I had a wonderful stay at Compass Point. The condos are spacious and clean, making my family feel right at home, especially with the great kitchen and easy access to the pool.

Compass Point Dive Resort is truly a hidden gem, especially for divers and families. The rooms are fantastic and provide everything you'd need for a comfortable stay, while the diving program is exceptional, nestling you right beside the ocean. The friendly and accommodating staff truly make the experience seamless and enjoyable. However, note that it can be a bit quiet as it's located away from the main tourist spots, and the lack of an elevator could pose a challenge for some guests.
