.... not looking for anything fancy -- clean, safe, decent food, good service in the resort and especially on the dives....
I think you just described FIBR.... and many other places on Roatan.
As RobinT says, it would be a lot easier if you filled out your profile, as well as further defining what your needs are.
For sure
FIBR is giving away the store with their pricing, no doubt. Again, RobinT gives some good advice in regards to what you'll find on Roatan in general, but I'll be more specific to your question. FIBR was designed in an attempt to be all things to all people. The creator saw CoCoView's dive operation and copied it. He saw a Club Med's layout and copied it.
Unfortunately, when you copy something, it depends in large part upon the perception you had. For what it is, it works well, but it is a Petticoat Junction version of a Club Med. The "mixed reviews" as you viewed them, might have been a cause of the level of service which is known to fluctuate weekly along with other bobbling factors- consistency has never been one of their hallmarks.
In terms of dive operations, once again, using the comparator of Club Med.... No one beats the consistent cleanliness and tidy look of a Club Med dive op, so lets take that off the table. FIBR's boats are a little grimy, their dive storage "wet room" is more than adequate, but a bit poorly lit.
The dive crews more than make up for any shortcomings in the operation, which again- are not that big an issue.
It's their DM's that get the consistent rave reviews, and in this unusual area for diving,
you're going to need a DM... and a good one. This zone, about a 10 mile coastline, is the most unique of its kind in the Caribbean. The shallow, vertical Sun drenched walls present a micro environment for all the little colorful critters that can be found in all of the
ooh-ahh pictures and critter ID books. This is what you will likely see:

If you honestly want to complete 3 dives a day, there is no cheaper way to do this on Roatan~ go to FIBR immediately. However- You can do one dive a day and do it
way cheaper by going to the west End and buying your services ala carte. That will also put you in the middle of the "action" of the social scene, for what it is on this backwater island.
Roatan is a small island with a
large divergent array of choices that offer different levels of service, quality, consistency and pricing.
