Our group just got back together after our dive trip to Dream’s Resort in Curacao.
We had a group of 12, had 10 scuba diving and 2 non divers. Dream’s Resort was very nice, everyone in the group was very happy with the service and food. The different restaurants made a nice change of food and menus. The rooms were very nice and clean. Room staff was very nice and accommodating.
The dive shop we dealt in the resort, was Caribbean Sea Sports. They were very Professional and accommodating in many ways. Joyce , Hugo and other staff met us all as we arrived for our meeting at the dive shop. The owner Orlando also made it very easy and convenient during our diving vacation. We had a couple of equipment issues and Orlando and Hugo jumped in and helped make it one of the best diving vacations ever!!!!!
I and my group give it 10+ and will return soon.
