Okay Divers,
This is a place to add to your list! My wife and I just returned from 10 days at this resort and simply could not be any happier. This is a fairly remote location, but with easy access! Fly into Manila, hop on a "tour" type Bus, transfer to a boat and you are there in about 3 hours. From there just relax and let a friendly, efficient, local staff take care of everything for you.
When was the last time you went on a Dive Vacation and the operator asked you when you wanted to dive? We picked the time and the number of dives we wanted to do each day!! Water was 79 degrees F on every dive and Viz was in the 50 to 60 foot range. Nice slow drift dives, Wall dives, Muck dives? You ask, they take you! No dive time limits, you have air, you keep diving! All dives are within a few minutes of the Resort, after the dive you are back at the Resort for a relaxed surface interval. Again, you pick the time for the next dive! If you are into Macro Photography, move this place to the top of your list!!
The Resort has been around for awhile, so don't expect "new". What it is, is clean and very comfortable. A/C worked great, but was not needed many of the days we were there. Showers have endless hot water! As long as the water is running, it's Hot! Lots of room to move around too. There is a Bar and eating area down stairs by the dive shop and another up stairs, called The Sky Bar. Open airy, plenty of sun or shade. Music, TV or a game of Pool, just relax and enjoy. Stand at the railing and look down at the local kids playing on the boats and in the sand and water. Laughter fills the air and smiles abound!
David, your Host, hails from Washington State and shows his home town loyalties by serving Starbucks coffee! Good food with a varied menu, great soups and complete Bar. Happy hour daily from 5 to 7 and the Bar bill at the end of your stay will not send shock waves through your wallet!
If you take a group here you will not be disappointed, there is something for everyone!
Don't take this review lightly, I'm hard to please, I'm a PADI Instructor and my wife is a Divemaster. We do Dive travel with 2 dive shops, one in California and one in Kona Hawaii.
This is a place I will return to, with a group, or just to experience it all again myself.
Dates of our stay were November 30 thru December 10.
