| I have stayed at this hotel twice a year for the last 6 years. I love this place. I just returned from there 4/22/06 and they have painted the rooms and completed minor repairs (new light fixtures etc). The rooms are clean, well furnished and comfortable. The bathrooms/showers need renovation as mold and mildew continue to be a problem. The hot water heater in the 3 bedroom is small (20 gallon I think) and is not nearly enough for 4-6 people. The beds are all singles but can be paired for a double. The beds are somewhat firm. I always eat at local restaurants so I do not utilize the kitchen. A microwave, gas stove and refrigerator are standard. The staff are extremely helpful and pleasant and complaints are addressed quickly. Clearly this is the best dive operation on the island. The drive-thru air/nitrox fill station is primo !! Since most of the diving on the island is shore diving it makes exchanging tanks a breeze. No more hauling tanks from the dive shop up to your vehicle. The Buddy Dive site just off the doc is good but definitely shows the signs of frequent divers. But this is an excellent location for that first "is my weight right" dive. The dive shop staff are exceptional. The restaurant on grounds (The Lion's Den) is wonderful. It offers fantastic views of the sunset and great food too. The pool bar is equally nice and is a good place for lunch between dives. I have stayed at several other places on this island but I definitely prefer Buddy Dive.
