Buddy Dive Resort Review
Well-equipped rooms, a nicely landscaped compound, and excellent dive packages keep guests coming back to this large resort. The property also includes the old Lion's Dive resort. The former Lion's Dive rooms are slightly larger, are fully air-conditioned, and offer a greater degree of privacy than the original Buddy Dive rooms. All have the basics you'd expect in a Caribbean resort, including a private balcony or patio. Divers will appreciate the drive-through air-filling station for compressed air or Nitrox in the compound. There's a nice beach, and there are decent restaurants, too. Room packages with a van or pickup are a good idea for those who want to explore the island.
