| Comments: | Oct.21-26 2003 The Best Weather! And the Hotel? Whats to say? All the nay sayers are just that. Picky complainers. Hotel Management could be a little better however, evryone was terrific except Ricardo @ reservations (a total hole). Way too serious to be in charge of custumer service. BUT, $5 will get you into any restaurant you want. Food was just ok but could ALWAYS find something good. THE best guak and pico anywhere. Rooms, alittle small but were cleaned daily and early,NO BUGS, ANTS or any varmints for that matter. A couple of bucks will get you a fridge in your room that will always be well stocked everyday w/bottled water. Great water pressure and all plumbing worked fine, as well as the A.C.- Can't say enough about the Staff - Freddy at the bar - Maricarma at the pool, Edwardo & Mauricio in the restaraunts were all excellent. Grounds are well kept and beautiful. Now, what we came for, the scuba diving. The Best Diving yet.Good di9ve shop & rental equipment. (better than average) Pablo @ Dive Palancar was awesome. If not for him my wife would never have gotten her certification and I would have been diving alone. With Pablos patience she now wants to know when we're coming back because she fell in love with it. Pablo had excellent knowledge of all the reefs. We logged almost 5 hours in the water in the 1 week we were there. 8 different reef dives, all totally different and awesome. Lots of 'Cudas,Eels,Huge Lobsters, Rays, Turtles, big Grouper and large Snappers over 200lbs, 1000's of fish,beautiful canyons- totally cool. We hired Andres' the videogragher and for $140 you go home with 30 mins. of great underwater footage of you on your 2 dives. The Allegro for the money is the best deal going. 2 people 1 week all you can eat and DRINK! under $1000 thats $just about $80 a day per person to eat, drink, sleep and be merry AND, all beach activities are included. Wanna learn to scuba? its INCLUDED! Sailing, Kayaking, Snorkeling, included. Want to complain? Go somewhere else where its warranted. For the money you spend here it would have been adequate if they gave you a tent and a shovel. To make this long report shorter, needless to say we will be back because the diving is that good and the Hotel is not that bad and by this time next year all the renovations should be complete. Rent a jeep it cost us $32 a day or $200 for the week.Go into town its well worth it. Park and walk around , everyone has deal for ya. The drive around the Island is wonderful with a certain peace to it. Stop at the Rasta bar on the south tip for a cold one and tell Jose' that Richy sent you. Hell get a kick out of that. And, dont leave there without trying the shrimp ceviche'. I hope this report may influence any procrastinators to try the Allegro & defineately Dive Palancar. You will be glad.

As a diver in NJ (tough diving here), it is both relaxing and pleasurable to experience the aquatic environment that Dive Palancar has to offer.

| Comments: | We Enjoyed using Dive Palancar so much! My husband just got certified w/ your operation , he was so fortunate to have 2 dive instructors, Katrina, and Pablo, they were so wonderful and made us feel so comfortable. We have been home for about 3 weeks now and are in mourning to come dive again and feel the peace of the reefs. I highly recomend Dive Palancar to anyone visiting Cozumel. Also, the location of the operation is so close to all the reefs, you spend little time on the boat ride. We will never forget this wonderful experience and hope to return soon. | | First Name: | Stephenie | Last Name: | Fuentes | Added: | Friday.October.3.2003 | City, State, Country: | Missouri City, TX USA

| Comments: | We just returned from our 8-day-vacation at the Occidental Allegro Resort where we completed our Advanced Diver certification with Pablo from Dive Palancar. The dive shop is conveniently located right on the resort (< 1-min. walk from the room!). Pablo is an awesome dive instructor. We've also had the pleasure to dive with Ricardo and Luis (the videographer - we bought his video, which we love). Pedro was a great help on the boat. Thanks to all of the Dive Palancar staff for making this a memorable dive experience we'll definitely repeat in the future :)

We were pampered morning noon and night by the friendliest people we've ever met. My wife, 12 year old daughter and myself were thoroughly trained and certified by Ricardo. The man is a master in his craft and is always gracious and patient. A true gentleman and great teacher. We will go back as soon as possible.

| Comments: | My husband and I just returned from a weeks vacation at the Occidental Grand Cozumel. My husband loves to dive, however, I have the fear. After lessons with Gustavo and Ricardo, the beach dive and boat dive with Ricardo, I have much more confidence than I had before, however a ways to go before I feel completely confident.
I highly recommend diving with the staff of Dive Palancar. They are professional, patient, and willing to do whatever is necessary to make a person feel comfortable in the water. I had a wonderful time, and was greatful for the experience of diving for the first time. THANK'S AGAIN RICARDO!!!!!

She led us through the process in a safe and fun environment. Dive Palancar has a well-run crew, from equipment rentals to boats, to instructors, to some fabulous dive locations! Safety is #1 to them, as it was to us and we cannot say enough good things about them. No pressure at a good, relaxed pace. We highly recommend Dive Palancar as your one-stop dive center! Well-maintained equipment, great boats and dive masters, fabulous location--5-10 minute boat ride to some terrific reefs! Keep up the great work!

| Comments: | My dive partner and I just returned from the Occidental Grand Cozumel and diving with Dive Planacar. It was our first time diving after our certification and it was fantastic. We couldn't believe what we saw and purchased a video tape of our dive so we could show everyone at home. I had seen your business had been rated as an "A" in Scuba Diving magazine and I now agree. We thouroughly enjoyed ourselves and hated to leave.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that you operated out of the Grand and suggest you put that on your website. The video was excellent, but I would suggest that the labels and video box have your logo and name on it, such as at the Dolphin Discovery.
If any of my friends travel to Cozumel, I will insist they dive with Dive Palancar. | | First Name: | Mike | Last Name: | Scott | Added: | Sunday.January.12.2003 | City, State, Country: | Mchenry, IL, USA
