Solid stay and nice staff
Great place to stay, convenient, great restaurant / bar options, nice staff, and rooms were clean - the only issue I had was the bed was pretty hard, and we struggled finding parking inside the lot when they had an on-site event, although there's street parking as well.

My first time visiting Captain Don's and I can’t wait to go back. If you love diving whenever you want this is the place. The updated rooms are fantastic with good amenities and great housekeeping staff. Captain Don’s truly is diving freedom and I can’t wait to go back.

Standard room is tight for two guests. Not enough parking spaces on site. Overall, staffs are friendly, though management must be improved. Dive operations by minimum crews. It is not bad, though wish to have extra safety pre-cautions especially on the dive boat. Bar and restaurants are excellent in foods and services.

Have only one negative - food at the restaurant, while good quality, was poorly prepared. They need a new “chef “ who doesn’t overcook everything. The only bad meals we had.

The best place to stay for diving! You have a locker for your gear right by the dock. You put your gear on and in minutes you’re driving in one of the best spots on the island right off of their dock. The staff is incredible & totally equipped for boat dives if you want that. We looked at other places & we will go back to Captain Dons for sure! The food is pricey & only OK but it’s easy to get to other restaurants.

The property has an amazing setting with an amazing view which made up for a really dated room. Room 70 needs a serious update. The bathroom looked great because it was updated but this rest of fhe room was not updated. The beds were so old and the mattress and pillows was very uncomfortable. Expedia also needed to say that you need to put down a deposit of US$200 because i was unprepared for this.
