Amazing Dive Resort!

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Apr 20, 2023
I had an unbelievable experience at Arkipelago Divers Resort. I'm a new diver and wanted to get a lot of dives under my belt. Over two weeks, I was able go on 42 dives. I got to experience wrecks, shallow reefs, deep canyons, and muck dives. The best thing about it is that all the dive sites are within a 5 minute boat ride. The dive masters are very experienced and always made sure that I was comfortable. The diversity of marine life is incredible and I saw something new on almost every dive. All the staff are wonderful and Amy went above and beyond to make my stay memorable. She even sourced a hard drive for me and also got it to me when I forgot it at the resort (thanks again Amy!). The rooms are clean and the food is tasty and so convenient with everything right at the resort. I will certainly come back and stay again.

    Arkipelago Beach Resort is all about the people. Their staff is one of the friendliest & competent that you would come across in the industry, and it is these very people that make me go back again & again & again.

    The resort is exactly what they sell themselves as, a No-BS, Value for Money, Comfortable, Homely Dive Resort to stay at. A place for scuba divers to chill at and unwind after their day out at the ocean.

    Rooms vary from the basic standard rooms right upto a mildly luxurious duplex villa with a stunning view of the ocean. All rooms come with the essentials for a Scuba Diver like me - clean bed & linen, hot shower, good aircon. They have a restaurant with an ever-evolving menu primarily focussed on Chinese, Filipino & a mix of European & American dishes. The menu is varied enough to cater to the ever-demanding taste-buds of the hungry diver & otherwise.

    Add to this, a wonderfully equipped & staffed dive shop, Arkipelago Divers, Arkipelago Beach Resort is your go to place of stay when in Puerto Galera for Scuba Diving.

    What a real gem! I have had the pleasure of staying with Arkipelago and by all means, this is one of my favorite places. I truly love the attention and impeccable service given by their staff and management. Attention to detail is a norm here and Amy is always able and willing to make your request happen. Between Amy and Pedro, you can be assured of a wonderful and exciting stay like we have had!

    Whether you are an experienced diver or beginner like me, Pedro (with 28 years of experience) will insure you enter the water comfortably and confidently. It will be a total blast! Of course Amy has a whole slew of other exciting adventures waiting for those not inclined to get in the water (like my little one).

    Really, the accommodations and services provide are wonderful but, my favorite part is the awesome food and drinks! All of the food is homemade and the best part is you can make requests (like a good BBQ steak). Definitely try the beverages on any of the three decks, just can’t beat an evening drink on one of the decks with great company while watching the sunset or kids playing in the beach!

    Obviously, I definitely recommend this awesome place! Try it yourself!!!!!

    Looking for a place to relax or want to take a short holiday from busy Manila? Go to Puerto Galera, stay and dive with Arkipelago Beach Resort. You will be impressed with the Service of the Resort especially the Managers; Mr Pedro & Ms Amy Magsino. The resort are clean, room are spacious. A simple resort yet make you feel at home. Want to have a stress free holiday, experience your holiday with Arkipelago Beach Resort, you will not regret! Had fun & relax Holy Week in Puerto Galera. Do avail the Private Taxi, it takes you only 40mins to d resort rather than the 2hours boat ride. The resort is able to organise the transfer.

    Room tip: They have rooms walking few steps is the swimming pool

    My wife and I went there with friends last Nov 6-8. Extended our stay up to Nov 9 due to a mild typhoon. We're going back and bringing with us more friends to do their PADI Open Water Course there on Dec 18-21.

    Basically, it was a breeze. Amy and the entire Arkipelago team were very accommodating. They took care of everything, from our travel needs (getting tested, water taxi, etc.) to, especially, our diving needs.

    During our stay, their restaurant was still adjusting to the new normal created by the pandemic -- reduced manpower. However, that did not deter from the exceptional food they served.

    Other features you might find helpful are as follows:
    - the water pressure is amazing and the hot water was consistent
    - there's wifi in the establishment, though I did not have the chance to use, but the LTE was quite fast
    - the air conditioning in the rooms was surprisingly cool
    - the divemasters were fun and professional
    - it's absolutely safe as everyone is tested before setting foot to the establishment

    Just relax and have fun!
