We just returned from a glorious vacation at Ramon's Village. Although the resort receives excellent reviews, it still exceeded my expectations. Our family stayed there for 4 nights in order to get certified as divers. It was my husband, two adult children, and daughter's fiance. Three of us were getting open water certification, and two were getting advanced diver certification. The Dive Master, Rick, was incredibly helpful and flexible in setting up the dives- even helping us complete the on-line portion prior to our trip. He was easy to reach by What's App and very responsive. He is easy going and runs an excellent operation. The dive instructors were incredibly hard working and excellent. The two we had were Abdy and Andy. Abdy worked very patiently with three of us and had to extend our teaching beyond the usual two day process. He was flexible, knowledgeable, fun, and kind. Andy worked with the two advanced divers and received excellent reviews from them! We also really appreciated Bryan as a snorkeling dive guide! And, Carlos was quite good as well. The reef at Hol Chan is amazing, filled with underwater wild life including nurse sharks (very safe), rays, lobsters, turtles, moray eels, lobsters, caribbean reef sharks (also safe, although scary looking), barracudas, blowfish, and all kinds of other fish. ||In addition, the accommodations at the resort are incredibly lovely! The grounds are beautiful and rooms spacious, well-maintined, beautiful and comfortable. There is a restaurant there and the food is good! The manager of the resort is helpful and wants you to have a good time. The resort is very well-maintained and felt safe. There is a lovely beach right there where you can swim if snorkeling or diving is not your thing. I do very much recommend a snorkel trip to Hol Chan and shark alley though--it is incredible to see the nurse sharks feeding even if you stay on the boat! ||There was quite a bit of rain while we were there even though the wet season was ending--with climate change, one never knows what the weather will bring. The rain didn't stop us, the ferry from Belize city, or any of the dives. ||I give this resort my highest recommendation! It was exactly what we were looking for, and we all came back as certified divers!
