Nice place but the whole island has big environmental problems
Pros:

Nice room, confortable bed

Cons:

The island is dirty, all the hotels and restaurants should organise together and REALLY clean and kept clean the island. Also maybe sponsoring education at schools.

Pros:

We were ver comfortable in our simple room. I only wish it had a safe and a small fridge. We were there for the scuba diving, of course, and that staff was exceptional. Food and drinks were great, and we enjoyed happy hour!

Poor
Cons:

Rooms are far less nice than the pictures on the web site. We went to scuba dive and one night half of the diving staff got badly drunk. I did not feel safe underwater.

Exceptional
Pros:

We had a great stay at Evolution, the staff were very helpful with arranging transport and setting up dives. The room was comfortable for resting after long days of diving, and the beach area was great for hanging out. Dive guides were professional and attentive, the thresher shark and Gato Island dives were phenomenal! Restaurant was also great and able to accommodate my food allergy.

Excellent place for a dive holiday
Pros:

All the staff are really friendly and attentive. It’s a great place to dive - it seemed like we were out first for the Thresher sharks was dive which made a difference considering how many boats go out each morning. The team of dive masters are excellent, you could see how much pride they took in giving every diver a great experience. I would absolutely stay here again.

Cons:

Some of the facilities could use an update, like the shower head in the room. But it was still very much worth staying.
