This is my second time at Coral View, and I’m already planning my return trip in May! I absolutely love Utila. I love the culture, the diving, the food, and there is nothing bad that I can say about Útila.
I feel the same about Coral View. The reason I came back is because of the diving, the friendly and welcoming atmosphere, the affordability, and the convenience.
The dining room manager and chef Alex remembered me, our conversations from over a year ago, and what was going on in my life when I last saw them. They also remembered my husband. If you want to truly experience the island culture and cuisine, I highly recommend this restaurant. The food is amazing.
The owner of the resort Heath is very nice, welcoming, friendly, receptive, and accommodating. I had a small unplanned occurrence that could have precluded my diving, but he helped me work through it and accommodated my needs so that I could continue to dive. Lots of places and people would not do this for you, and it would have been reasonable for him to say that he could not help me out with what I needed, but he did help me through it so that I could dive. I was so appreciative for his flexibility and i will not ever forget this kindness.
The boat and diving are perfect. You will feel safe with captains José and Albert, as they have decades of experience with diving (and are semi-retired with probably close to 10,000 dives), they will get you to the dive spots, and they will prioritize your safety. They also help you and the DMs in formulating a dive plan. They know a great deal about diving, these waters, the currents, and things that I honestly cannot explain. It’s like they have a sixth sense! ****PLEASE REMEMBER TO TIP THEM. THEY TRULY DESERVE IT****
Sirey is the DM that I was with. She is very skilled, safe, friendly, flexible, receptive, and I did not worry about my safety in the water with her. She is very passionate about diving. Some of the days that we went it was actually very cold and windy!! She never complained or suggested that we hold off. She was always— 100% of the time —- as eager as I was to get in that water. She is a lot of fun to dive with and she also helped me relearn how to navigate with a compass, as I was not so good with my compass. We had so much fun together, and I am so happy about our friendship!! She always brought fruit for us to have in between our snacks, with was an added plus! She is als a great bartender!! **REMEMBER TO TIP!**
Oh, I love this place so much. I highly recommend, if you’re looking for a place to stay and dive that has it all. The bar is also a lot of fun, has good music, and has great drinks at a very affordable price. - via
