Amazing, I'll be back soon~

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Apr 13, 2024
It seems too late to wrote a review of my January's trip in April. However, it's always in my to-do-list, cos the diving experience was amazing due to chosing this resort.

When I was planning to go diving in Anilao two weeks ago, a friend in Manila recommended this diving resort. I brought along three non-diver friends, and we spent a perfect two days together. Every aspect of the experience was fantastic, and I must share it here.

Firstly, the diving arrangements were excellent. With one diver and three non-divers, the diving resort made thoughtful diving plans for us. The diving master was experienced, provided detailed and patient explanations, and even took underwater photos for everyone, creating beautiful memories. The night diving experience for divers was also outstanding, thanks to the diving master. As a diver, I want to share that what sets this place apart from other diving resorts is the meticulous arrangement of having a dedicated area for each group of guests to store their equipment, especially suitable for those planning consecutive days of diving.

Next is the accommodation and food at the diving resort. Each room can accommodate four people, making it perfect for friends traveling together. The buffet at the diving resort deserves special praise. It takes into account the diving schedule of guests, with dinner extending until an hour after night diving. On the night we drank and chatted, the restaurant also extended its service time for us. What surprised me and my friends the most was before checking out on Sunday noon, as we passed by the restaurant with our luggage, the staff invited us to have lunch before leaving. This means our package included Saturday's lunch and dinner, as well as Sunday's breakfast and lunch. The service was exceptionally attentive and thoughtful!

Additonally, regarding transportation and location, the diving resort is on the island. They arranged a boat to pick us up from the parking lot based on our arrival time. The location of the diving resort is relatively secluded, with a large seaside area. The restaurant is outdoors, and after a day of diving, returning to enjoy the sea breeze while watching the sunset reflected on the sea is truly a joy in life.

Lastly, regarding booking, any questions from planning the itinerary to during the two days of diving could be quickly addressed on WhatsApp (Arlyn). It felt like I experienced concierge-style service.

In a nutshell, this is the best diving resort experience I've had, without a doubt.

    We just did a day trip for diving this time. Service was great, and staff were knowledgeable and helpful. The lunch was ok, but some more Western or non carb menu options would be nice.

    Great for day trips. This is my 5th or 6th trip here, and each time, it's been good to get in the water and get some dives. I've stayed overnight before too and was happy with my stay - Rooms are basic and clean, beds comfortable.

    Room tip: Book now!

    Helpful staff, amazing reefs and wildlife. Food was good, local cuisine. The afternoon turon is amazing and a highlight after a long dive!

    The rooms were sparse, but all you need. It's a 15-20 min ride by boat to get there from the parking area, but once there it's all inclusive.

    Room tip: Make sure you have all the things you need when you go, because you can't really leave the location without the use of a boat.

    If you’re looking for a serene spot for excellent diving accompanied by great food and super friendly staff you‘ve come to the right place!
    With a fantastic reef right in front of the doorstep it’s easy to enjoy superb dives as well as snorkelling. My divemaster Jacob did a fantastic job in showing me around, encountering lots and lots of reef fish, giant clams, nudibranches, sleeping turtles on the night dive etc etc.
    The schedule was very flexible and made me feel like a VIP guest! Combined with great food, simple but nice rooms and falling asleep to the sound of the ocean. And resort manager Arlyn was a great help with organising transport and answering all my questions, catering to all my needs.
    Perfect four days of holiday – I hope to return some time soon!

    - Ms Arlyn, the resort manager, is very accommodative and provides excellent service. She makes sure that each guest is comfortable and enjoying his/ her stay. She would always ask us how we are doing which made us feel like VIPs!
    - It was my 2nd time at the resort and there were improvements made since I last visited in 2016, which means that management is not skimping on maintenance.
    - Great food! We always look forward to each meal.
    - No need to take a boat to snorkel. The front of the resort is a good snorkeling site.

    Room tip: Be sure to put Dive and Trek (Brgy Balite) on Waze or you might get lost!
