Bellissima esperienza

Tutto perfetto. Resort incantevole. Perfetto per chi cane ne ha moglie o amici al seguito che non fanno immersioni. Un posto bellissimo dove rilassarsi. Consigliatissimo

Très bel établissement pour votre séjour à Dauin

La gentillesse du personnel est à noter. Nous avons été très bien accueillis. La chambre était magnifique, nous avons fortement apprécié cette unique nuit dans cet établissement. Le petit déjeuner sous forme de buffet a un thème différent chaque matin, tout y est très bon. Les piscines sont belles, nous n'en avons pas profité car il pleuvait des cordes.

Great

The resort ic nice and the diving center is great with some really good instructors. The food is amazing and the staff is adorable.

The wodden bamboo houses are nice but the walls are not isolated so you can here all the noise from outside. And the beds are too hard. Besides that everything else was great

A great place to stay if you are not very picky with the food.

The hotel was the perfect place to relax and enjoy. The environment was cozy and the staff was very helpful and welcoming. The SPA was perfect, the bar was a joy and the beach was great. A lovely place to spend vacations. The breakfast was fine, with basic standard breakfast options plus some international options that vary each day. Overall was a great hotel to stay at, and if we ever go back to Dauin, we will definitely repeat.

The only downside was the overpriced restaurant considering the quality of the food, the food was just OK but tasted like cheap tourist restaurant food, so we had a first meal there and then we went to the local places to have our meals for the rest of the stay, which were not many good ones around but there was enough for the time we spent. The breakfast was fine, with basic standard breakfast options plus some international options that vary each day (I have to add, that one day they said they had Spanish breakfast that got me excited, but it was actually a Spanish/Mexican lunch). Besides that, the restaurant staff was also adorable.

Ideale Unterkunft für Apo Island 🥰

Definitiv der Bungalow bzw. das Zimmer. Das Bett war sehr komfortabel! Das Personal ist mega lieb und hilfsbereit. Wir durften nach dem Check-out noch den ganzen Tag am Pool verbringen. Der Ausflug nach Apo Island ist sehr zu empfehlen, wir haben noch nie so schöne Korallen gesehen wie dort! Beim Schnorcheln sieht man mehr von Korallen, Fischen & Schildkröten.

- Strand (dunkler Sand) aber Dauin ist ja bekannt für Muck Diving - hohe Preise im Restaurant - in Europa zahlt man teilweise weniger & nirgendwo anders haben wir für 7 Stk. Calamari so viel gezahlt wie dort

Très bon choix d’hôtel

Superbe hôtel en bord de plage de sable noir . Les bungalow de luxe ont une vue sur mer ! A environ 800m à droite de la plage il y a un super spot de snorkelling avec coraux multicolores et tortue ! Le restaurant est bon quoique un peu cher et le petit déjeuner est excellent et il est calme . Ils ont accepté que l’on puisse passer notre dernière journée à l’hôtel car nous avions un avion le soir .

Good stay in Dauin

The pool bar and the location was very convenient to reach the drive center. The restaurant was also good and we ate there almost all nights. They offer massages at a reasonable price. The staff was always very helpful.

The toilets didn’t have a good smell but we saw that this is common across the Philippines.

Overall a great stay.

Clean, staff were lovely, our favourite was Joyna. She greeted us a lovely smile and gave us a fantastic welcome tour. Awesome private location on a stunning black sand beach. Breakfast is awesome.

I would recommend booking day trips outside the hotel as we were less than impressed with the prices being significant more than the local prices.

Very good resorts Pura Vida and Vida Homes. Diving no very good.

Is a beautiful place. The room that we booked, was not aviable. We finally stay in the next resort, Vida homes. Same owner, more new, more expensive also. Workers they are all of them very very good. Wifi was very poor all time we stay.

This is the fourth time I.be been to this area, alwais for diving. I have to say is not worth it to go so far if your first purpose is diving. Diving there is only standard now. Years ago was fantastic, first class macro and muc. Sea explorers is a company very profesional. They do its work, but you see blue ring octopus in the wall of your room, no under water.

Friendly and attentive staff, solemn place, beautiful landscape, good diving place and etc.

I love everything of this resort that i stayed for more than a week. Perfect place to relax. Breakfast was good with lots of options. Fresh brewed coffee, juices and fresh fruit. Every day they have a theme of their bfast. Staff are so friendly. Rooms are well maintained and clean. Love the landscape/garden, perfect beach to swim. Its black sand but few meters from it you can do snorkeling. You will see stingray, turtles, beautiful corals and colorful fishes. Diving recommended. I did my basic diving course and friendly diving instructor. They have happy hours too and good cocktails. Sufficient variety of their menus. Good gym as i come to this place everyday.

Resort should arrange a free service to the city centre on a regular basis.

Beautiful well kept place, perfect for relaxing days

Pura Vida is a beautiful place with an immaculate garden, two nice swimming pools, two bars and a restaurant. The staff Rain, Dario and others are very friendly and helpful.

The wifi in our house was down and couple of days which nobody could explain. The breakfast has a different country theme every day, and is very meat heavy, at least the three mornings we were there. So a bit more fruit, veg, and yogurt to choose from would be great for those of us who don’t eat meat. Information is quite sparse and when we asked about tours, or how to get somewhere with public transport they didn’t have much to share. The trikes they order are a lot more expensive than others, which often happens at hotels, but they could be more clear on what the difference is, or offer reasonable deals.

Nice resort, good location, need fans on balconies!

Very friendly and helpful staff, amazing pools, large clean comfy room. Good location to walk to other restaurants and snorkel in the ocean nearby, plentiful breakfasts. They helped me book my dives as I couldn’t get their dive resort manager to respond to emails.

They need fans on the balconies!! It was so hot at night, not sure why they don’t have fans so you can sit outside. Pool lounge chairs were comfy, but anything in the shade was uncomfortable. Restaurant was expensive, didn’t eat there. Dive experience with their guides wasn’t great for me.

Exceptional

Beautifully landscaped resort on the beach catered to diving. Excellent customer service from hotel staff. Top class dive resort with highly professional guides.

Minor issue, really, but the bathroom could use a little updating.

Lovely resort by the beach

I like everything of this resort, except the weather was not so nice during our stay. The restaurant has lots of choices, the cooking is very good. The staff is well trained, and always helpful and friendly. The ambience of the resort is charming, nice garden, free form swimming pool, and nice bar by the pool, very well maintained. We are 4 people, so we have a nice connecting room, incl 2 bathrooms, 2 balcony, big space, very nice.

A little far from the center. About 30mins by tricycle, but away from the noises. Enjoy our stay very much.

Lovely resort with friendly and helpful staffs

Very nice resort by the beach, very nice pool, playground for kids, has their own dive shop, and restaurant. Resort staffs are excellent, very well trained, and always ready to serve the guests.

Maybe the location is a little bit far from the center, not many choices of the restaurants outside the resort, but the restaurant of the resort has many choices , the cooking is very good. If you want to find a quiet place, this place is definitely the right place.
