It being my first journey to the Philippines and Asia on the whole, I had no idea what to expect and I'd prepared to rough it during my week in Puerto Galera. What I found in Capt'n Gregg's was anything but rough; comfortable, modern amenities in a pleasantly local atmosphere made me feel enough like I was at a resort to satisfy my desire to relax, but the authentic feel of the place scratched the itch I'd had to change my scenery from the New York winter I was traveling from. And of course the convenience of its location was one of the best parts about the place: it's right on the beach, a 2 minute walk to downtown, and the resort is complete with its own well-equipped and very well-staffed dive shop on the ground floor, just beneath the restaurant which is also excellent and definitely reasonable. Make sure to try a Gin Juice (a Capt'n Gregg's original creation) and you might never want to leave Puerto Galera at all! Between the many exquisite dive sites just a few minutes cruise from the resort in one of Capt'n Gregg's own boats, the restaurant's exceptional menu and bar (complete with the "Tea Table" reserved for solo travelers), and the constant party going on just steps away in downtown Sabang, Capt'n Gregg's is where you want to be when visiting Puerto Galera. First rate all around!!
