What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Dining Experience

During my stay in August 2024, I thoroughly enjoyed the diverse menu offered at the resort's restaurant. The staff was attentive and always ensured I was satisfied with my meals. I particularly loved the 2016 Argentinian Malbec that was both excellent and reasonably priced, a pleasant surprise for a dive resort. The alfresco dining with the stunning views of the Bay from the terrace added a good touch to my meals.

Cozy and Comfortable Room

I stayed in the main building in September 2024, and my room was quite cozy and well-equipped. It had air conditioning, a large safe box, and coffee/tea making facilities which made my stay comfortable. I appreciated the desk space which was perfect for me to work on my diving photos. Plus, the internet connection worked sufficiently for my needs.

Amazing Diving Experience

I went diving daily during my visit in July 2024, and it was a fantastic experience. The diving facilities at the resort were equipped with everything a diver needs. I particularly enjoyed the coral wall dives around Limasawa Island where I encountered a myriad of vibrant marine life. The dive guides were knowledgeable and ensured a safe and enjoyable experience.

Relaxing Private Beach

In June 2024, I spent some time relaxing on the resort's private beach, and it was truly a serene escape. The beach was clean, with soft coral sand and clear waters. I loved that it was secluded, making it perfect for unwinding after diving. There were shaded picnic areas that provided an idyllic setting for a beach day.

I had a wonderful time at this resort, especially enjoying the snorkeling experience and the clean, comfortable rooms. The staff was incredibly helpful, which made my stay memorable.
