I rented a single room for 6 days. It was my treat to myself. There was virtually no one there as far as divers were concerned. Three days I had the resort to myself. Elmer was my dive master. He really took care of me since I am partially crippled . My friend Niko Santos stayed there for two dives. He is also a dive master. Every one was terrific helping me get dressed for my dives. The water was so warm that I did not need a suit. So much better diving there compared to Puerto Galera. I saw most of the critters on my bucket list here. Then there was the restaurant crew. They treated me like I was the Owner of the place. Now I am a very picky eater so some I did not or could not eat. Allergies to sea food. The one complaint I had was lack of desert. Another suggestion is to set up a small store that you could buy snacks.
It was expensive for me to dive as I was the only diver in the whole resort. The beds, ac where great. If you want quiet , this is the place for you. No phones, no TV, but the internet worked most of the time.

i just simply did some reading on tripadvisor then i made the reservation. It turned out to be a very good experience and i will go back one day. It is not a 5 stars resort with luxury room, fine crusine restaurant and 5-star services But i have no complaint at all. In the 6 days, we woke up with lovely sea view, nice breeze in the morning, then went diving with experience dive crews, eat, rest and sleep without worry at all. The dives were superb, equipments are in good condition, experience dive master and dive crew member; the dive master Choi has really sharp eye sights that he could easily spot very tiny macro like 3,4 mm nudibranch, stone liked juvenile scorpion fish (less than 1.5 cm), rare species juvenile frog fish. The only downside (but we see it as upside), there is some distance from the popular dive sites like secret bay, layag-layag... but the furthest boat trip is still within an hour, better than squeezing with big group of divers, more over, there are good dive sites around the resort. Will definitely come back here again, 6 days were just too short.

I stayed at thie resort in Aril. 2014. It was lovely resort to relax before and after diving.I stayed at seaview studio room and it was cozy and clean. Located in isolated side of island, karaoke or drunken tourists didn't bother me. All resort and diving stuff were very nice and friendly with smile. And scubadiving was AWESOME!! Divemaster knew the spots well and showed me wanderful marine life. When it came to food, it was not my taste. There were a few selection of buffet style including pasta, rice, deep fried fish and desert.I am not picky but those food didin't appeal to me. But other guests seemed to enjoy their meal so it depends on what you like, I guess. It would be nice to eat out at other restaurant at least one time during staying but as I said, it's isolated and you need to boat to go other place.If food would be changed,I would love to go back this resort.
