This was my second visit to the dive resort.The first one was back in October 2012. It was good then and it is good now. The dive operation was as good as ever. The staff was friendly and helpful. They set up all your gear and offer you a hot towel after your dive. I had Jamie as a private... More

Be forewarned the rooms with a sea view are several floors up and the walk can be tiring after several daily dives. Rooms are comfortable with cold A/C, hot showers and intermittent WIFI access. Lobby always has access. Spa offers nail care and massages or the front desk can order a massage in your A/D room for $17.50 an hour.... More

I have been staying at El Galleon on and off since 2002 and I still love it. I have been here for diving 6 times now. The diving is great, but I always feel like meeting family again when I am here. The Point Bar is conveniently located right at the foot of the dock and the restaurant serves up... More

We stayed 2 nights in the luxury section of El Galleon resort - in studio of Waimea. At first we were surprised that we had to go quite far away from El Galleon reception (through other resorts and uphill) to reach Waimea. But the result was excellent - it is a secluded heaven of 4 beutiful cottages each of which... More

I am continually blown away by the amazing service and great food at El Galleon. The diving was amazing and the dive team professional, thoughtful and fantastically friendly. We went over Easter weekend which I thought would be really hectic, but in fact everyone made us feel very special - as always. This time we stayed at their annex which... More

The food here is excellent. The rooms are reasonable and lovely. The staff members are always there for you, extremely generous and helpful. The private transport which picked me and my friends up in Manila has been guaranteed with smooth and swift transition! Nice! Also went for a Discover Dive with Asia Divers in the Coral Garden of Puerto Galera.... More

The short review: Stay here, eat here, dive here, and drink here (after 5:30 p.m.) The longer review: Perfectly situated along a rocky strand (with an amazing, aircraft carrier of a dock), El Galleon is a no frills resort aimed at people who love to dive. The rooms are spare bordering on Spartan, but they are clean, cool, and offer... More

Dive masters very experienced in this area (8+ years each). We had an all inclusive package at the resort. Accomodations are comfortable. Not super fancy but very adequate. Food as prepared by...

Great resort with fantastic staff. Nice room with oceanview. Very good food and very cold beer at the bar. Diving is very well organised with great staff. Healthy reefs with lots of fish and small critters. The Verde Island trip is a "must do".
