Great Dive resort!

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 15 Apr 2018via mobile
We went diving for the first time ever so we did the DSD. Our diving master is called Sofie and she did a really great job! We felt safe with her and had lots of fun!! Thanks for sharing our first breath under water with us!
Would recommend this resort to everyone!

Watercolors Boracay dive resort offers a fantastic opportunity for divers to have their accommodation and diving services provided in one place. The staff are very welcoming and attentive. The atmosphere is relaxing. The place is located just by the beach with an easy access. I think it's in section 1 which makes this place a bit more quiet from the other similar establishments. I had my open water diving course with Filip who is a very reliable and professional instructor. I hope to be back there again.

Before visiting the island my partner and I had discussed going diving, as we had both been before but never together.

We happened across WaterColors on our first evening. We stumbled in, still jet lagged from the flights, where we met Filip.
Within no time at all I had signed up to the PADI Ocean Water course, knowing that my partner and I were keen to dive together in the future.

I was conscious of the balance between skills and dive time, given that I was on holiday with my partner. However we found a perfect balance.
Filip was passionate and insightful throughout, a true professional who clearly loves his job.
He was very relaxed and supportive of my partner who at times struggles with confidence under water.
As well as pointing out interesting creatures/fish, taking time for a selfie or two.

All that as well as the friendly staff that work at the resort.
Even though we weren't staying there, part of me wishes we had down. The food was good, we ate there several times.
The service was second to none, genuinely friendly people who were very accommodating. A true credit to the business/Philippines.

I decided to have the Advanced Open Water and the Nitrox courses with Philip. It was great, very professional instructor. I loved the dives. Amazing spots, wrecks, coral reefs.
Highly recommend doing the courses.

After checking reviews, as a couple (with toddler) we decided to check in at watercolors 1st week of March. after staying for two nights, our stay is fantastic.

Here are pros:

1) superb service & comfortable beds
- all crews very courteous attending our needs. Cleaning is twice a day, towels get always replaced, checkin and checkout are smooth.

2) tasty food.
- breakfast is delicious. We get our breakfast upgraded to American or Filipino. Offhand roaming around Boracay to eat nearby resto, but every plate served never disappoint us. We tried, tinola, grill blue marlin, chicken, adobo, all taste great. Hamburger also looks interesting but never had a chance to taste it.

3) nice location
- just few steps at the grotto.

Here are some cons.
- Room are quite small but functional.

Overall. Great stay and will definitely go back and recommended.

When I travel, I always opt for the cool, boutique-y places where they pay real attention to design, good food and where the staff are allowed to have their own personality. Watercolors just simply ticks all these boxes.

Been to Boracay twice and those 2 times I stayed at Watercolors simply because their service and quality never disappoint!

*SERVICE – 5 out 5

Service is on point. The staff is very knowledgeable so you can always rely on them to give you good pieces of advice about the island. Always smiling, polite and conversational. Gretchen is the star of the team. She makes sure you are always looked after and even books excursions on your behalf when you’re there. You can also ask them to book transfers for you to and from the airport.

*LOCATION – 5 out of 5

We wanted somewhere quiet but still within walkable distance to the more happening areas of White Beach. Watercolors is perfectly located in Station 1 as it’s right in front of the beach near Willy’s Rock yet far away from the hundreds of tourists that hog the beach at Stations 2 and 3. You can enjoy both the quiet side and the nightlife of Boracay at Watercolors.

*ATMOSPHERE – 4 out of 5

It’s a boutique hotel as I mentioned and the room sizes are quite compact but the décor is very warm, sleek and modern. The stone wall in the bathroom is my favorite detail! Rooms are always clean and fresh and the hotel music is surprisingly good.

*FOOD – 5 out of 5

Now comes the good stuff. Been in the hospitality industry for years and we know for a fact that you can judge if a hotel is good if they have good coffee! Watercolors not only serves good coffee but they know food! Sadly, Boracay has a scarcity of restaurants that pay attention to good quality food, locally sourced produce and fresh ingredients. So when we were looking for a good seafood restaurant, we were quite disappointed and frustrated that the restaurants by the beach offer either overcooked, overpriced, or days old seafood!

Luckily, we asked the restaurant staff at Watercolors and they bought fresh seafood from the local market and cooked for us! We had lobsters, tiger prawns, fish and salmon – YUM!

Also, their Adobo is phenomenal!

Room tip: Get the seaview room - totally worth it!
