The Occidental Grand is great but pretty far from town ($15 taxi each way), if that matters. Rooms, grounds, food, beach and pool are all top notch. Dive Palancar is a good op but they run 4 single tank dive each day and limit bottom times (35 minutes for deep dives and 45 minutes for shallow dives) to maintain schedule. I often stay there and usually do am dives with a smaller op and then get a 10 dive package from DP that my wife and I split in the afternoons. Plus you would want to do your night dives with them as most ops do not want to come that far south for a nigh dive. Don't miss the night dive as the souther shallow reefs can be really good at night. SCC is also a good choice but is usually a bit pricey, once you add in tips, for what you get. Food is good. No TVs is a good thing. Hammocks are great. Dive op is OK but really limits diving on the shallow southern reefs as their boats are big and slow. I have not been there in a few years now but their shore dive took a beating in the storms. SCC is an easy walk to town but cruise ships are usually in every day except Sunday.
