Group of 21 Divers - Great Experience
I brought a group of 21 divers to the resort for four days. It was a great experience! The rooms are really nice and clean - very comfortable for crashing after diving all day. The food was really amazing. We had the meal plan and the portions were generous and the food was really fantastic (the whole gorup commented how good it was). There was a great menu offering Philippine/Asian/American dishes. Diving was really well organized and left from in front of the resort each day. If you are going there for diving, you know how special it is! Logistics including a local tour were handled for me really well! The cocktails are really good there as well with two bars to choose from. Bottom line - expecially if you are leading a group - I would not hesitate to stay here at all. Really great overall experience!

Our time aboard was nothing short of incredible! The vessel was so comfortable and well-provisioned, and the crew was exceptionally attentive and kind—always anticipating our needs before we even voiced them. Every dive felt seamless, with the dive crew ensuring our safety and comfort, no matter the conditions. The dining experience was also outstanding, with well-organised staff and perfectly timed meals.
