We had a fabulous time. Everything was well planned. The scuba diving was great, the food was tasty, and the lodging was top notch. The extra activities - canyoneering, hiking into the rainforest, whale watching were all amazing as well. Thanks so much Dina for another wonder adventure!

Unique! Life on a hillside. Luxury and normalcy in one spot. Surprising employees make the transition. Energetic divers always ready for another activity. Great people to be associated with.
