Sharky60 - yes and no.........
I wasn't all that impressed with the dive op at SCC. The boats are big and slow.....really slow. The DMs are okay, but nothing special. I didn't find them especially personable either though we have been told by others that groups do receive preferential treatment.
The shore diving was FANTASTIC though and the best part of the diving for us. It was good to see the reefs again (we haven't been to Coz since hurricane) but we found the shore diving at SCC was wonderful and a very critter rich environment.
We did find the breakfast and lunches good there at SCC with the usual stuff and a good value. However, we found the dinners to range from yuck to very good, with no particular rhyme or reason. Some food was waaaay underseasoned, some food was completely bland, some was such small portions that we went back to the room still hungry. Other items seemed to be good (we really liked the Beach Fiesta night food, fresh cooked on grill and unlimited choices) and several seafood dinner options were good. BUT, me and hubby are both serious "foodies" and eat very well here at home. (I love to cook and can prepare dishes from Indian to Italian to Middle Eastern to Mexican and Asian... so we set the bar pretty high when eating out.) So for us, the food at SCC was just okay. In our opinions, the best food we had all week was over on the Mainland at restaurants (read my trip report for details). On all our past trips to Cozumel (5 times) we have eaten out every meal and our favorite restaurants were Casa Denis downtown and Prima's.
That said, we might stay at SCC again if we go back to Coz, but we would venture downtown for dinners a few nights during the week. We loved the resort itself, the fantastic staff, the layout, the lockers down by the dock or pool area, the easy shore diving...
