Atmosphere Resorts & Spa

What a lovely place. We spent eight days diving here in Jan 2026 and absolutely loved it. The room was large, well equipped and spotless and the grounds of the hotel are absolutely immaculate. It really is an oasis of calm. Special mention for the food and waiting staff, it really was a pleasure to watch an open kitchen and see the care and attention they give to what they are doing. The dive centre was excellent and in Arjay we had a guide with incredible eyes. He found us a list of critters to long to go into here but to see flamboyant cuttlefish on almost every dive was great. There are lots of small details whch make this the place what it is and one of them is the small coffee bar by the small children's pool. We had a very good coffee here most days and Alan, the fella running it is a legend! Highly recommended.

Our experience at Atmosphere was phenomenal. It is beautiful here and the staff are so friendly and helpful. I definately recommend Atmosplere.

Recommend this resort - the landscape, accommodation, setting is stunning (no beach), the people are warm and welcoming, the food so good, and the diving is fantastic (beautiful reef, lots of life).

Our stay was great..although we did not dive. We did enjoy. We feel if you are not diving maybe find another place. I feel they treat the divers maybe with a little more attention

My father and I spent a week here on a diving trip, and the entire experience was fantastic. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the level of hospitality throughout the resort was superb. The restaurant served excellent food, with great service and an overall really enjoyable dining experience. It has an excellent bar and offers amazing fine dining too. For those interested in exploring the surrounding area and local markets they offer outings with tour guides which were excellent.

The dive school was outstanding. All of the team were welcoming, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. We completed our Nitrox and Advanced Open Water courses with Tamara, the marine biologist and a certified dive instructor. She was brilliant—highly knowledgeable, friendly and a pleasure to learn from.

The diving itself was amazing, offering a great mix of coral reefs and exceptional macro life. For those interested in technical diving or underwater photography, the facilities here are the next level.

Overall, this is an outstanding resort that I would highly recommend to anyone, especially diving enthusiasts.

Atmosphere has it all! The grounds are beautiful, the accommodations spacious and comfortable and the dining excellent with an attentive, friendly staff including an in house sommelier, Ed who was knowledgeable and friendly. And then there’s the diving! The whole team was friendly, helpful and made sure everyone was well taken care of. The diving is phenomenal, especially the macro critters. Our dive master Louie found the tiniest creatures for us and celebrated enthusiastically when we found something on our own. This is a well run resort with friendly helpful staff. We are already planning our return.

We just wrapped up 2 weeks at Atmosphere and absolutely loved it. The grounds are beautiful, room was huge, modern and very comfortable. Food was superb with many menu choices and daily specials. Most importantly, the diving was awesome. Some of the best macro we’ve ever done. Dive shop is clearly well managed thanks to B and Jan. A special call out to all the amazing staff including Louie our dive master, Ed the sommelier who was such a great host, and Charlie at the pool who looked after us. We will be back! Murray and Jennifer #607.

The best staff. Amazing place. White Lotus vibes. Loved it. The staff is so accommodating. The best service I’ve ever experienced. The spa is amazing too. It was paradise.

We had a wonderful stay at Atmosphere Resort & Spa.

From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect: the setting is beautiful, the rooms are very comfortable, and the atmosphere is peaceful and relaxing.

The staff is incredibly kind, attentive, and always smiling — they truly make you feel special. Little touches like the handwritten note and local chocolates made our stay even more memorable.

The food was excellent, and the overall experience exceeded our expectations.

We highly recommend this resort and would love to come back one day. Thank you to the entire Atmosphere team!

It's rare that one receives top notch service even before becoming a confirmed customer. But this is what I experienced at Atmosphere. I was gobsmacked that Nenita answered my initial email with such detail and clarity that the anticipated email back and forth was not required.

And the service did not stop with booking. Airport to resort, check-in, restaurant experiences, room, dive experience, bar, excursion planning and execution (including daily 4am trip to church). Atmosphere can be known by its smiles.

The grounds are beautiful, and have an aesthetic I've not seen in the Philippines. Absolutely peaceful. Our room was bright and airy, and beautifully appointed. I loved the showers.

We started planning our next trip while we were there, and Lemuel showed us a good selection of rooms. All clean and ready for the next guests.

But, I shouldn't name names for everyone was special. Everyone smiled, from MD to groundsperson.

My most special moments were that I had my first 3 dive experiences at Atmosphere. With B and Jan encouraging me, and Lor finally getting me out of the starting gates. And the boat team of course.

Small things that pleased us? Well, yes, the smiles. But also the fresh milk delivered on request. The fact that meal courses came in order and not jumbled. The quality of the in-room coffee. That the reception staff did our peculiar little bookings without complaint.

Thank you, Atmosphere Team. All of you.

I had an excellent stay at Atmosphere Resort & Spa. The resort is exceptionally clean, quiet, and well maintained, creating a very relaxing and comfortable environment throughout the stay.

The diving center operations and services are highly professional, well organized, and managed by an experienced team, which made the diving experience smooth and enjoyable.

Most importantly, the staff across the entire resort were outstanding—consistently helpful, cooperative, and attentive, with a genuine commitment to guest satisfaction. Their professionalism and warm hospitality truly elevated the overall experience.

A top-tier resort that delivers on both service quality and operational excellence. Highly recommended

We had a great time at Atmosphere. It is a very well-designed resort, with tranquil spaces and a nice flow to the place. The yoga treehouse - and yoga classes - were a highlight for us, but the diving/snorkelling were also top class. Apo Island and the house reef are both excellent. The food and drink selections were very good - although we did go into the village a couple of times to get some local variety. Our garden room was good size (albeit we didn't need to use the kitchen at all, except to boil a kettle!)

