We stay at Royal Palm and just rent bikes for the length of our stay at Joe's or Pete's in town. There are several resturants close by - we save those for the evening when we don't want to go into town. There is also a little grocery close. You probably won't go by water taxi unless you want to go way north of town. Bike ride is 10 to 12 minutes into town, which is 3 miles. We like Royal Palm. Nice pool, quiet, the teenagers will want to go to town. When are you coming down? Pam

There is a dive operator on Royal Palm pier (or was), but I do not know who it is. I expect that any of the dive operators will pick you up at RP or close by. There are a couple busy Resort/Hotels close.

Thanks a lot for the info. I guess the bikes look the best option. We want to have a couple of dinning outs, but most of the time use our kitchen and save the money for diving... We will be there from Feb. 28th till March 6th. Any suggestions for diving operations that can offer a discounted 4 days package? Depending on how much we can save, we may be able to do the Blue Hole... (otherwise is like going to Paris and not see the Eiffel tower  ) Thank you again, Peter from Chile

Well, sorry for that, I am english too (from my father) so perhaps the correct analogy in this case would have been: visiting London and not going to the Tower Bridge BTW: I have seen that most dive operators in AC having web pages have a price tag of about US$180 for a day trip to the Blue Hole...  Is there any less expensive way to go there that is not listed in web pages? Thank you all, Peter

There is a less expensive way to get to the Blue Hole but it depends on how many overall local dives you plan to do.
In other words, you can make an arrangement for an overall discount when you book blocks of dives, and negotiate a reduced rate on the Blue Hole trip as well.
A fish and a bird can fall in love, but where will they build their nest?
