We have just returned from a 6 night stay at DiveGurus in the gorgeous Philippines and cannot recommend this hotel and its services highly enough. There were 4 of us staying; we booked one double room and one twin room. ...........If you are looking for a fabulous place to stay and for expert diving tuition/watersports; make sure you book here. The staff are all so friendly, helpful & happy: making you feel like you are at home and part of their family. (I had a bad cold when I arrived and the staff helped with fresh ginger and lemon & helping my Brother to fetch good medication from the mall). Staff go above and beyond expectations to make your stay fabulous. The rooms were immaculate and serviced properly, you return to a fresh smelling and clean/tidy room each day. There was also an abundance of fresh towels for the bathroom and the beach whenever you needed them.
I love that there is concern here for our planet & really great environmental awareness at DiveGurus.
I also loved the choices for breakfast, European, Philippine or American; so you never get bored of the same breakfast. There are main meals and snacks available all day; room service or sit in the lovely restaurant located in a rooftop position, (half covered/ half open so you can take your pick of outdoor dining & sunshine or shelter from the rain if it's rain season)! Location is on the beachfront, which is perfect for the diving activities they provide or swimming and snorkelling/ watersports. There are loads of restaurants & bars to visit and the best tasting Italian food I've tasted outside of Italy in the Restaurant next door. Thank you so very much DiveGurus. We will be back next year!

We stayed at Dive Gurus for our Boracay vacation. I was hesitant at first because of the reason that we are non divers. We arrived late that day, around 10:00pm. We were still given our welcome drinks by the staff. Stayed 3 nights, and I am very pleased with their service. Everyone was very nice and accommodating. Breakfast was served always on time. Towels are provided. If you need to change towels, just let them know and they're happy to provide you fresh towels. A staff even approached me if I wanted to have our room cleaned. What I really liked most about this hotel is the location. It's beachfront. Plus, away from the crowd of station 2. The only suggestion that I have is maybe they can add in a telephone to call the staff at the front so guests will not have to go out of the room every time. But, all in all this little hotel is amazing. We definitely loved our stay. Thank you, Dive Gurus.

Such a lovely place, in a beautiful location, right on the beach front of the White Veach, Boracay. The resort is clean and comfortable, with all the little details provided for, umbrellas/parasol, beach towels, personalized water flasks. Nothing is too much trouble for the friendly, helpful staff. We're so glad we came back! Highly recommended for a comfortable, relaxed happy stay, at a really good value price.

We had the most incredible experience with DiveGurus on Boracay, where we completed our Open Water course. From the very beginning, we felt safe and well-guided thanks to the professional and friendly team.
A special thanks goes to Joshua, who truly made the entire experience unforgettable. His calm and patient teaching style gave us confidence throughout the course, and his ability to explain everything clearly and simply meant we never felt overwhelmed. Joshua created a relaxed atmosphere while maintaining a strong focus on safety and thorough training.
My 11-year-old son was especially thrilled! Joshua had a unique ability to connect with him, making the learning process both fun and engaging.
Thanks Josh!

We found Dive Gurus and asked about free diving lessons. The process to book was quick and they were very helpful in explaining what the course would be like.
Dom was very friendly and patient and made us feel totally looked after and safe. He was able to guide us each through the process of diving.
We'd recommend anyone interested in diving to try them out.

✅ location. Although it’s at Station 3, I appreciate the view from the room the most. Best for work from home. Stayed for one night because the room booking was given to me by an Aunt. Appreciate the home vibe and the comfort. Parang asa bahay ako with a nice beach view. 🍲 you have the option to have your breakfast in your own room: following the IATF guidelines & because the weather was extremely windy. ❌ they don’t have an elevator going up to the rooms. So if you’re a person who needs help going up the stairs, please take note that they only have stair access going up.

For those who want to go to Boracay and searching for a free breakfast and affordable beach front hotel, I recommend you Divegurus which is located at station three. The rooms are always clean. Also, the staffs are very helpful, accommodating and their good vibes are really contagious. They have a roofbar and restaurant where dinner and sunset viewing could be spent nicely. Also never get rid on your list the scuba diving because Divegurus can give you the best experience. I took my Open water and Advance open water course there, the instructors and dive masters are very professionals. Over all their service was very satisfying. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We used Diving Gurus for scuba diving in Boracay and the service they provided was fantastic. I am not really a "water person." Although I have an Open Water divers certification, I had only been on four previous dives and that was with Diving Gurus 10 years ago. My wife, on the other hand, is an excellent swimmer and has much more diving experience than I do. I explained our situation to the people at Diving Gurus. They paired us with a dive master by the name of Khalid. He stayed with us throughout the six dives we made while in Boracay. He was an excellent master/guide and helped make the experience comfortable and enjoyable. With the exception of the last dive, Khalid, my wife, the boat operators, and I were the only ones on the dive boat. On the last dive there was an additional dive master who was performing PADI certification for a lady. As a result, the diving service provided by Diving Gurus was very personal, outstanding service. Khalid was wonderful. We could not have asked for a better diving experience than was offered by Diving Gurus. My wife and I have already made plans for a return trip to Boracay next year. We will certainly use Diving Gurus for our dives and will also try to make arrangements to stay at their hotel/guest room facilities while there.

Its been 11yrs since we get back to this place, although there was a big change, but still we love this place. located at station 3 and good for divers. we only stayed for a night because it was fully booked. despite a one night stay it was very comfortable and relaxing because you are away from the busy stations of 1 and 2. I love their new addition at the roof top. they serve good food and very reasonable as well. the staff is very friendly and accomodating. we will definitely stay at this place again in a heart beat. I always wanted to learn how to dive so next time we will definitely booked this place again. everything in one roof. you don't need to go somewhere to eat, because they serve breakfast as well. and again, the food is really good.
