The name of these resorts says it all — Magic! I have been diving for more than 50 years — all over the world — and I have never been treated better than at both of these resorts. The accommodations are great (except for the darkness of the room at Magic Islands, which I understand they are changing with the current remodel), the food superb, and the dive operation well organized. But the best parts were the people and the diving! The staff at both resorts are friendly, caring and made us feel like a part of a family. The resorts are small and intimate and the staff terrific. I have never been treated with more care — on the water, under the water and on land.

I saw things I have never before seen, which surprised me because I have done a lot of Pacific diving. Diving with whale sharks was almost a spiritual experience; we saw many different nudibranchs and different colors of frog fish; the mandarin dive was everything we hoped for and more; and we saw mantis shrimp, juvenile sweetlips, schools of sardines, hot pink and purple anemones–I could go on and on.

The travel to and between resorts is long, but the transportation and arrangements all worked well.

All in all, it was an amazing experience — Magic.

We had a fantastic time at Magic Island. The resort was clean and well maintained. The layout of everything created easy access to our room, the pool,dining area, and the dive shop. The kitchen staff and waitresses were one of the highlights of my day. They were all so sweet and gracious. Every single meal was superb. They even stayed late on the night of our arrival to prepare our dinner. Just as well, the girls came in early the day we left to prepare breakfast sandwiches for us to have on our way to the airport. The diving was an all around great experience as well. The dive shop had plenty of equipment for me to rent and were helpful throughout the week with tanks, loading my equipment, and reminding me to put on my weight belt. I enjoyed our divemasters immensely, I appreciated their enthusiasm and humor. They showed me some incredible things underwater. I can't say enough great things about my experience at Magic Island. I would come again and recommend the resort to everyone.
