The alchemists are great.
The issue for me was diving. The boat trips typically go to the same reef and it gets repetitive.
Plus the cost of those trips is much higher then any other resort.

Not a big diver or snorkeler by any means, but the W really does have a fantastic house reef and nearby dive spots. Unfortunately, it's a W (and I heard they made it even MORE of a W after I was last there).
