Excellent hotel, hostel and dive shop!
Pros:

As an enthuisiastic diver, Bongo Bongo runs an excellent, well equipped dive shop with lovely guides. I booked a private room, which was very spacious, spotlessly clean and modern. Hotel staff were wonderful. Breakfast was a-la-carte but the quality was great. Location close to the beach was lovely. Note though, Dauin is a sleepy town and not too many tourists, so a great place to come for a quiet stay, relax and unwind (which is exactly what I wanted, and loved it) but be aware that amenities outside the hotel are thus sparse and although lovely is not a "beach" destination as such (as of 2026).

Cons:

Nothing, it was all lovely.

Bon séjour
Pros:

Grande chambre moderne et bien équipée , piscine agréable, club de plongée, emplacement près de la plage, beau snorkelling, très bon restaurant Anahaw pas loin

Cons:

Pas d'eau chaude dans la chambre, mais on peut toujours utiliser celles des dortoirs plus belles et avec eau chaude. Le personnel est sympathique dans l'ensemble quoique l'accueil pourrait être amélioré.

Mega! Ohrenstöpsel und Mückenspray sind ein MUSS!
Pros:

Die Anlage des Tauchcenters ist wirklich super schön! Alles sehr gepflegt und sauber! Das Tauchangebot sowie die Tauchguides sind spitze, alle super nett und motiviert! Die Lage ist top, lediglich 20 Meter vom Strand entfernt.

Das Personal hilft wo es nur kann und organisiert sogar das Waschen der Wäsche sowie die Vermietung von Rollern direkt von der Unterkunft aus. Man braucht lediglich seine Wäsche zur Rezeption bringen und innerhalb von wenigen Stunden liegt diese frisch gewaschen und ordentlich zusammengelegt wieder an der Rezeption. Der Roller wird einem direkt in die Unterkunft gebracht.

Cons:

Ich hatte ein Single Zimmer mit Ventilator. Grundsätzlich war es nicht verkehrt, jedoch sehr stickig. Ohne Ventilator definitiv nicht auszuhalten. Für die Nacht braucht man unbedingt Ohrenstöpsel, da die ganze Hütte sehr hellhörig ist und der Ventilator ziemlich stark brummt. Auch hört man die umliegenden Ventilatoren, sowie Klimaanlagen. Ab ein Uhr morgens krähen dann die Hähne im Nachbargarten im Sekundentakt. Deshalb unbedingt Ohrenstöpsel!

Die Gegend ist sehr moskitoreich, deshalb unbedingt an das Mückenspray denken!

Alles was in orde!

Fijne duik trips en een fijne relaxte stek.
Pros:

De goed georganiseerde duik trips en de vriendelijke behulpzame mensen en de relaxte sfeer. En een gezellig relaxte tuin met sfeervol zwembad.

Cons:

Hutje was erg klein, ietsepietsie meer ruimte met iemand van bijna 2 meter erbij zou net even beter zijn. Alles was net gerenoveerd maar stank afsluiters waren niet super. Ze hebben wel hun uiterste best gedaan dit te behelpen dus…he
Eten was via bezorg systeem, is altijd iets minder. Er zat een restaurant schuin tegenover en een klein winkelcentrum in de buurt met een paar eettentjes maar helaas te laat ontdekt.
