uitstekend!
Prachtige accomodatie met mooi uitzicht over het eiland en Mount Scenery. Wij zaten in een cottage en dat is een echte aanrader. In het verleden zou de keuken niet al te best zijn geweest, maar daar hebben wij niets van gemerkt: het eten was meer dan uitstekend. Ook de bar is trouwens erg gezellig en zeker niet duur. Duiktrips kun je boeken vanaf het resort en zijn uitstekend geregeld. Je hebt geen omkijken naar je duikspullen (wordt door het personeel na afloop keurig uitgehangen) en er zijn zeker bijzondere dingen te zien onder water. Zo hebben we o.a. verpleegster- en witpunthaaien gezien.
Tenslotte is het de moeite waard om het nabijgelegen Mount Scenery te beklimmen. Erg zwaar (zeker als het net heeft geregend i.v.m. de modder), maar wél een uitdaging.

Scouts Place op Saba is een eenvoudig maar goed hotel. De kamers zijn netjes en functioneel ingericht. De badkamer bevat alles wat het moet hebben, en alle kamers hebben uitzicht op zee. Bij het hotel zit een bar/restaurant waar volle drankjes en goed eten geleverd word voor een gewoon bedrag. Het hotel heeft een eigen duikschool (Saba Divers), welke de verschillende stekken rond het eiland aanbieden. Het hotel is midden in Windwardside gelegen. De pin automaat is tegenover het hotel, en het hotel bied gratis Wireless internet aan. In de buurt van het hotel beginnen verschillende wandelroutes, en ook de winkeltjes in Windwardside liggen op een minuut lopen van het hotel. Kortom een aanrader voor een lekkere vakantie op Saba.

Letter from PADI January 31, 2007 to Saba Divers
PADI recently received a very complimentary course evaluation questionnaire from Mr. John R. W., who completed a PADI Enriched Air Diver Course at your facility. John was very satisfied with the training received and also specifically mentioned the outstanding service provided by your staff.
Professional effort and dedication such as that described in this consumer's letter help to keep the PADI organization at the forefront of diver education and service. We would like to extend our appreciation to you and your staff for the fine job you are doing representing PADI.
Best wishes for continued success in all your diving activities.
Sincerely
Bill Hamm, Manager, PADI International Resort & Retailer Association
Letter from John to PADI
It was a great training experience. I have been diving for 25 years, and this course was consistent with the professionalism I would expect from PADI instructor and facility. The SABA DIVERS group really runs a top shelf operation, and I will be back to dive with them again.
Dear Barbara & Wolfgang
Thank you very much for the pleasant stay and your warm hospitality!.

Dear Barbara
My wife, Susan, and I want to express our thanks to you and your staff for making our recent stay on Saba so enjoyable. We had the opportunity to work in sightseeing, hiking, visiting some old friends, and meeting new ones.
Although Scout's Place has expanded over the years, I am glad to see that its charm and friendliness has not suffered. Thanks especially to your office staff, Bettina and Melanie, for their excellent recommendations, efficiency, and cheerful assistance! We are sure you know what a great asset they are.
Be assured we will recommend Scout's to our family and friends. With every good wish, I am yours sincerely
William F. Cissel, St. Croix, Caribbean US Virgin Islands June 28, 2007
Thanks again for the extraordinary vacation last weekend. I can't wait to come back. Your whole staff was very friendly and professional at all times. You made me feel like "one of the gang." It was sad to leave. Safety practices were subtlety abided by the dive staff. That is the sign of a successful dive operation.
I am going to send a present for you to present to Bob (Bob is our dive base leader, the editor) as a gift during the next Karaoke night. Don't tell him I sent it but I'm sure he will guess it is "gold" from Buffalo Billy. I hope to visit again...soon.

I can not begin to tell you how much I loved Scout's place. Before I arrived I had many questions. Literally within hours all of my questions were answered, making my trip to Saba quite enjoyable.
Once I arrived in Saba, the hotel staff were waiting for me. They helped me with my scuba gear and gave me a quick run-down of all the hotel amenities.
The dive operation affiliated with Scout's were beyond amazing. They were always on time and the instructors/dive masters were so nice. They went beyond to make sure every dive trip was as good or better then the last.
I have to say that the room was very clean and furnished very tastefully. I enjoyed the food at the restaurant and appreciated how close the hotel was to the little town.
I recommend Scout's 100 percent. I hope that this review is helpful to future travelers.
Dear Saba Divers
I’m writing just to say “Thanks Saba Divers” for the great experience diving with you all. On June 3, 2006 a small group of us dove with Bob and Mel and had a terrific time. They were both tremendously knowledgeable about both the topography of the dive sites as well as the marine life we would see. I felt very comfortable with the preparation and safety checks of our gear, the dive briefs, the professionalism, and very friendly attitudes of our hosts Bob and Marie. Again, I wanted to say thank you for a wonderful experience and I look forward to diving with you all again soon.
Cheers,

Letter to the General Manager
I would like to express my sincere thanks to you and all the staff at Scout's Place. The room was delightful and your staff presented the best profile that Scout's Place had to offer. I look forward to the opportunity to frequent Scout's Place again in the not too distant future, when I return to Saba, to visit family and meet with friends.
Once again my sincere thanks.

