I'm at the hotel now and would agree with mbbash217. I did find the breakfast buffet to be fantastic, so I might rate the food slightly higher. Beyond that the other food is good, not great. Room is very comfortable but the mattress is quite firm.

We have been snorkeling every day and have tried quite a few different spots of reef; sea life is excellent. I do NOT recommend the whale shark trip; you pay $595 plus service charge and we did not even see one. The staff tried but we were simply out of luck and there is no refund; it always took up six hours on our first day there. The manta ray trip is shorter and much less expensive ($200) and we were successful there. At the same time, just snorkeling the house reef is very enjoyable.

The staff is absolutely wonderful. I would love to return.
