During both stays, I dove out of a dive shop past the IC, so the drive last summer from the Hilton was a bit longer, but we went right by the IC during our dive excursions.
We did have one issue at the Hilton that required police involvement. The hotel acted as if they were attentive, but never followed-up after we departed. Regardless, it did not ruin our vacation, and two staff members ended up losing their jobs (and rightfully so).
Thanks for the response. I'm almost afraid to ask what the incident was! Since you seem to have been in the area numerous times, any experience with the OWB at the Sofitel?
