“Living like God in Italy”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

This lovely resort lies in a small cove just 5 minutes from the Muelle Pier in Puerto Galera. Giuseppe, the owner and his wife Sandra will pamper you, in particular your palate. This is one of the very few resorts in the Philippines where you will get three delicious meals a day prepared in an authentic Italian cuisine. Try the pizza on Saturdays, you may have to go far, even in Italy, to find any to match with Giuseppe's. The place is quiet with new, modern rooms with all amenities, catering primarily to Europeans, including Embassy staff, searching relaxation and excellent food. The resort hasn't got its own beach, but it has 3 speed boats which you can avail of free of charge, any time you like. They will take you to pristine sandy beaches nearby, far from the hassle of the (in)famous White Beach of Puerto Galera. Excellent value for money. We will definitely return.

Room Tip: Book one of the new rooms with large balcony overlooking the bay and the surrounding islands.

“...ein Geheimtipp”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 September 2011

Nach nur einer Uebernachtung in diesem Resort war ich begeistert. Die Zimmer sind einfach, aber neu renoviert und haben alles, was man braucht. Fuer Taucher gibt es zahlreiche Tauchmoeglichkeiten, Website konsultieren! Man kann auch von Guiseppe organisierte Ausfluege in die Umgebung machen. Er ist der Eigentuemer des Resorts und kuemmert scih hoechstpersoenlich um jeden Gast. Fuer das leibliche Wohl wird mit phantastischer italienischer Kueche gesorgt. Ob Pizza mit FRISCHEN Meeresfruechten, Pasta oder gegrillten Fisch alles ist gesund und sehr schmackhaft zubereitet.Sehr familiaere Atmosphaere! Ich werde auf jeden Fall zurueckkehren....

“Best food, great service, fantastic diving”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 May 2011

I went with a friend from Manila for 2 nights without knowing what to expect. I only knew before that the hotel offered diving trips and supposed to have the best Italian food on the island. After a great weekend at Fisherman Cove I can confirm that this is the best spot for anybody who is locking for a nice and clean place that is run by a great family and rally offered increadible Italian food. do not miss the beef Capaccio !

The Italian owner is onmipresent and assures that everybody feels at home. Sarting from the welcome, over the food and the activities, everything has a warm and friendly feel, all with a perfect value for money.

I also recommand to join use the Hotels dive centre, dive masters are very keen to arrange unforgettable trip to the surrounding dive sites and really know the very best spots to see the very unique local sea life. I definitely will return to Fisherman Cove soon.

Room Tip: contact the owner Giuseppe directly

“A magical place to relax”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 May 2011

The resort is managed and owned by Guiseppe who is the face and the heart of the place. He personally picks you up from the bay by arrival and he will look after you the entire stay. The service is great and the food excellent. From home made pasta over stone oven pizza and a must try is the beef carpaccio - the best in the Philippines. This resort is a perfect place for diving. They have one speed boat and one large boat. Most of the diving spots are just 15 minutes away - ask for Arial, he is a great dive instructor. If you chose to go for two dives on the large boat, the lunch will be served at the boat and as always - the food is excellent. The rooms are around 35 square and very efficient equipt with aircon, shower, bathroom etc. The hotel is a family and friends resort/diving destination and therefore the opposite to the other places closer to the night clubs. You will mostly find Italian tourists and foreigners who live in Manila and are looking for an escape from the busy city life. We love the place and we will return back soon. Thank you Fisherman cove team for the excelent stay.
