We went to Pulcinella on the recommendation of a friend. We had a great meal. The spaghetti puttanesca was the equal of any that I've eaten in San Francisco's North Beach. The owner/chef and his wife are down to earth people, and the children are adorable.
When we visited the restaurant at 20h00 it was empty apart from the Italian owner, his Mexican wife and their five children, all girls. Triplets and twins!!
Who knew we would enjoy one of the top 2 pizzas we have ever had the pleasure of eating in Morelia!! The gregarious chef is from Naples, and he knows his pizza. His charming wife from Mexico served us and three of their 5 daughters brought us the bill. We were utterly charmed by this hard working family. We shared a huge salad and a pizza that came in two sizes. All was delicious and it was so affordable. We couldn't get enough of the herb infused olive oil that we sprinkled on the pizza. Our only regret was this was our last meal in Morelia. Our friends that recommended the restaurant told us the pasta they ordered was delicious too. Go and support this family your tummy with be happy!!
I know the owners and the are so kind, the attention is very good. The restaurant is a house from downtown very good decorated with Italian stuff. And of course the food is delicious. You can enjoy it because the owner "Massimo" is from that country. If you visit Morelia Michoacán don't forget going to that place!!!
Very much enjoyed our pizza lunch at this simple and quaint family restaurant. The menu is extensive, and our pizza vegetariana was top notch...we do not hesitate to recommend.

What always in my thought is to stay over at Golden Flower Hotel whenever i go to Bandung since my first experience last couple months ago. Unfortunately, the words "full booked' always got me most of the time i called this hotel for room booking. My last visit to Bandung was this first week of August 2011, and my plan was to stay over 1 night at this hotel. From a small discussion with its excellence front officers about the room type and availability, i got my superior room for my self. Two thumbs up for the professionally hospitality given from them. The room design, facilities and housekeeping were excellence except for LAN internet cable, wireless would be better. Foods for breakfast were excellence taste and variates,also two thumbs up for the cooks. I had my time at the pool and sauna at the 5th floor, such a relaxing time and good service from the pool, sauna and fitness facility keeper. After a great stay over at this hotel, i thought i should change my plan not to step out and extend more nights instead of just one night at this hotel. Overall, it was an enjoyable and pleasure experience to stay over 3 nights this time at Golden Flower Hotel Bandung with its services. For sure, i will be back for next trip to Bandung. -Cheers-

I was put to a deluxe room this time and the room is so spacious with modern design and the bathroom was also nicely done plus with an internet connection just makes you want to extend your stay longer.

Description: The Causeway Restaurant & Bar is conveniently close to the Boston's TD Garden and North Station. It is Boston's finest Barbeque restaurant, serving award-wining brisket chilly and other BBQ specialties. Its BBQ is prepared on the premises in a J&R smoker from fresh ingredients by highly experienced chefs. The full menu is served daily from 11:30am until 10pm. The bar is open until 2am. The second floor may be booked for private events.
I recently ate here with friends when we ended up by the Garden. The sangria was delicious and I also enjoyed a pulled pork burrito that was grilled and full of flavor. The menu had a lot of BBQ items and were all reasonably priced. We were there during a Celtics game and the place really filled up when the game ended. Parking garages available nearby.
The atmosphere and service was great. Busy but not overcrowded before a Celtics game. Had some issues with the food and drink. A positive was the size of the Nachos appetizer. Made it a challenge to finish the entree. Ordered the pulled pork platter and I know that it was described as having vinegar in it, but the vinegar flavor was overwhelming. Plus the pork was dry. We had 2 of the same mixed drinks but their quality - flavor and amount of alcohol was different. A very limited menu as well. We were still working on the appetizer when the entrees came out. I would go back for apps and beers considering their proximity to the Garden
Popped in to catch the UFC fight - atmosphere was excellent, everyone was really friendly and the prices weren't bad.
I managed to forget my sweater, emailed the bar and they got back to me to let me know that they'd keep it for me. I shlepped the whole way there (slightly hungover and jetlagged) the following afternoon to find that Tim was as good as his word.
Went here before the Bruins game for a drink and a snack. Excellent chicken wings and a nice beer selection. Busy and noisy with great service which is perfect before the game. Great place in the new face of North Station
We were looking for a convenient location to have dinner after buying our tickets and before a game. This was recommended as "the place to go"! We found the recommendations were correct - quick and friendly service, huge amounts of tasty food, the menu offered a good choice, prices were very reasonable and it was located just across the street from the Gardens! How convenient!

