Lots of concerns about Rex Turtle Beach coming up over past few weeks. Do you know if any of this filters back to the Rex group or tour operators using the hotel? It can't be doing them any good. However, we booked before we discovered this site and will make the best of it. It will be great - it's only somewhere to sleep and eat, the island itself is the real attraction. Went to the Dive Show in London recently and met up with Duane from Blue Water Inn and Sean from Manta Lodge. Thinking of taking a few days out of our inclusive package to stay at one or the other to do some diving. It would be lovely to have any comments about either accommodation or the diving outfits sited nearby.

Hi Lou. The Rex may need a coat of paint, but I think it provides reasonable value for money. It fills a slot in the market at basic 3*. It's all very well to compare, but I'm sure you'll have a great time. Never stayed at Manta Lodge, so can't comment, but a very reliable correspondent recently reported very bad catering. Having stayed at the Blue Waters Inn (see my Holiday Report series in this forum back in early Feb/late Jan) I can strongly recommend the place.
