Sangat Island Dive Resort is an eco style dive resort situated on the Coron Bay area of Northern Palawan. Sangat Island is one of the few limestone islands in the Calamian group and is quite unique because it not only offers outstanding white beaches it also has mangroves, excellent dive sites, hot springs and dense jungle forest providing the perfect environment to an array of marine life, fauna and flora that cannot be found in other parts of the Philippine Islands. Other activities involved are island hopping, sailing, jet skiing and kayaking. We are extremely passionate about conserving the environment and therefore run on solar and make water through desalination. One of the best kept secrets of eco-conscious paradise-seekers and scuba diving enthusiasts from all over the globe.

Diving: what is not to love about the close proximity to the wrecks. The onsite dive and support team, managed by Tom, were excellent. We also enjoyed shore diving the house reef, particularly for night dives. The location: beautiful natural surroundings and cheeky monkeys. The hotel property: all the buildings were simple, elegant and designed to compliment the natural environment. We particularly loved the hammocks underneath our bungalow which were perfect for a post diving reading/napping session. Food and drink: authentic Filipino food. We thought the meals were delicious and varied with most including a meat dish, a fish/seafood dish and a vegetable dish. Depending on the number of guests, meals were either served to your table or presented as a buffet. We also loved the cocktails... The staff also took note that hungry divers appreciate a snack between the 1st and 2nd dives which was the only thing we thought was missing. Hospitality: relaxed island vibes. All the staff were kind and welcoming. We also enjoyed chit-chatting with fellow guests over drinks. We recommend and would love to return.…

Layed back no fuss paradise island with beautiful house reef and multiple dive sites in easy reach. We loved the wreck dives, coral garden and night dive and the dive crew was amazing! Met some lovely people. Can’t wait to return! Special thanks to our dive guides Josh and Lynn for an amazing time underwater, Tom for his ever witty and chilled attitude to life, Ester for her donuts and everyone else who made us feel welcome.

Wow, the staff took such good care of us during our stay (special shout-out to Esther!). I was running out of sunscreen and they were able to have someone get some for me on one of the boat trips to town. I don’t take stuff like that for granted and it’s emblematic of our stay. The bungalow was perfect, with hammocks below. We spent plenty of time lounging in the beachside chairs as well. We did a dive trip to a sunken ship (it was intro level as we are not certified) and island hopping. All was super easy to organize. Of course we also had happy hour on rock island every day. We probably had 5 million mango daiquiris (and the bartender james knew what order was incoming when he saw us). The food was good and plentiful! Plenty of veggies and varieties of meat options at each meal. My husband also arranged for a private dinner for us on the top of the rock island. I think it was 5 courses. They were delicious and I felt bad that I could finish it all because I got so full! It was very special. Finally, they really went out of their way to ensure we made it to our next tour at the end of our stay when the other tour company kept switching things on us, the staff at Sangat made us feel like no matter what, they had our backs and it would be fine. Thank you!…

Dear Anne, Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that Esther and the rest of our team took excellent care of you during your stay. It warms our hearts to know that the small gestures, like arranging sunscreen on the boat trip, added to the enjoyment of your experience. We're delighted you enjoyed your time in the bungalow, and it sounds like you made the most of the beach, the wreck diving, the island hopping, and James' mango daiquiris. They are the best! We're so glad that the private dinner on top of the rock bar was also a highlight of your trip. Ensuring a seamless transition to your next tour was our pleasure. We're here to make your stay memorable, no matter the challenges. Thank you for choosing Sangat Island Dive Resort, and we hope to welcome you back for more unforgettable experiences in the future! Warm regards, Tania Pownall Resort General Manager

From the beginning to the end our stay was fantastic. Transfers are perfectly organised and adjusted to your schedule. Beach house are simple, well maintained and the view is incredible. The food is again simple but so tasty and varies from time to time. Very delicious and a pleasure at every meal. Staff is always smiling and very professional but the best is their kindness. Not so many people we really felt like on a private island. Diving center is the icing on the cake. Fantastic dive sites are maximum 10min from the hotel. It gives a lot of flexibility to organise your dives during your stay. Thanks to Tom the dive manager who was always accommodating ours requests. 4 days in paradise, we will come back

We had a wonderful four days in what is close to paradise. This is a small resort on a stunning beach and has a house party atmosphere. Meals are healthy and delicious- they may be a little simple given the price point but this is a private island 45 mins from town and supply chains are still readjusting post lockdown. Our room was spacious and right on the water, we didn’t have aircon but the breeze and ceiling fan kept us happy. There are monkeys roaming and an abundant house reef to snorkel from. You will need water shows but the resort will supply these free of charge together with snorkelling equipment if you don’t have your own. There is also a private hot spring about 30mins paddle away hidden in the mangroves which is a must do. The diving was excellent, Tom and team really looked after us. I did my advanced open water and my wife a DSD ( on the last day 🤣 and then said she enjoyed it). If you are not a diver do give it a go as the team and so patient with novices. My highlights were the Olympia wreck dive and an amazing night dive. What is special here is that dives are tailored around you rather than fitting into a one size fits all. Both of us had 1-1 tuition which I haven’t experienced before. For Brits if a certain age, you will remember the Bounty advert - while there were no coconut chocolate bars, this really was a taste of paradise.…

Awesome experience from the food, the accomodations, the staff, and the diving. Enjoyed the resort in its entirety. Highly recommend if you are looking to just relax and dive multiple peices of history. All the wrecks are close to the resort. Great place to learn how to dive or do your padi wreck diving course.
