I stayed here for a week in the fall of 2009. If you are a serious diver and just want to dive in peace, this is the place to go. You are quickly transported from backwoods Philippines to prehistoric Philippines via a boat connection. There are no roads, and the resort itself is built into the side of a steep... More

Choosing Portulano was more of an act of serendipity. I had a selection of resorts but for some reason Portulano's website, reviews, and photos drew me in. I was there to do a little soul searching read books during my two night stay. I didn't want a TV nor did I need it for the first time in my life.... More

Its my first going there on November of 2011. we arrived there for just a daytour with a group of 4. Beware of tricycles who overpriced in going to the meeting place usually should be around a P100. First impression was a waste of time cause the pickup station is a beach with full of trash but when the boat... More

We're having a Family Reunion this past Holidays (Christmas & New Year- 2011). My Brother Arnold invite us to this place called Potulano Diving Resort. This is my first time to Dive to the open sea and which I couldn't imagine with my own to eyes that under sea world, life was awesome, full of life, and peaceful. More

Everytime I go on a vacation I always wanted to make the most of it -- activities planned the whole day, no idle time, itinerary polished etc. However, when I feel like escaping and just sleeping for more than 8 hours (excluding siesta), I always make it a point to go with Ferdi to Portulano. Portulano is a divers resort... More

I have taken both my Open Water and Advanced at Portulano in 2009 and since then I keep going back. The resort offers great diving nearby and now thanks to the new speedboat even far away sites can be reached in as little as 15 mins which allows for a great variety of dives. The owners, Arnela and Carmela, are... More

Stayed for 7 days with Portulano and had a fantastic time. The resort is very smart and everything is kept very clean. Rooms were comfortable and a highlight was the amazing views of the sunset over the Philippines Sea. The food was consistently good and staff were friendly, helpful and attentive. The house reef offers excellent quality scuba diving (I... More

Lovely resort with nice simple, big and clean rooms at affordable prices. The balconies looking out into the bay gives you a nice view of the sunset! The owners, Arnel and Carmela are helpful and friendly arranged for transfers to and from Manila Airport which is about 2.5 hours away. I was there with a group of friends on a... More

I went to Portulano with a couple of friends over the weekend for a short overnight stay and I regret not having extended my vacation! We were completely happy to know that the place was very private. We were surprised to discover that the buffet included with our stay wasn't the usual "fried, Filipino buffet." We initially thought that the... More
