Cabilao Sanctuary Dive Resort was developed by Divers for Divers right in front of the Visayas' #1 dive spot for coral life and marine biodiversity. We offer a wide range of outdoor activities and comfortable bungalows in a quiet, peaceful and remote environment, far from any busy life. We dive all year long, 3 to 4 times per day and can provide you with top of the line well maintained dive equipment. Non certified divers starting 8 years old can enjoy the wonder of our underwater world with our Discover Scuba Diving signature program that allows you to dive multiple times under the supervision of our professional dive team. Booking made directly through us enjoy a 15% automatic discount on room rates. Coming to Cabilao is easy from Bohol. Simply take a ride from anywhere in Bohol to Sandigan Island Pier (Mocpoc) and then ask a local Banca boat to bring you directly to Cabilao Sanctuary Resort anytime from 6am to 6pm.
If you're looking for a real getaway break on a desert island, this is it. Lovely resort and well equipped pool area, right on the beach.
Took a bit of travelling to but we liked the remoteness. Diving on your doorstep, though some of the reef was damaged in a typhoon last year. Staff very friendly, well-trained and can't do enough for you. Food and wine options good, not expensive and hearty portions.
Accomodation in charming thatched huts with terrace area. Unfortunately let down by very small beds and no proper bedding, just a polyester throw which didn't cover both of us and you sweat under. Would also have very much apprecciated tea and coffee and a fridge in the rooms so overall could have been better value for money.
Overall very peaceful and great stay.

My wife and I spent 4 days here. This is as good as it gets. Lazy days total relaxation in a beautiful place. The resort had a fabulous beach location. The pool for all practical purposes is on the beach. The restaurant is open air and open deck and is also on the beach. Great views regardless what you are doing. The food here is excellent. Breakfast is great Dinner is great. The restaurant is open all day if you get hungry. The snorkeling in front of the resort is very nice. They have a full dive operation. We went snorkeling all 3 days on the boat. Just the boat captain and us. Each day he took us to a different great spot. Very spontaneous. About as laid back as you can imagine. The room is excellent . Big king size comfortable bed. Outside shower. Amazing. Great AC and we asked and received a floor fan. They say there is wifi only in the public areas but our wifi worked great in the room at all times. A nice bonus. They provide transportation to and from the island and are always there to help. The staff is excellent. They are as nice as they can be. As nice a place as anywhere we have stayed anywhere in the world. Thank you Liza, I've, Rose, and John John We will miss you.

Second stay in 4 years, we were received like friends by the staff. Extraordinary. The place is still pleasant if you come for diving and rest. The whole thing is very comfortable and the service is perfect. Of course it's a little expensive for the Philippines, but the services are worth the price. Finally, important clarification, the diving sites are varied and the guides know their job perfectly.

We only stayed at this hotel for 24 hours... But what an amazing stay! Staff is very helpful and friendly, food was awesome, the dive center provides a real professional service, the rooms are clean and nice, the massages are divine! Everything was perfect! The only thing we regret is that we had to leave so quick... We will definitely come back soon!

We were there for 5 nights and it was just great! The location, the water and the dive places are like in paradise. The diving store is just next to the hotel and you can decide spontaneously to dive or to relax at the pool. The staff is really fantastic! The treat you as part of a family! The rooms are also good and very clean. Highly recommend to go there when you are on the Philippines!

Right in front of this resort is one of the best place I have done snorkeling. Rooms are very clean. The staff are so courteous and friendly. Me, My Wife and two Kids (10 year old and 13 years old) really had a great time snorkeling. An overnight stay at this place is not enough, there are so much out there to enjoy. The resort is so peaceful and not crowded. The other guests during our stay are also very nice. Will definitely go back to this paradise in the future.

Wonderful hotel, very nice Suite and beautiful garden area with different zones to relax around the pool or under coconut trees. The staff is very attentive and helped with everything, from arrival to departure and in particular was very attentive to our baby, and provided babycot for the room and highseat in the restaurant. The restaurant has a delicious a la carte menu, far above the usual standard in the Philippines. Diving was great, very professional, safe and tailor-made to the needs of customers. The island is surrounded by beautiful reef walls down to a depth of 40-50 meters. Highly recommended!

Absolutely amazing hotel with attentive personnel, especially manager Antonia - she is wonderful, she can make your dreams come true:) Nice place for snorkeling, spa time is also recommended! And you have to try mango float in the restaurant - it's a must! ;)
