2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I had an awful experience at Scuba Buddy, I would never suggest someone staying there. Starting from the transfer from the airport, then the conditions of the room (no running water to get showers and no AC!), until the island hopping excursion during which we have been stuck in the middle of the sea for 1 hour because we run out of petrol. An absolutely awful experience. The only positive note is the kindness of the staff at the lodge.
