We stayed in Bauan Divers Sanctuary for 3 nights to get our PADI license but the trip has been much more than just the certification, the location is beautiful and secluded from any big town, its a small paradise. Since our arrival all the staff has been so kind and attentive. They cooked delicious Phillipino food for us everyday with snacks in between our dives. Our dive guide Edgar was patient and fun, he let us dive at the time that best suited us and we saw so many fish and corals just diving around our hotel basically we saw all the Finding Nemo crew and multiple times! By the end of the trip Edgar became our close friend and we will definitelt stay in touch. I never write reviews but this place really deserved it! 5 stars for this Sanctuary!!!

My partner, friends and I are all regular divers and have frequented many resorts both in the Philippines and other parts of the world. This resort looked promising because of its location and its facilities. Sadly, this was one of the most unsafe resorts (for diving) that I have stayed in. First off, the boats they use for pick up of passengers and for diving are poorly maintained. Our 2nd dive of the day could have resulted in a major accident as the waves were quite sizeable and when we were picked up after our dive; in close proximity to Pinnacle Rock the boat’s engine would NOT start. If there had been a current or stronger wind we would have all wound up crashing on the rocks. The boats are old and most be replaced. The resort itself although quiet was not cleaned very well and with a lot of “lounge chairs” that were either broken, covered in dirt or bird excrement. I do hope the owners or management do more to make this resort safer and a real “sanctuary” as they have called it. We will not be returning and will not be recommending this resort to any of the diving community until major changes / improvements have occurred.

Parking is big.
VERY spacious room.
Buffet food are very delicious, hat's off to the chef.
Very accommodating staff, and you are well taken care of.
Just in front and side of the resort are already snorkeling worthy, saw a turtle already!
