Great Stay.
Pros:

The room was bigger then I expected, I loved the open plan shower tucked behind a half wall. I loved the fact they had complementary water daily. It was clean to a very good standard.
The food at the restaurant was nice, very good portions. Although I couldn't eat the whole pizza but I just got it in a "doggy bag" and put it in my room fridge for lunch the next day.
The lighting around the ground was good at night.
My main reason for staying here was the fact they had the Dive Society on site.

Für Taucher und Pärchen/Gruppen ohne Kinder perfekt!.
Pros:

Die Unterkunft ist neu, sauber, direkt am Meer und grosszügig gestaltet!
Der Pool ist gross und sauber.
Das Essen ist sehr lecker wenn auch eher etwas teuer.
Als Tauchhotel sehr zu empfehlen.
Das SSI - Dive Center „Dive Society“ ist super und obwohl unabhängig, eigentlich im Hotel integriert!

Cons:

Da es rundherum keine Alternativen gibt, ist man auf das Resort beschränkt.
Wir sind als Familie unterwegs. Da nur ich tauche, war meiner Frau und vor allem unserer zweijährigen Tochter bald einmal etwas langweilig…
Ein Kinderspielplatz fehlt!
Das Meer/der Strand ist zum Baden ungeeignet.

ok but not great
Pros:

nice big pool, quiet, a little further away than expected. Chef Gomez and restaurant staff were great

Cons:

I stayed for 4 nights, bed was not comfortable and room they only service the room once - even though I was gone the entire day and left the clean room sign on the door, came home to an unmade bed for the 2nd time. No iron. probably good for diving but not so great for business travel.

Best food In the Philippines
Pros:

A nice place to stay, very reasonably priced. This was the second time we have visited and the highlight again is the restaurant, very well trained waiting staff and the best food we have eaten in the Philippines.... excellent. Thank you.

Blue Villa in Dauin
Pros:

This is a nice place with a beautiful setting. The staff was friendly and helpful. They do charge for everything and it is probably a wee bit more expensive because of that than other comparable locations. WiFi was flaky.

Very private...
Pros:

Villa in Blue was a good choice because it was very private, tucked away in a quiet annex area of Sea Dreams Resort. But connectivity was the trade off for privacy. Would not have been an issue except we had to coordinate plans with our local driver-guide. Our sea view room on the ground floor was perfectly positioned, with the option to use our porch access as front door. The room was clean and spacious, but I would have preferred more seating options. A 2-seater couch would have been nice. The water was less than 10 m from the room, but there wasn't much of a beach to speak of. It was rocky. So even though the water was clear and inviting in the marine sanctuary, it was a struggle to get in. Food options were also scarce, because other than the hotel restaurant, there is nothing within walking distance from the resort, and transportation was a slight problem because flagging down a tricycle along the main road just outside the resort was something left too much to chance. But we managed to resolve these issues with some advanced planning. All in all, we had a wonderful 5-night stay and I would recommend Villa in Blue to friends.
