Best Place on White Beach!

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Apr 10, 2023
I LOVE Marco Vincent Dive Resort! I am so thankful they were able to accommodate my family and I last second during Holy Week! I booked myself at Casalay Boutique Resort and was so disappointed that I left within two hours of checking in. I gave Marco Vincent Dive Resort a call and we were so lucky to get their very LAST room!

I’m so thankful for the entire team especially the manager who just was so incredibly kind and made sure we had everything we needed. They even greeted us with welcome drinks even though we had just booked moments before showing up.

The pool is super clean and fantastic, the plants and lounging area are so relaxing from the hustle and bustle of white beach. And… when you’re ready to join the party at white beach it’s only just a short walk down the street! Really it’s not a problem since most hotels are on a hill and an even further walk!

Their rooms are clean and linens are comfortable. Totally sufficient place to sleep after a day of excursions!

They have tooth brushes and hygiene kits available and hot water and of course, air conditioning!

The free breakfast is delicious and they have fantastic deals for sunset cruises on their personal dive boat.

My kids are already begging to go back to Marco Vincent Dive Resort and we hope to see you all in May!

Thank you for making such a memorable stay and for memorizing our names and just being such an incredible team!

Date of stay: April 2023
Room Tip: This place can help you coordinate any excursion you want to go on or you can DIY out on white...

This is a great Dive resort. Had a fantastic time. The Resort: The rooms were clean and well maintained. The staff was fantastic. I was particularly impressed upon arrival the staff had researched all 10 members of our dive group and called us all by name. The food was amazing, Ronald the chef did a great job both at the resort as well preparing the lunch meal on the dive boat each day. Ghen and Nathan did a great job of taking care of our needs while at the resort. Alyssa and Angie were also great at taking care of us. Very much personal attention by all the staff. The Dive Boat: (Big Beth)The boat was amazing. The Dive leader Marlon was fantastic at coordinating our daily dives. My assigned dive master was warren, who was amazing. Warren did a great job keeping track of everyone and locating interesting marine life for us to observe and photograph. He practiced safe diving practices and was knowledgeable of all the sea life we encountered. I was very impressed by Marlon, Warren and Sherwin working together on each dive to locate macro marine life for observation and photography. The dive crew was a class act, excellent crew. The crew delivered hot ginger tea and hot towels following each dive. the crew was friendly and very helpful. As a dive professional, I know what a great dive operation looks like. This is a great dive operation.

Very accommodating and friendly lahat ng staff sa hotel. Sila lahat nag-asikaso in our trip to Puerto Galera from transfer, land tour and water activities. Our room is spacious especially the restroom. The facilities inside the hotel are also nice, clean and cozy. Definitely will go back at Marco Vincent for my future visit. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Room tip: Wait for their promo for more affordable offers

Finally got a chance to re visit our happy place after over 2 years of this covidiot brouhaha. And we are happy to report that Marco Vincent is still our favorite place to stay in whenever we are in Puerto Galera, Mindoro.

The best staff are there. Thanks to Ms. Faith, Ms. Rizza, Ms. Che, Christian, and the rest of the service crew who make the guests feel so at home.

My husband and I made our third visit to this wonderful resort in July 2022. The first two times were in 2016 and 2017. The service and hospitality continue to be outstanding beyond compare! The room was comfortable, everything was clean, the "Big Beth" diving boat is the best in the area, and the meals were superb. We stayed on the first floor next to the wonderful pool. Wi-Fi was free and fast. Every meal was delicious, including the hot 4-course lunches aboard the "Big Beth". Hot cloths, ginger tea, a shower, and a towel were available on the boat after every dive. Accommodations for dietary concerns and handicapped individuals are available (suggest advance request/inquiry) both at the hotel and for diving (such as entry and exit from the water). The ramp for boarding/exiting the boat from the dock has been changed since 2017, such that it is wider and especially easy for me to navigate now. Dive and hotel staff were extremely helpful throughout our visit. Handicapped or not, they will even help you put your fins on and more. Dive staff rinsed our dive gear daily for us, then it remained onboard the boat ready for our next day's diving with ease. We stayed 7 nights and enjoyed 6 days of diving, including one day diving the world class Verde Island protected reef area that is teeming with diverse sea life. Other dive sites in the Puerto Galera area included both reef and muck/sand habitats. We like both kinds of habitats, and all offered great underwater photography opportunities. Many staff at this resort have taken a lead in preserving the local marine environment which is as good as it was on our first visit there in 2016, and even improved in some areas, despite challenges posed by the pandemic. At check in, we received a written dive plan (subject to conditions of course) that included descriptions of the sites. At checkout, we received a written log of the sites we actually dove, again including detailed descriptions. We returned home with photographs of so many critters: giant clams, cuttlefish, flamboyant cuttlefish, frogfish, leaf fish, scorpion fish, seahorses, pygmy seahorse, many kinds of nudibranch, clownfish and their eggs, porcelain crabs, orangutan crabs, mantis shrimp, eels, pufferfish, butterfly fish, octopus, wunderpus, beautiful healthy reefs teeming with fish, and much more. This is a photographer's paradise with 2 camera rinse tanks and charging capability that we used for video lights on the "Big Beth", a dedicated camera room with charging capability at the hotel, and so much diverse sea life to photograph underwater. We very much look forward to returning to dive and photograph there again!

Room tip: Accessible rooms are on the first floor. All rooms surround the pool area.
