Which dive hotel is this

[Icculus]

My wife and I stayed at secrets aura last June and every day we did a two tank boat dive with dive pals car our surface interval consisted of stopping at a pier with a bunch of other dive operators. This seemed to be a all inclusive hotel as there was food available for us and a full service dive shop right off the peer. Tons of different dive companies stopped here. It wasn't down town. It was just a mile or two down the beach from secrets aura.

any ideas?

we are booking again and I'd like to look into this hotel/operation

Paradise Beach Club? Or Playa Mia?

Paradise Beach Club? Or Playa Mia?

Neither being a hotel. But they would look like an AI, minus the rooms.

Does this look like it?

Picasa Web Albums - Larry - The Beach Clu...

If it was actually a hotel or resort to the south of the Aura there are only 3, the Allegro, then the Grand & finally the Iberostar

Strangely enough it doesn't seem like either of those. Man I wish I could upload my memory to a pic.

right off of pier is bathrooms to the right/straight and to the left is a giant buffet with chairs etc.

i never did did see a hotel per say.

man this sucks. I'm debating between secrets or another place.
ill be honest can't even decide between cozumel or Bonaire or something.

Uploading it is easy.

Figuring out the cable connections is the hard part...

Here is a suggestion... Go to google maps and punch is your starting point as "Secrets hotel" zoom in on the secrets hotel until you can get to the "Streetview" then take the little guy in the top left hand corner and drag him down to the secrets spot. You can then navigate down the road until you see something familiar. It's almost like your on the island.

Guests from Secrets (any of the different sections) wouldn't be given meal privileges at the other resorts I've named so if you were allowed to eat you had to be at a beach club. If all you did was tie up there it may be the Grand.





























This is the pier at the Allegro































And the Iberostar (who in general don't welcome other dive ops using their pier)

Top Pic with the dive flag on the pole is the Occidental Grand.