Dined here last night.. we booked at table online 30 minutes before arriving and it was ready for us upon arrival.
The food was fantastic, we had crostini to share, a pizza & seafood pasta all washed down with a lovely bottle of Barbera d alba.
The only small criticism about the food was "grandmothers tiramisu" was a little soggy/watery at the bottom.
We rented an apartment for 4 persons on the top floor in August 2016 and were very pleased. The rooms were very clean and cleaned every day. We enjoyed a lot the large private balcony with a view on the countryside. Sophia, the landlady, was always very helpful and smiling. Fresh bread, eggs, and water bottles were delivered directly to the apartments every day. We stayed for 9 days and wished we could have stayed longer.
The apartments are run by Sophia who is always helpful , making our stay enjoyable and stress free which is exactly what we want.
Sophia runs this apartments for rent located just outside the centre of the village of Matala. The apartments (we have changed room twice because we decided to stay longer) are all new, well equipped, clean, nice refurbished and believe it's not easy to find a place so professionally run. Once you get in you can be sure you don't need anything...just look for what you need you'll find it...and the rooms are cleaned every single day even if these are apartments. Sophia is nice, sweet and of great help. Stay here when in Matala and you will come back.
My wife,14yr-old daughter and I totally loved our time at Xenophon apartments. We had a top floor apartment (2nd floor) which was spacious, well equipped and the balcony was like having our own taverna - large area with clothed table and ample beer + wine on tap from the kitchen! Great view over the nearby mountains too. A 10 minute walk to the centre of Matala meant we were also away from any noise late at night but Matala on the whole is not a nightclubbers resort anyway. The hippy feel still prevails today.
Everyone working at Xenophon was friendly and the free wi-fi, mozzie devices, books, help on places to visit etc was over and above what we normally experience in Crete. First Class!
Room Tip: The 2nd (highest) floor seems to have more spacious & private balconies if you are not too keen with interacting with your temporary neighbours,
We would recommend this accommodation to anyone. They are clean, well equipped, have free air-con, free safety deposit boxes in the room, free wi-fi and the apartments have nice decorative touches to make them more personal than the usual 'sterile' apartments. There are also little things that are appreciated like a mosquito plug and pads, candle holders and a welcoming email from Sophia, the lovely lady who has these apartments. It informed us of reception opening times and our room number if we arrived when reception was closed. She has a baby so works in the morning but supplies her mobile number if she's needed. All in all a fab accommodation which we wouldn't hesitate to go back to.
Arrived in Matala by bus. Nobody in reception at apartments when we arrived (there was never anybody at reception). This however wasn't an issue. Owner lived locally and dropped by occasionally (mobile number available at reception). Everything was included including locked safe, air-conditioning, well-equipped kitchen and a welcome-pack. A cleaner called every day. This apt suited our needs perfectly as we spent all our time at the beaches and in town and stayed in a couple of nights and cooked. Didn't think the 300 metres to the beach would be an issue but on the very hot days would have preferred a shorter walk or an apartment with a pool. Great value apartments and we will return.

