So, yes, the team is super nice. The equipment is also very good and taken care of. And if you are only staying in the resort, a price of EUR 90 per dive seems okish, because equipment is included.
Having said that, I would like to shed some lime on the other side of the medal:
1. We inquired about dives, dive sites, organization, etc.. The answer we got: we do great fun dives in the bay of Pilos. No map was shown, no videos or pictures, not even an explanation whether we were talking about a wreck, reef or cave dive…. If you are a diver that takes his dives seriously, this is not the level of explanation you expect. Especially, if you take into account:
2. If you have a car, it is quite easy to drive 20 mins south to the bay of Pilos or 20 mins up to Marathopoli (island of Proti) where you can find two very good dive shops that are offering the same experience for EUR 45/50 or even less if you do more dives. When we inquired about the price difference, we were told that this is a 5* experience and therefore they needed to charge double… (same dive site, same high quality equipment included,…). We also inquired with locals and they told us, that the hotel gets an additional kick back out of the rates and that is the reason they need to charge more.
So if you are looking for a chauffeur that takes you from the resort to the dive site, this is your place to go. If you are somebody who likes smart money choices, you most probably have a rental and you go there by yourself to support the locals and not a big hotel chain ??
I really need to point out that the staff was very friendly and they earned the 2nd star. - via
