sdreefers:Yeah, but I would like to dive with you.... Protech! I am wondering what is a nice place to stay at, for around $100-$150 US per day that has a nice beach? I have read great things about Protech and I think this is who I would like to dive with. I just don't know quite where to stay.
peterbj7:Places fairly near us with nice beaches - hmm. Ken picked one - Xanadu. Great low-key resort that is deservedly very popular. They have a pool, something Caribbean Villas nearby doesn't have, but the peaceful "bird sanctuary" ambience is common to both. There are lots of other good hotels, but in that price range AND with a good beach I'm struggling a bit. Look up these two on the URL Ken gave, and pm me (or email me - address on my website) for specific help. There's a good chance Xanadu will be full - I don't know that's so, but it does tend to get booked up long in advance - but you may have better luck next door (Caribbean Villas). Or share Paradise Villas with Ken and family - they'll be here at around the same time.
To be fair to the other dive shops, some of which are excellent (even I would dive with them!) they'll all pick you up anywhere in the town area and sometimes further afield.
