I had an incredible stay at TurtleBay Dive Resort, where the staff went above and beyond to care for me when I wasn't feeling well after diving. The rooms were basic but clean with a lovely ocean view. The food was delicious, especially the local dishes, and the diving experience was remarkable. However, I found the internet connection in the rooms to be poor at times and ordering simple items like water could be a hassle.

Turtle Bay Dive Resort is an incredible place for divers and families looking for a mix of adventure and relaxation. The views and accessibility to stunning marine life create unforgettable experiences, especially while diving. The rooms are comfortable and have beautiful views, but the location can be difficult to access, and some dive-related services like camera handling could be improved. Overall, a fantastic stay if diving is your goal, just be aware of the walk to town and additional costs for transfers.