We chose IDIC Open Water Diving Course, tutored by Jun. It was definitely very interesting. Theoretically we learned Diving Equipment, Diving Physics and Diving Medicine and did practically 6 dives. Jun was very helpful, caring and patient with 20 years experience. Everyone is professional. The dive center has very nice layout and clean. The last 2 dives we've got the chance to do fun diving with other divers by boat. Would highly recommend Blue Abyss and Jun to everyone!
All reviews years experience dive shop pros and cons sardines fun diving excellent diving frog fish via email the owner shrimp gary boat resort reef equipment customers shore
I am a novice open water diver with only a handful of dives to my name, completed around the same time I achieved my PADI certification 6 months ago. As such, I thought I’d remember everything but found I was a bit rusty when trying to hook up my equipment. Not one single word of help, or encouragement was offered, instead the dive master questioned where did I achieved my open water and huffed and left me to it again. This made my shrinking confidence pretty much hit rock bottom. There were two dive groups on the boat, although I never new this until we were just about to jump into the water. I was never introduced to my dive master. Absolutely no talk from either dive masters on route to dive site, no pre planning of dive. No introduction to anyone. No buddying up. Literally no talking by anyone at all. I cannot convey enough how moody the dive masters were. I ended up staying on the boat as I didn’t feel I could dive with this outfit. Completely horrid experience!
Like a recent reviewer I'd agree that this dive shop is OK for more experienced divers but would not be so great for beginners.
My initial impression was good, I'd emailed in advance and not only did they reply (a few other dive shops in Moalboal didn't even bother), but they were able to set up the dive sites I had requested. On arriving in Moalboal I went in to confirm and the owner seemed friendly and welcoming.
After that it went downhill... The following day I showed up to dive and the staff seemed annoyed to have to stop chatting and get paperwork and equipment for me. At no point did any of the staff bother introducing themselves, I actually had to ask around to see who was going to be my guide for the dives.
I wasn't asked for proof of certification by the staff, and only when we were in the water about to descend did the guide ask me my certification level, even though it was on my paperwork earlier.
Dive briefings were very brief, and consisted of nothing more than quoting a maximum depth. The guide was actually pretty good underwater and spotted some good stuff, the dives themselves were both good.
Upon returning to the shop I was told by another disinterested staff member to come back in an hour or so to pay as no one was available to do it at the time.
As someone who runs a dive shop myself I think some attention to detail by the owner would make a big difference to the overall experience.
Stayed at the Blue Abyss resort for five nights with a friend that had never dived before and was keen to do the IDIC open water course. The diving school were extremely accommodating to our differing needs, allowing my friend to complete his course with Gary whilst I did a 10 dive package with the rest of the more advanced divers. They were flexible in the cost of the accommodation and gave us a great deal to be able to share a room for the five nights.
The accommodation was comfortable, immaculately clean and had nice hot showers and storage facilities. The grounds that the accommodation was set in is beautiful, and the food from the restaurant was an experience in itself. The chefs are clearly highly trained and the food would not be out of place in a high end western restaurant. The restaurant/resort is run by a lovely family who are very attentive, funny and kind. It's got an extremely homely feel to it.
The entire dive school and operation is a well oiled machine and runs like clockwork. Klemens is clearly an excellent manager, and the dive school manages to have an extremely laid back feel without compromising on safety. On my 10 dive package they were very flexible with dive sites, allowing me to get out to PESCADOR island and also dive the famous sardine run. JUN was our dive leader and he is an exceptionally good diver, and a macro expert able to point out macro life the the untrained eye would never find (we saw a harlequin ghost pipefish). Jun has been driving over 20 years with 10,000+ dives, but he has no ego and is extremely patient and accommodating to his dive group of varying abilities. It was a pleasure diving with him
My friend also spoke extremely highly of Gary as an instructor for the openw water course. Gary speaks almost perfect English, has a good sense of humour, and made sure my friend never once felt uncomfortable in the water.
All in all it was a highly memorable 5 days and I would recommend Blue Abyss highly to anyone that wants to experience the amazing diving Moalboal has to offer.
Thinking hard if I should write this. There are pros and cons. And definitely things that can be worked on.
•They are honest, booked room and dives via email. Based on trust. They didn't asked for any deposit. And total trust you to arrive.
• Booked 5 boat dives, however they sent the boat for inspection on the 2nd day. And they did charged us slightly lesser ft the 5 dives package we booked.
• Making sure the group stays together. Like it or not, there's always amutures or individuals that's prefer to take the pace slow.
- I had a beginner in tow with me. After the first dive, I gave up trying to catch up with the group. And did our own safety stops for the rest of the dives.
•Being the experts of the dive sites, We would appreciate if the guide could show us more stuffs. Thoughout the few dives, the only thing we were pointed to one time was an octopus.
- Been diving for more than 10 years, I have seen really enthusiastic guides that shows you everything with excitement.
Ps* They have Harlequin Shrimps at house reef. Which was spotted by customers. That they didn't even know about it.
Pro: nice and friendly staff, good equipment ( my wetsuit was nearly new and the best I’d ever rented ).
Cons: high repetition on dive spots. I think they went 4x a week to pescador even they offer different ones. What really annoyed me was how I felt treated when I refused to make a course. I don’t name anyone but my personal opinion was that after I refused the course I was not treated that nice anymore.
I did 2 dives with a guide named Jun. My god-that guy is almost a fish,he has so much experience and patience to show every interesting thing we saw under water. He even took with him a plastic tablet and a pen in order to write the name of the fish we were seeing. What a great experience. If you are coming to dive at mualboal abyss is the place
Really good and professional dive shop. Well equipped. We really enjoyed dives with Jun, calm and patient diver. Very beautiful dive sites, we saw many frog fish and turtles. Great reef:)
Friendly and helpful staff. Excellent diving. Domestic reef is beautiful. Turtles everywhere. Discovered a lot of new underwater animals. The restaurant has delicious food. The hotel is very good and is close to the diving center
I went diving with Blue Abyss for two days, and had a wonderful experience. I don’t dive regularly so I needed help setting up my gear and getting back into diving mode. George was a patient and attentive dive master who coached me through the dive, until I felt confident on my own. Jun was always there to help and answer questions. The equipment was in good shape, the prices reasonable, and the dives were fantastic. I highly recommend Blue Abyss, and both George and Jun, for a great dive experience in Moalboal.
Dived with Blue Abyss and the experience was amazing. Excellent service and the staff were all very accommodating and helpful. Was 1.5 years since my last dive however they were so patient with teaching me and made sure I felt assured by assisting me and giving me tips throughout the 2 days of diving with them. Ask for Gary if you need a good dive guide :-)
