Pros
The on-site dive operation offers unlimited shore diving, including night dives, and daily boat dives to sites such as USS Kittiwake and Devil's Grotto.
Secure gear lockers and staff-assisted gear handling let guests leave equipment at the dive shop instead of carrying it to their rooms.
The dive shop provides Nitrox and courses from Open Water through Rescue Diver, with instructors frequently described as patient and knowledgeable.
Cons
There is no sandy beach on the property; the shoreline is jagged coral rock and concrete.
The route to town has little or no sidewalk until close to the cruise port, which can make walking uncomfortable.
