    Really wonderful stay! The rooms were lovely, with nice modern decor and a very comfortable bed. My boyfriend and I completed 2 fun dives, with a great guide (Gilbert) who took us to some fantastic spots. Massive thankyou to Erwin for helping us get to the ferry port on time! All the staff were so friendly with Shereen showing us around and everyone making us feel welcome. The food was spot on, 100% recommend trying the local dishes! Thankyou!

    Been here twice now, leading a school diving trip. Rooms are lovely, spacious and clean. Bathrooms are considerably better than one might hope for. Staff are super friendly and no request is too small or big for them. Owners are knowledgeable about the local area, both on land and in the sea and are EXCELLENT teachers. Again, they cannot do enough to ensure your visit is a success. Diving around here is gorgeous: clear waters with plenty to see though pay attention to migration patterns if you're after big ticket experiences. Food at Sandingan is a highlight, not one bad choice the whole time we were there. TV in every room with plenty of channels, free WiFi, beautiful grounds. If you're looking for a diving holiday in the Philippines, you can't go wrong with Erwin and Richelle at Sandingan dive resort!

    We had a fantastic stay at the Sandingan Dive Resort. The staff there is super friendly and if you have any questions or problems they are happy to help you out. The rooms are all individually decorated and very clean. There is a room service every day so the rooms stay clean and nice. Also the service in the Restaurant is really good and fast. The breakfast is delicious and you can choose from a fairly big range of food. Also the Dive Center there is amazing. The gear they have is almost brand new and clean as well. No ripped suits or dirty regs. The corals are really healty and there are heaps of fish around. I can just recommand you to book some night in the Sandingan Dive Resort and enjoy the holidsys there.

    Big thank you to the great staff

    Our family had a wonderful stay at Sandingan Island Dive resort. The staff were super helpful especially, Nancy who always had a smile on her face. William and Erwin made us feel very comfortable for first time divers. This was a wonderful experience and if you go there, it's such a great opportunity to learn to dive. Snorkelling is also very good. Food at the restaurant was great. Loved the tuna steak. The rooms are even better than the photos look as they are very spacious and immaculately clean.

    Would love to come back, and will definitely recommend to friends and family. Kai was also very helpful and knowledgeable