Everything about Atmosphere is outstanding - the rooms, the grounds, food, bars and staff. Even when it’s pretty full, it never feels crowded. The snorkelling trip to Apo Island was fabulous. You should also treat yourself to the spa, especially the watsu treatment.

We stayed at Atmosphere Resorts & Spa in December 2025, and I genuinely have not one negative thing to say about our time there. This beautiful resort exceeded every expectation and delivered an unforgettable holiday in the Philippines.
From the moment we arrived, the property impressed us with its impeccable maintenance. The gardens are meticulously manicured, creating a lush, tropical paradise, and the swimming pools are sparkling clean and inviting – perfect for relaxing after a day of diving or exploring.
Our room was enormous, spotlessly clean, and wonderfully comfortable – easily one of the best we’ve ever had in a resort. Everything felt luxurious yet welcoming.
The food was hands-down the highlight of the dining experience and probably the best hotel food I’ve ever enjoyed. The quality, presentation, and variety were outstanding, with excellent value for money. As my wife is celiac and requires strictly gluten-free options, the kitchen went above and beyond every single day, preparing special dishes for her that weren’t even on the menu. This level of personalized care and attention to dietary needs was truly remarkable and made her feel so valued.
The staff are the heart of Atmosphere – they greet you warmly, smile genuinely, and simply cannot do enough to make your stay perfect. Special mentions go to Angelique in the restaurant, who was an absolute delight; Ray, the resort manageress, whose leadership shines through in every detail; the friendly and attentive pool attendants Arvin and Larry and waiters; and the entire dive centre team.
The dive centre, capably run by Jan and his exceptional staff, is world-class. I dived with Aldi, who was superb – knowledgeable, safety-focused, and great fun underwater. My son completed his Open Water certification there with Lor, who was incredibly patient and turned what could have been a nerve-wracking experience into an absolute treat. The equipment is top-notch, and the diving itself (including the house reef and nearby sites) is phenomenal – easily some of the best muck and macro diving we’ve encountered.
One thing to note for future guests: the beaches in this part of the Philippines (Dauin area) are volcanic with dark sand and pebbles, so they’re not the classic white-sand stretches ideal for long walks. But honestly, the incredible diving more than makes up for it – you come here for the underwater world, not the beach lounging!
All in all, Atmosphere Resorts & Spa is a standout luxury dive resort with heartfelt hospitality. We’d give it an 11 out of 10 and can’t wait to return. Highly recommended!will I return you can bet on it, I arrived as a guest and felt like family when I left.

We had such a fantastic time at Atmosphere Resorts & Spa! Our room was spacious and so comfy—the perfect place to crash after a long day.
The entire staff was incredibly kind and always ready to help with a smile. The food was also great, though we would’ve loved to see a few more local Filipino dishes on the menu!
A huge shoutout to the dive center. They are super professional, and we loved the small groups per guide. It made for some truly fabulous, stress-free dives.
Can’t wait to go back!

The room was very spacious and clean, the resort was very well manicured, the food was good at the hotel restaurant, and the staff are very friendly and nice. The staff was very attentive, showing us the different places to dive and they have an extensive Dive team!

Nested in a great location near Apo Island, this resort is a good strategic location for many activities around Dumaguete and a top notch dive center. Grounds are beautiful and the rooms with all necessary amenities including and outside shower ! If you chose this place, you can swim with the whale sharks, visit a fabulous sand bar or dive the marine sanctuary of Apo island !

This Resort is amazing. Very well maintained with a beautiful surrounding, garden, pools, bar, restaurant and the bungalows are fantastic too.
The beach is a bit rocky, dark sand but what’s underneath the water again is very beautiful. A big variation of soft and hard corals, a lot of fish and overall a well kept house-reef.
The staff is so what of friendly courteous and skilled too. Also the served food is high quality and nicely presented.
Not at last to mention the SCUBA diving -base and it’s offered dive-activities and professional schooling. Again high quality gear, competent staff and well maintained boats.
Overall a little treasure on this side of the island and something I can recommend without blinking an eye.

Absolutely brilliant dive holiday. The service by all staff is wonderful. The resort is lovely with beautiful rooms, a great spa, good food and just a good vibe. The diving offers something for everyone. I will definitely go again! Enjoy.

If I could give Atmosphere Resort more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. From the moment we arrived, it was pure magic. Our room was incredibly fresh, clean, and beautifully designed, with every amenity we could need and so many thoughtful touches that made it truly comfortable.
Delicious breakfasts, cocktails by the lovely clean pools, amazing massages, and a romantic treehouse dinner under the stars where the setup and food completely blew us away. Every meal was top tier.
Yoga was both relaxing and challenging, and the free drinks with live music on Thursday night had the perfect vibe. The hospitality was fantastic, with towels, food, and drinks always brought promptly with a smile.
A big reason we chose Atmosphere was their inspiring community initiative, the Atmosphere Soup Kitchen ❤️ We were blessed to spend a morning volunteering, serving 85 school children hot meals and vitamins. It was a humbling and heartwarming experience that we’ll never forget.
Our Apo Island trip was another highlight, with the friendliest crew and thoughtful touches like hot towels, drinks, and lunch on the water.
Special thanks to Ruby, Arvin, Noe, Larry, and Hope for their warmth, care, and the best service we’ve ever experienced.
While the resort is on the higher end cost-wise, the experience more than justified it. Atmosphere Resort is pure magic ❤️ If I could rate higher, I would, and we’ll 100% be back with our kids one day!
