Amazing stay
Pros:

Everything was great, I was only supposed to stay 3 days but I ended up getting stuck and staying 2 weeks. The diving here is great too, they have a great all around team and welcoming staff. Hopefully I’ll be back!

Pros:

Dive shop and resturant was spot on

Cons:

Room,i spoke with owner about it.
My room had no hook,no bedside table,no where to put my clothes for 4 nights,bed was very low to the floor and stairs rickety..
Owner explained they will "finish soon" but mean time i had to have all my dive gear and clothes on the floor!
BTW
Lovely owners and very responsive to my feedback face to face

Pros:

Perfekt ophold som dykker. Behageligt poolområde, stedet har fået gang i en restaurant, som laver dejlig mad og drikke. Især deres coconut latte er værd at prøve!

Mange diversites at tage til, og kan stærkt anbefale at tage med på en tur til Apo Island, som indebærer 3 dyk.

Pros:

Supertolles und zuvorkommendes Personal

Rundum perfekt!
Pros:

Das Zimmer war makellos sauber, modern eingerichtet und groß. Das Bad ebenso perfekt sauber, warmes Wasser war nie ein Problem, Klimaanlage leise und effektiv.
Das gesamte Personal, von Tauchguides über Service und Rezeption, immer super freundlich und herzlich. Das Essen ausgezeichnet. Wir hatten einen wirklich grandiosen Aufenthalt und haben uns vom ersten Moment an sehr wohl gefühlt.

Cons:

Wenn ich nach Kleinigkeiten suche, dann:
WiFi auf dem Zimmer ab und zu hakelig, die Kopfteilbeleuchtung des Bettes "glüht" nach bzw. lässt sich nicht zu 100% ausschalten, was für uns absolut kein Problem war.

Better than what expected. Tiny but cozy. New room. Good for divers. Great pool.
Pros:

I stayed in a new room with private bathroom, upstairs. Comfortable bed, split air conditioner, roller blind, great shower, shampoo, body soap. Tiny but cozy. And cheap. The pool is beautiful at night. I read it is a good dive center, you can do shore dives and Apo Island trip with good prices. I did with Liquid because they haven't the trip available the day I wanted. You can have breakfast (granola with yogurt and fruits was great 300PHP) and lunch at Bongo Bongo. It's near a great restaurant for dinner called Jardim. If you need a tricycle call Lito 63 905 649 7281. From Dauin to Dumaguete ferry 600PHP.

Cons:

some strange smell at the bathroom, but no problems.
