I always try to spend a few days in Placincia in order to get over the crazyness of AC.. I stay in town, Westwinds hotel. mostly because it is right on the beach and the owner George is a true piece of work and I mean that in a good way.There are plenty of others as well, just do a search. I have had plenty of good dives with Seahorse Dive Shop, but there are several others as well. There is only 1 dive shop that I would avoid and if you ask around you will know which one. If you are looking for wild partys,night life and dancing, be prepared to generate it yourself. The place is starting to really look up since the Hurricane all but wiped it out 3 years ago. Heve fun..
