Great Place to Stay for Divers!

We had a wonderful stay at A1! The closeness to Dive Friend, and the private dock was the major reason for us to stay here. We really enjoyed staying here, where everything was very clean and comfortable. We would love to stay here again!

Great condo, location and setup for diving! The screened in porch area for drying gear is fabulous. Simple and had everything we needed. My only recommendation is to upgrade the pillows, they definitely have seen better days but other than that the check in and check out process was simple and easy. Communications from owner and property manager was fabulous. Will definitely be back and would stay here again!!!

Steps from Bari Reef and great local restaurants.

Quiet, cozy, ground floor. Large screened porch with ocean view. Glass doors that can be opened up from living room and bedroom to porch. Just steps away from dive shop, gear room, air fills. Dive Bari Reef right off the dock! Sand Dollar Resort has the longest stretch of ocean frontage on the island. Breezes & Bites is right next door. Their talented chef offers wonderful food and one of the best rib eye steaks I’ve had annywhere. Walking distance to a number of shops, including drug store, icecream shop, gifts, and several other great restaurants. This condo has been our favorite spot to stay the last several times we’ve been to the island.

Great View

We enjoyed the space this condo provides. The furnishings in the bedroom are nice but the mattress is due for replacement. The wall hangings could use improvements like some fish photos, for example. We loved hanging out on the screened porch and watching the sunsets, swimming, diving and snorkeling in front of the Sand Dollar condo grounds. We had an issue with the WiFi when we first arrived and had to reset the router 2 times but after the last reset it worked fine. We have stayed on the second floor of the A building previous to this visit and the compressor from the dive shop was rather loud. My partner and I were quite surprised that it was quieter in A1 than on the second floor. In fact, the week we stayed at Sand Dollar was wonderfully quiet. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Great for serious divers

The location is amazing. Wake up to a beautiful ocean view from bed. Best sunsets right from the unit or just a short walk out to the seating area at the seawall. So convenient to Dive Friends next door for shore dive launching point or boat dives from the dock right there. We spent 2 weeks here and felt very comfortable. The unit itself, yes it is dated. Mostly looks original. Everything worked great though. We had every utensil and item we needed. The bedroom and living room have nice decor. It had had some painting etc done to keep it cozy and tropical feeling. The price is quite nice too! Compared to similar properties/locations- can't really beat it. Pierre was excellent and made check-in/out very easy. Thank you!

Best location for ease of access to diving, restaurants, etc.

We've stayed in A1 many times. Love the location, view, ease of access to dive gear, dock, etc. Check in was easy. They've done some updates this past year, and the kitchen is well laid out and functional. Bathroom has new sink and cabinetry combo, and shower now has partial glass wall, so no more shower curtain! The property manager communicates promptly and takes care of anything that needs addressed in a very timely manner, and is helpful and personable. WiFi worked great. We rented a truck for the 2 weeks, and can park close to the building.Our granddaughter completed her junior dive certification with Dive Friends, and had a positive experience.

Great location! But needs a bit of TLC

The location was perfect right next to the dive center and the diving pier. The condo needs renovation and more space for storage. We kept our clothes in our luggage as there was no storage for them. Everything worked properly (air conditioning, fridge and other appliances). The manager answered our text messages very quickly. We would go back anytime

A little rundown

We only stayed one night because when we came back from dinner there were two giant cockroaches. Not a great value for the $. No swimming pool, no closet to hang clothes and only a tiny wicker four drawer dresser that would not have held all of our clothes. The location was great, but we just didn’t want to deal with cockroaches
