All these people are amazing! It's highly visible they are committed to make each and everyone's stay a pleasure.
Before coming here, my gf was completely scared of snorkelling or scuba.
She ended up doing them both, including diving with the Whalesharks ;)
It's remarkable the patience and professionalism those folks can show off.
Big thanks to "Ape" which is like a mother, asking each and everyone about their breakfast preferences (type of food + time of serving) one evening in advance.
Definitely this is a place to come back ;)

Der Bungalow war sehr sauber und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Vom Bett aus hat man einen traumhaften Ausblick. Einfach paradiesisch. Das Personal war sehr sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit und stellte uns sogar Schnorchelausrüstung und eine Schwimmweste zur Verfügung um die Unterwasserwelt direkt vor dem Resort zu erkunden. Wir haben auch einen Ausflug zu den Walhaien und zu einem Wasserfall übers Resort gebucht, was alles super organisiert war und wir uns um nichts mehr kümmern mussten. Auch das Frühstück war sehr sehr lecker.
Wir haben uns auch so mal bekochen lassen und waren ebenfalls begeistert.

Making reservations from the USA for a resort half way around the world is a scary experience but I went off the booking score. It turned out that was a good decision as this was a small but lovely place to stay. The staff is very friendly and we did both scuba diving and snorkeling of the Whale Sharks which is a quick 15 minute drive. Their staff drove us around to restaurants and the various dives for no charge. One of the other tenants was making their first dives noted that at another resort they felt pressured and pushed by the diving instructor versus this staff took their time and made sure they felt comfortable under water. A great place to visit whether you're a seasoned diver or first attempt. Cheers!

You need to plan for about 90 min waiting time after ordering at the restaurant.

Wir haben uns in der Unterkunft so wohl gefühlt! Alle Angestellten sind sehr freundlich, Ben ist mit seiner netten und jederzeit positiven Art aber wirklich das Herz der Unterkunft. Die Zimmer sind eher klein, aber sehr süss eingerichtet und mit einem kleinen Sitzplatz vor dem Eingang. Cool ist auch der Pool. Ein grosser Vorteil ist der tolle Service mit gratis pick-up und drop-off in der Umgebung. Der Dive resp. das Schnorcheln in Samboan mit der Unterkunft war auch ideal! Lecker gegessen haben wir auch immer und gute Empfehlungen:-)
Wasserschuhe für Strand mitnehmen, Korallen etwas schmerzhaft zum Reingehen

A very well run establishment. The rooms are not particularly big however they are clean, well equipped and have comfortable beds. Food is served outside your room door and is both delicious and reasonably priced. There is a nice pool onsite and the sea runs right up to the property edge. Management are very helpful with travel advice and they operate a professional and affordable dive centre.
The resort itself is as good as it possibly could be. The sea really isn't suitable for swimming except at high tide. It is fun however to spend time with the locals as they dig for clams at low tide. Santander has very little to offer, just another in a string of nondescript towns along the coast. You'll need to head inland to really appreciate the beauty of this part of Cebu

The staff are great and accommodating. The food were great.

We spent a week here and got our open water diving licenses with Ben. I felt so safe with Ben, Sonny and Jacob during dives.
When I panicked underwater, Ben helped me and calmed me down. He is a very chill but “I got you covered” type of dive instructor. His motto is “Be comfortable”:) As a result, I progressed faster than expected underwater. During my first recreational dive near Sumilon island, I got to enjoy the amazing coral walls, the shark, the sea slugs, the turtle and millions of fishes while in control of my body.
Before this, I didn’t even dare to swim in swimming pool.
This team is really really passionate about diving, they love it themselves and such love spreads.
Also special thanks to Christian, a beautiful and fun girl who took care of us. The chef/driver who drove us to the port to Sumilon island.
And to “Nanay”, who’s so charming and cooks so delicious food. Her cooking is fine dining level, with taste, smell and look all amazing.
Thanks for opening a new door in my life. I wish when we come back next time, they will have their own boat for diving.

