Comments: The 'El Presidente' is the BEST HOTEL on the island. Hands down.
It is worth the extra dollars. Great diving off the property, great food,
excellent staff, good loaction, top notch large room. It's $5/way to town by
cab. If you can, get a room near the south end of the property. That's
where the iquana's hang-out and it's very quiet. Ask for the complimentary
coffee to be delivered to your room. If you have a downstairs beachfront room,
have the hammock put it - it's free of charge and a great way to relax (rooms
5130-5135 are the best!!). Try a night dive from the southern most ladder or
go out the gate and hike about 100 yards down the rock to a little wall and
enter the water there. The mild current will drift you back up to the hotel.
Then keep going to the barge. Hint: look inside and you might find the 60 lb.
Dogfish!
Dive with Martin is GREAT!!! Save money and have good dive masters who will
work with you on your dive location of choice with a small group of guests.
Orlando is a great master.
DO NOT DO THE ATV TOUR!! Stay away from ATV Jungle Wild Tours!!! They will lie
to you and the 'tour' will be a major low point of your trip. It may sound
cool, but it is NOT!!
