Stayed 14 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy M. 16 May 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location and awesome staff! Carly remained in constant contact as we had to rebook due to Covid. She was accommodating and we couldn’t be happier. Zamir and Maria showed us the island and took us to all the hot spots to eat and dance! Simply amazing with breathtaking views! We will be back very soon. ##### Amy M. Stayed 8 nights in May 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael C. 6 Mar 2018 #### Amazing dive shop and rental. We could not have been happier with our stay at Blue Island Divers! They were extremely accommodating and took great care of us. Erik would call a friend of his that had a cab who we were able to trust when driving around the island. The dive staff were fantastic and were always looking for creatures to show us. I can't wait to make a return trip to BID soon! ##### Michael C. Stayed 7 nights in May 2016 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul K. 11 Feb 2018 #### Wonderful Adventure We stayed 3 wonderful night here, and 7 more at their other place. The owners Eric & Carly are gracious and welcoming hosts. The room was rustic but comfortable, clean and as described. Perfect for a quiet vacation getaway. The kitchen has everything needed, the bathroom and shower clean and nice. Didn't need air conditioning, we kept doors open to get the ocean breeze through the double screen doors, and to hear the surf. A guard was on duty from evening until daybreak to keep an eye on things. The area is clean, well kept and raked often. Large trees shade the grounds and the hammock area nicely with plenty of beach chairs for sun. A long dock ends in a covered area perfect to sip a cool rum punch and watch those fantastic sunsets. We ate several great meals at the Salty Mango just steps up the hill from our room. To mix it up a bit, it's easy to catch a taxi to West End for an evening walk and a bite to eat. The beach is clean and sandy. My daybreak walks along the shore was a perfect way to start the day, take water shoes. The waves break on the barrier reef which make for an easy swim from the dock. We snorkeled out to the corals several times during our stay. We also tried the Discover Scuba course offered by the dive shop. What an absolutely amazing experience it was to see the ocean side of the reef wall from 35ft under, highly recommended! Can't wait to get back there. ##### Paul K. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2016 ---