Very attentive staff. Pool was nice. Great beach for snorkeling and shore diving (we found out too late). Food was tasty. They helped arrange private transport to our next destination. We rented scooter from them. They are a little away from busy areas which is always preferable for us.
10.0
Nicely furnished room. Comfortable bed, good pillows, clean quality sheets. Internet plenty fast enough for surfing - we didn't try watching TV. Modern tiled bathroom with hot shower and sink. The accommodation is modern chalets so no worries about noise from neighbours. Mini bar with tea and coffee facilities. All in all, the room is significantly better than what you can usually expect at this price range in the Philippines.
The property is directly on a non sand waterfront. The beach is coral pieces, but as soon you are in the water there is a gentle slope covered in soft sea grass so good for young children. The waterfront and sea water are both very clean with no trash on the beach or in the water. Water is transparent, didn't see a single jellyfish. Great to work up an appetite with an early morning swim. We are not divers so cant comment on the dive shop.
Wonderful Pacific sunset at night looking over towards Negros and Dumuagette, ideal view when having an end of day drink to celebrate another successful day.
Very helpful and welcoming staff who picked us up in Santander town on arrival and took us to Oslob whale shark centre and Tumalog waterfall drop off for taking a motor bike up the hill to the falls. This resort is only about 5 minutes drive from the whale sharks and can definitely be considered an overnight stop of place if on a short visit.
The resort has a a good restaurant, so we really enjoyed the two dinners we ate there. And cooked breakfast of course. They serve nice coffee too. No 3 in 1 heartaches!!
To sum up. If I ever go back to the area, I would definitely stay here again. You can reserve with confidence
Cons : Santander town is a close walk up the hill, but there really isn't much to do there. If looking for nightlife you might be disappointed.

Everything about our stay was exceptional. The whole Staff was amazing, especially Sonny and Ben who made sure we had everything and more! They were fixing all of our problems in no time (for example broken car :)) food was amazing and prepared with special care. The pool is also great. If you ever come to Cebu, this is the best place to stay at.

incredibly friendly helpful and wonderful staff who were extremely accomodating from our excellent scuba diving course to offering to post forgotten items. not only a beautiful resort but the staff went above and beyond to make our time there a great one including dropping us off at our bus stop and waiting with us to ensure we got the right one
10.0
We really enjoyed staying here. The accommodation was very tidy, clean and comfortable. The people running it were extremely helpful and accommodated all our wishes and needs! For instance, breakfast starts at 6am but they had breakfast ready for us one day at 5:45 at our request as we were being picked up at 6:15. And they lend us their diving equipment rack to dry our own equipment. The pool is also beautiful. As the hotel is very little, the preferences of each guest are known and remembered by them. They always looked after us with a smile. Really recommended!
Some of the food items in the menu were not available but to be honest, you can't blame them as it was over Easter and many shops close or probably bring less stock.

Everything was perfect. However, this place couldn’t be as good as it was without the manager who was amazing and did everything to make us feel relaxed and welcome. I would definitely return!
the bed was also very comfy.
there wasn’t something we didn’t like, but as a recommendation, some mosquito nets would be good.
10.0
Sonny looked after us SO well throughout our entire stay. He organised a bespoke diving morning for 2x adults and with babysitting covered on board for our toddler - outstanding! He also gave us a lift to Tumalog falls when another ride was not available. We loved the pool and the room was super comfortable and convenient to the dining area and garden, all close together. Food was amazing and Sonny even went out early in the morning to pick up ingredients to make yummy banana spring rolls as I had requested these after another excellent review. Our son loved the beach and also the resident animals there and over the road - we will be hearing chicken impressions for weeks to come... Can't thank you enough for your hospitality and thank you to Ben too, our awesome dive instructor!
Not much!

One of the best accommodations so far after having traveled for 3 months throughout South East Asia. It is small-scaled (only 3 rooms), so if you’re lucky you can get one. The fact that it is small-scaled means that the personnel knows you by name, is there to help you 24/7 and makes it feel like it is a private accommodation.
We have obtained our advanced PADI here and we’re taught by a super skilled and experienced instructor (over 10.000 dives), name is Ben, who was really fun as well. We were very sad to leave!
Paradise on earth.
Nothing. It was superb.
10.0
This place is amazing. If you are in Cebu, you must go there. Location is very good, quiet and you can easily reach Canyoneering, whale sharks, port to Siquijor or Dumaguete.
Most of food was super good (omlette and banana spring rolls were amazing). And food prices were unreasonably low.
Staff was vey warm and welcoming. The owner Ericson is very very good guy, who helped us with many things. Also he is super good Diving teacher, who calmly explains diving essentials and you feel very safe when diving. We were not considering to take diving lessons when we booked this place, but somehow I decided to try and was very happy for that decision.
Also this place is better than it looks in a photos.
Wifi could be better. Houses could be cleaned daily without asking.

The people makes the different, in fact our great "Pedro" made us feel like a royal family.
The quality of the villas is very high, clean, comfortably and the food its just perfect. Good organisation to make tours, like the whale shark watching.
Really a perfect place, to come back. No need to go anywhere else, this resort offers it all.
Nothing really, all great! Thanks again.
