Meals:
First about the Staff : I must say I have rarely experienced such great and so friendly, helpful and often laughing Staff.
The buffet has an excellent mix of European and Oriental cuisine - very varied even for vegetarians.
In addition to the extensive buffet, there were additional outdoor grills, where sometimes chicken, sometimes fish, sometimes meat, sometimes Köfte were freshly laid out. At another place a Bedouin sat, prepared fresh pita bread and filled it differently - a kind of Egyptian Kebab. At another cooking station, pasta varieties were freshly prepared and served. For breakfast fresh crepes or omelet or fried eggs - all next to mueslis, cerials or vegetables - what more could you want! Conclusion: Best!
Accommodation: Overall clean and up to the usual standard. In the bathroom and on the furniture just slight signs of wear, yes, there you can see just something the annual wear, but it is much restored or even "revised". I think you have to leave the church in the village - with the overall great price!
Interim conclusion Brayka Bay Resort: The price-performance ratio is really excellent in my opinion.
Diving: Coraya Divers or Brayka Divers is a very well equipped base with German and English speaking staff. All are extremely informative, helpful and friendly! The diving offer is extremely versatile and is presented on large walls. Clearly arranged in activities at the house reef (early morning, morning, afternoon, night), trips with the pick-up minibus (travel times, requirements, reef plans with sighting probabilities), with the speedboat (travel times, requirements, reef plans with sighting probabilities) and further tours with the speedboat (full day trips, requirements, reef plans with sighting probabilities). In addition always the information, whether also for pure snorkels the conditions fit and/or whether they are taken along. The selection is m.E. unusually diverse - that has surprised me exceedingly positive!!!
The rental equipment - I borrowed jacket, regulator and computer - is in very good condition and they helped me immediately also with trying on and checking and assigned me my box with lockable compartment. My request for "refresher explanations" has always been gladly met - I have not dived for a long time. So I felt well taken care of!.
Hausreef: I must say, the Brayka Bay surprised me more than positively. I didn't think that a house reef at a resort that offers relaxation to so many people is still in such TOP shape! Incredible how the coral sticks are still intact and full of life. I didn't expect to come across big turtles on the house reef, let alone big powerful eagle rays - and not just once! I would like to give a MORE THAN EXCELLENT RATING and RECOMMENDATION. The Bay alone - North and South - is worth seeing and diving several times for divers and snorkelers. I did two early morning dives and additional ones during the day because I didn't feel like I was bored right away or had to go somewhere else!
The pick-up trips are also recommended. I also like the fact that there are variants to do only 1 dive and be back at noon - so to drive "briefly" for half an hour or 45 minutes maximum and then enter a bay from shore. Super organized, good briefing - you know what to expect and how your dive path has to go!
Conclusion: Diving pleasure extremely high, staff and briefing wonderful, equipment well maintained - overall price-performance ratio very good!!! I recommend Coraya Divers!
