right in front of the hotel. So if you dive with them you won't have to travel.
The restauant is actually really good. I had stayed there a few times in the past but never really ate there other then breakfast, but I have to admit the food was really good and much cheaper then town.
I did not go to Nachi Cocum but they do have free shuttle service for the hotel guests to and from the hotel/beach club
Great to hear the restaurant was good! I got a good deal on an AI package (cheaper then their rack rate, maybe because we were cancelled twice post-Wilma?) and although I usually like to go to town for dinner, the package is still a good deal for breakfast and lunches. Good to know that a couple dinners might be an option too if we don't feel like motivating.
I have a favorite dive op that I usually book with. The last couple trips we took a taxi to the Caleta, which was no big deal. By any chance did you see any other boats picking up divers at the Atlantis pier?
