Dennis and Roxanne put together the best Invasion to date. All the Invasions were great, but this one topped it.
Atlantis Dive Resort did an outstanding job taking care of us. They met us at the airport and transported us to either the Midas Hotel or the resort... eliminated the anxiety of trying to figure it out on our own. They packed us into vans, and drove us to the south side of the island where they had boats waiting for us to go to the resort. What an adventure.
The food was fabulous... I looked forward to every meal, and it cost me 5 lbs. Let's see how fast I can lose that. Now, there's a friendly competition between the two resorts on who cooks the best food. Well... my favorite breakfast at PG was not as good at Dumaguete. But, every other meal item was great!
Our dive guide, Ramil, at PG was fantastic. He's the best I've seen, yet. The dive operation was very safety conscious, and followed a lot of rules that I tend to take for granted. They were one of the more organized dive operations I've been with. A dive briefing before every dive... our boat was always ready... and the crew was great!
Our room was OK... the lights weren't bright, so the room was dark. It made it tough prepping the camera in the room. I'm glad they had a camera room with plenty of lights... I wasn't fond of the mattress on the single sheet as a blanket... I thought our mattress was hard at PG, and it was like a brick in Dumaguete. It made me appreciate my pillow top mattress at home... Oh! It felt so good yesterday morning when I got home.
I was amazed at how fast everyone at the resort knew our names. They must have had our pictures on flash cards and studied them before we arrived. They had my name and room number memorized...
Overall... I can't say enough about Atlantis... They're a very well run operation... very organised... excellent customer service..
