Wow! What an amazing time we had ! From the moment we arrived, we felt like part of the family. The staff are just the friendliest and most thoughtful people, always making sure we were happy — the little things they did for us such as: preparing free snacks for us between dives when we had our surface intervals, to addressing us by our names and paying attention to our dietary preferences made us feel very well cared for.

The diving here is absolutely top-notch. Visibility was great with ample dive sites to explore.
Our dive master, Freky, was fantastic; so knowledgeable and fun, and he made sure every dive was a special experience. He was attentive in spotting marine life, and also very helpful whenever we faced with strong currents underwater. Plus, he lights up our dives with his energy!

The resort itself is beautiful, with comfy rooms and great amenities for divers. We got a full board on all our diving days and never once was the food repeated! Food is also great, guaranteed to fill your bellies. Thank you so much to Eric, Ron and Cheryl for taking such good care of us at the restaurant!

We also tried their massages which was what we truly needed after a tiring day of travelling / diving and it was great too! If you’re looking for a perfect dive holiday in the Puerto Galera with a warm, welcoming vibe, you have to stay here!!

If you are looking for an all-inclusive scuba diving resort, this is it! The rooms are comfortable with AC, the food is delicious and lots to choose from! The camera room has been rebuilt and extended for all your camera needs. I have been here multiple times over the years and they always have exceeded my every expectation! I absolutely love the dive team and their ability to take care of me and my equipment with care and attention to detail. The diving is amazing if you are looking for small critters and healthy coral reefs this is for you!

The food was delicious and plentiful! Rooms were clean with individual A/C units. Showers had on demand water heaters. Staff was friendly and helpful. Diving was phenomenal. Mike and Freaky took great care of us on the dives. Armand helped with getting skins and booties off. Most dive sites were within a 5 minute boat ride. Every one learned our names quickly, greeting us with a smile every time. Highly recommend!
