Back to Cap'n Dons after a 4 year break and have to say that things were pretty much the same. We stayed in one of the self catering cottages in the gardens which are well away from the noise of the pool and volleyball court (as opposed to the Pool rooms!), but not unfortunately away from the road noise and... more

We stayed at Captain Don's as part of a large group, most of whom were repeat visitors. The theme of the resort is "Diving Freedom." If you're not a diver, I recommend bringing a big fat book to read, because there's not much else going on. If you have your own dive buddy and feel comfortable with minimal divemaster input,... more

Five of us were traveling together. We had reserved a 2 bedroom apartment, but were disappointed with it when we saw it. Upon inquiring as to other options we were shown a bungalow and a villa. While the villa was more expensive, they cut us a deal and we took it. iI was a great decision. While the apartment was... more

Stayed at Captain Don's in an oceanview room for one night in late Feb/09, as a transfer from another hotel. ---The Good--- The property itself is quite nice, very much like any other property in the "International Country of Resortland" you could find in Mexico, Dominican Republic, or Cuba. The rooms are quite large and nice, with a large walk-out... more

If you dive OR snorkel - this is an amazing place to be. There is a profusion of sea life right off the dock - no need to take a boat, although there are many other places on or near the island to dive. Air (or Nitrox) tanks are available 24/7, which is great for a spontaneous trip, or a... more

Our family of ten arrived at 2:00 AM, and endured a painfully slow disorganized check-in. There were four people at the desk, but no one offered to help us find our units. The forms are available on line, so filling them out in advance is smart. No comment on the restaurant, because we do all of our own cooking. We... more

I spent 10 days at Captain Don's Habitat in September 2008 with a group of divers from the UK. It was a perfect resort for divers who want the freedom of diving wherever and whenever they want 24 hours a day. As a non-diver myself there were plenty of options for snorkeling in crystal clear waters while the others dived... more

We just returned from a 7-night stay at Captain Don's, and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay. We had clean towels each day, the dive staff was great, the diving beautiful, the location fantastic, and the food very good. We've been going to Capt Don's for several years. At one point we too felt it was could use... more

I'm sure this was the premier resort at one time, but it’s time to retire. The rooms were just plain dirty. I had to go to the market for cleaning supplies just to use the tub/shower, there was SO much scum in it. If they mopped, the water was dirty and left a sour smell behind. The towels were white....... more
