I just got back from Utila today. Spent a week in another hotel and had terrible customer service and it was pricey! (for what ever it was really worth). Then I decided to check out this place. The rooms are simple yet comfortable. It has the friendliest staff you can get. Nice kosher bar to hang out and meet people from all around the globe. Great diving and really affordable prices. Me and my partner had a great time there. Hope to be back soon.

we read a lot of reviews prior to getting to Utila. we had noticed previous reviews here about running out of air but we stayed after we decided we liked the feel. No one ran out of air in fact we felt that safety was a priority here and we were often asked about our air during the dives.

our instructor sveta was very thorough and focused on safety. we felt that the air conditioning was a necessity and the air conditioned rooms were clean and well maintained though simple and a good value. We did an open water certificate as well as night dives and would recommend this dive shop/accomodations. also good food available for purchase at the bar--would recommend the french toast for breakfast.

underwater vision/hotel trudy's, made my travels. 10 months on the road - my stay at the best dive shop and venue on the island will stay with me the rest of my days. it is filled with confident and avid staff who embrace newcomers to the water and experienced divers. the staff are travellers from across the globe and their love for the water comes through in their teaching and demeanor. it is extremely lively, with a beautiful new dock where people gather to play music in the evenings and have a beer. friendly bar staff and a great volleyball court. if you go to utila....there really is no other place.

When I can to Utila I did what I always do. Look around for what seams to suit me best. Once I walked into Hotel Trudy I instantly got a good wibe, and it only got better.
I stayed in the hotel for 2 weeks and also did a fair share of diving. I took my PADI course and also the advanced course. The instructoros and divemasters I was diving with were very professional and there was always time for fun and games. I really want to point out that the safety procedures they follow with diving were impressive.
The hotel is very nice and clean and during the courses you are offered free accomodation in the dorms.
I will definitly come back and continue my diveeducation.
