They were really good when I got a severe stomach infection. Everything was clearly explained in English, and compared to private healthcare costs in my country, the price was a lot better than I was expecting.

Don't waste your time if your issue is something other than dive-related. Although they've tried to expand their medical services to capture the large tourist population, they are sorely lacking in facilities and knowledge. The doctor I met with could not answer any questions I had regarding an allergic reaction I was having, and I left feeling completely dissatisfied with my treatment and concerned that my issue wasn't properly addressed and treated.
