I dove with Costa Rica Dive and Surf, which left from their office in Uvita. The dive equipment was in great shape and they had multiple dive masters with us. The Cano Island dive it a sandy bottom, easy, 60 foot dive, with light to medium currents. I didn't see a ton of great stuff, but this school of fish was worth it in itself. 

The trip includes two dives, an island trip, snacks, lunch, all your equipment rentals, etc. $175 per person for the day. Expensive, but supposed to be one of the best dive sites in CR, so worth it if you're in the area.

The place is really nice, there are no dinning or restaurant options on the hotel but you can order breakfast. The only negative aspect I can tell is that there was an odor coming out of the bathroom that sometimes was bad.

This place is about activities - whale watching, treking, snorkling. There isn't much to do during the day if you're not doing an activity - as nobody really spends time on the beach. But it has a lovely, friendly vibe & I'd definitely return.
