BlueHill Dive Resort Tulamben

On first impression, Bluehill is a lovely resort set in a beautiful garden complete with Koi ponds with water-lilies and lotuses. The flowering shrubs attract varieties of butterflies and the 25m pool is gorgeously set within the garden. Enter the room and the impression changes. The rooms are dark and musty with worn furniture and finishings. The ensuite bathroom is large but has a mouldy feel and there are stains on the white bath towels. The restaurant food is barely palatable and the staff, though polite, do not come across as having received training beyond taking customer orders. They had difficulty understanding requests for condiments that are not part of the dish. Although the staff at Bluehill is polite and pleasant, the poor facilities maintenance and inadequate staff training/supervision have let down an otherwise promising resort setting.