Dear Wolfgang & Barbara
A single word describes my experience on Saba - phenomenal. Saba is truly a unique place on the planet - I feel most fortunate to have the opportunity to visit you and your tiny island .
I thoroughly enjoyed my eight days of diving. My only regret is that I didn't plan to stay a bit longer.
Please give my fondest regards and thanks to your entire staff. Everyone help to make my stay a true pleasure. See you soon again ;-)
Best personal regards

Dear Scout's Place,
I just wanted to write you and tell you that all of us had an AMAZING time while at Scout's Place. The staff was wonderful in making sure we were taken care of while staying with you. Customer service was great from the minute we walked in the door to when Alexander dropped us off ate the airport. We have had some trouble finding places that have good customer service around the islands so we weren't sure what to do when the staff was so pleasant. Our dives were amazing and the dive masters were friendly and knowledgeable, which made our diving experience great. I have forwarded some information to our Dive Club president at the university. I told her how much fun we had and she wanted your email. We looking forward to come again and explore the great diving of Saba.
Please tell the staff thank you for being patient with such a large group and for being so customers service friendly.

Wolfgang & Eddie
Simone and I want to extent our deepest appreciation for your warm hospitality and care during our brief 2 day visit to the Scout. We have been diving throughout the Caribbean over the past 5-6 years and we both agree - Saba was one of the best diving experiences we have had. It also helps that the scenery, people and service was exceptional.
Wolfgang - Thanks for the VCD it will serve as a reminder of our stay.
Eddie - thank you for the safe navigation around the Island and great conversation.
Marco & Hester - thanks for the excellent dive site selection and keeping Simone cool and safe!
Keep the Carib's cold....we'll be back soon.
regards,

Hello Barbara, Wolfgang, Mike and Jessica
Jon and I wanted you to know what an absolute fantastic time we had during our nine nights and eight days diving in Saba. Your hospitality was wonderful. The diving was terrific. Everyone at Scout's Place and Saba Divers was helpful , kind, thoughtful and courteous. We appreciated that you went out of your way on numerous occasions to make our stay a perfect one. Saba is an incredible place and we hope to return many times. There is no one else we would even consider staying or diving with. Kudos to all of your staff. Thanks very much.

Dear Barbara, Wolfgang & all Staff
Franz and I could not have wished for a more perfect setting for our second honeymoon. In a way, I think we actually appreciated Saba more now than we would have 20 years ago. My hope is that we will return again someday to Saba and Scout's Place. It was a great pleasure to get to know not only Saba, but all of you as well after 12 days, many of you feel like family and we wish only the best to all of you in the future.
Sally and Franz Stenzel, Anderson, South Carolina, USA - January 2002
Hey Guys,
Even though we didn't do any diving (which I'm sure is quite impressive too), Saba left lasting impression with us. It's terrible we didn't make it all the way to the Mount Scenery, so we have a big reason to come back soon. Anyway, we had a good time on Saba and your hospitable hotel. See you again!

Barbara & Wolfgang and all the Staff at Scout's
A quick week out of the craziness of New York City. A little diving and a little relaxing. What I found was an abundance of both. The diving was excellent! and the hospitality overwhelming. The Staff on the boats and the hotel were wonderful. Keep up the great work because I will be back for another visit. Thank so much for everything! Deeply,
Theo Fiorillo, New York City - May 2002
Dear Barbara, Wolfgang & Staff
What a wonderful place! Thanks for your hospitality and great diving! We enjoyed Jeffrey's one-note singing & Jen's dancing. The BBQ night was great fun. All the food was good. We enjoyed meeting the dive guys' pretty girlfriends and the after hours cocktail party! The dive maniacs and Manta finders (sorry Jeffrey).
Melanie Baynton and Leo and Barb Wesley, Michigan & Colorado - May 2002
Just a short visit. Only 6 days but an unforgettable experience. Warm hospitality and not to mention the diving. This was superb. It was a great stay with you. Thanks for everything.
Rod & Hans (KLM Pilots) Holland - May 2002
Special thanks to all our many customers, employees, friends and family who helped us to rebuild Scout's Place and make Saba Divers a professional and well organized dive center. A very special thanks goes out to Felica, Siggi & Micheal Schoen from Germany for their support and encouragement.
