Hotel ratings by criteria:
I found the hotel based on reviews on travel truth, and I came for the second time (the first in May 2013).
Here for the first time I saw a reef for which I decided to come again to the same place.
Before that, I saw either a monolithic wall or inexpressive mounds - this quickly gets boring. Here, near pensee, the dream came true to swim "inside" the reef - there are gorges, arches, caves, etc. at a depth of up to 20m and within easy reach of the hotel.

Pros of this place:
Few people in general and especially few in the sea (in December the hotel was generally almost empty - imagine teaspoons were freely available at dinner).
An accessible entrance to the sea - even with strong waves it is not a problem to go in and swim, although I did not find stormy weather.
There are practically no visiting excursions, no surfers, kites, scooters and other interference.
Stingrays, lionfish, large flocks of all kinds of fish are in abundance. With luck comes across any interesting living creatures.

A very diverse terrain and an excellent range of depths for every taste.
If you can say the disadvantages? I have never seen dolphins, etc. , which are praised in the reviews. I have never even seen octopuses.

About the hotel: in general, everything is in order with it.
In May there were a lot of mosquitoes - in December they were poisoned daily, there was no longer a problem.
Breakfast is a problem. I tried it and it makes sense to take something from dinner to eat for breakfast. I even cooked buckwheat for myself, so they brought it.
Only for lunch you can just collect some compote (cold tea). Breakfast-dinner - for drinks in the bar, there are small glasses, uncomfortable.
