“Excellent resort for the avid diver”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

My husband and I spent four nights at Atlantis in Puerto Galera and enjoyed every moment. We are still fairly new divers and the dive masters were incredibly flexible and very understanding. The transfer from Manila was remarkably smooth and comfortable (we ended up having a private boat!), and the welcome was very warm and friendly.

You can dive 4-5 times per day if you want, but we generally had the energy for 2-3 only. There isn't much to do besides diving, but the resort does have a spa with really affordable prices. We ended up getting 3 massages and I treated myself to a manicure and pedicure.

The food was fantastic. Absolutely delicious. The chefs can even make things to order, if needed. We enjoyed every meal at the resort given we bought that as part of our package.

For the avid underwater photographer, there is a photography room, and you can also rent an underwater camera if you don't have one.

I really hope we can come back. We went in mid-August, right before the high season began. The weather wasn't too bad and it practically felt like we had the resort to ourselves. What a fantastic vacation! The only improvement I can think of is to install mosquito nets in the rooms. We did have at least mosquito here and there, which made it difficult to rest easy.

“Exciting location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012

The hotel is across a busy little lane that cuts through the small town. Always fun to see the people busy with their day. The beach is nice, I went for a run every morning along the beach and it wound along onto a sidewalk and up a really cool cliff with wonderful views. The hotel is clean, nice pool, interesting little "hobbit rooms", maybe too small for some folks. Dive center is excellent and the meals here are very good. Great espresso machine!

“Fantastic service and diving”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012

people found this review helpful

We stayed here for a week as part of a group trip arranged by our local dive shop. Location was selected for us and arrangements made for the whole group as a package. Was absolutely fantastic. The overall service, whether in the restaurant, front desk, housekeeping or dive masters, was great. They really take care of you here and want you to have a good experience. Food in the restaurant is great with offerings that meet the tastebuds of guests from diverse backgrounds. If the daily lunch menu doesn't meet your fancy, they will stir fry something up for you in "Mongolian BBQ" style. Diving and the service of the divemasters is what made the trip unforgettable. Divemasters are experienced and patient with divers at all skill levels; very attentive while giving you space to explore on your own. All staff is very personable and learn your name and preferences. I would not hesitate returning to this resort.

Room Tip: Definitely be aware of the resort's location on a hillside and fact that some rooms require clim...

“Excellent food, very well run resort”

Expensive by comparisosn to other options nearby but clean, friendly and the best food in Puetro Galera. We had a mini-honeymoon here and it was really nice, felt a bit secluded from the seedy parts of the area. Excellent chef and staff - very helpful. Very safety conscious dive masters who were well organized. Good rental equipment. For divers - skip the Flora night dive with blacklights - over-priced and not worth it, but otherwise the diving was excellent and the trip very well organized.

Room Tip: ask if there is any construction in advance. some rooms require walking up 3 flights of stairs so a...

“Expensive - worth the splurge if you have the moolah”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2012

person found this review helpful

I think this is among the most expensive resorts in Sabang. It caters to divers and has the usual pretentious air of a plush resort that over charges.

I stayed here for 2 days, mostly diving. The dives are expensive as compared to other resorts in the area though the dive masters are good. I had a slight indication of this when they quoted all prices in US Dollars and not pesos. Wtf - I thought.

Their boats are good, so is their equipment. The rooms are good, air con, cable tv etc too is good. Food was too expensive (especially since the breakfast was not included int he room tarriff) and frankly, the restaurant had no views, so I just went over to the dozen or so eateries that line Sabang beach.

Like most hotels and resorts (small and big) in Sabang, it is real easy to find them - they have a representative waiting at the jetty when the boat from Batangas arrives. They help you with your baggage. Incidentally I was among the few divers who did not bring along his equipment (It always amuses me to see these Jacques Cousteaus who like to look all serious and bring their heavy gear along - even if they dive hardly 30 times a year. anyway to each his / hear own)
