Great location. We didn't dive but did snorkle. The water is very accesable from the hotel. They have outdoor showers to rinse off after being in the water.
As a scuba diver CDH is a fantastic destination with a lovely property, folks that are actively doing things to help the reefs and wonderful staff. You will always feel welcome at Captain Dons!
Great place to stay, convenient, great restaurant / bar options, nice staff, and rooms were clean - the only issue I had was the bed was pretty hard, and we struggled finding parking inside the lot when they had an on-site event, although there's street parking as well.
My first time visiting Captain Don's and I can’t wait to go back. If you love diving whenever you want this is the place. The updated rooms are fantastic with good amenities and great housekeeping staff.
Captain Don’s truly is diving freedom and I can’t wait to go back.
The hotel was clean and in such a great area. Could snorkel right off the property and walk to some great restaurants, although they have a great one onsite too. Nice gift shop on site along with bar and restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner. No beach but we were there to snorkel. I wish I would have done more research as there are some other great snorkel sites I wish I could have gone to.
This was our third stay at Captain Don's, we loved it as much as the first time, in 1998. We were upgraded to the deluxe oceanfront suite, great view, large room. 2 pools at the resort. Staff helped us with car rental options after the place we reserved with had no cars. We enjoy being in the quieter area away from town. Having a car is needed if you want to explore the island (which you definitely should) but, if you don't have a car, there's a supermarket and some restaurants walkable to the resort. Onsite dining and bar at the resort as well. Bar bites and pizza on site in addition to the full restaurant. The reef to the right was good for snorkeling, plus 2 resident tarpon had out under the restaurant.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Very basic. Mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker. No dishes or cutlery. Restaurant on property only offers breakfast buffet daily. No option to order anything off a menu. 20$US
ROOMS are somewhat tired , bed frames were nicked, floor tiles had many “ divots”, housekeeping was good some days.
Diving and snorkeling are very good. Really is a divers destination

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Standard room is tight for two guests.
Not enough parking spaces on site.
Overall, staffs are friendly, though management must be improved.
Dive operations by minimum crews.
It is not bad, though wish to have extra safety pre-cautions especially on the dive boat.
Bar and restaurants are excellent in foods and services.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Stayed for a few days. On a beautiful bay. No beach but you could access the water to snorkel or swim from the dive shop dock. Room was adequate for a few days. It definitely is time for painting and upgrades. Shower leaked around glass. The foot had a 2” gap in one corner that allowed mosquitoes in. Easy access to pool and dining room. Dining was excellent. Great staff of waiters. Our air conditioner broke down the last night of our stay flooding the floor. The front desk gave us pool towels to lay on the floor. We were concerned about mixing water with the electrical as it appeared to drip through a light in the bathroom too.
No help from hotel staff when needing a buddy for freediving. Overall staff experience was very bad. Cleaning was not done even on days when I was all morning away from hotek until 14. Shame, because place has potential.
Swimming pool and rooms are nice on the new side. You can go swimming to the sea in front of hotel and do snorkeling a bit. City center and restaurants are quite far so better suited for guests with a car.
Habitat has the friendliest and most helpful staff. Between the hotel, dive shop and restaurant, everyone is accommodating for any request you may have. There is always a stack of fresh towels for the pool or diving. Convenient location for walking to off property restaurants if you don’t rent a car. Will definitely return to this hotel again.
