Luxury in Dumaguete!
Reviewed By Nelly DI stayed at the atmosphere with friends for 5 days - we were a 12 PAX (6 kids and 6 adults). My friends were expecting similar experience as with the Shangri-La, I was not so my feedbacks are fairer! :) The resort is most definitely beautiful, grounds are kept pristine. The 2 main swimming pools were a hit with the kids. Rooms are huge, our bed was very comfy. Housekeeping was OK, but some effort should be made on amenities (for e.g. a 5* should typically provide disposable toiletries such as a toothbrush/toothpaste kit). Food was generally good, varied enough for 5 days but frankly overpriced. If you can, do hire a van/Taxi to go experience food (esp. seafood) in Dumaguete, you won't be disappointed! As for entertainment, the front beach is very nice for relaxing (swimming is rough though ). The resort has a PADI center. Our kids (8-15) got diving lessons with pro instructors who clearly were very good with kids, who had a blast and can't wait to do it again! The bar area was also entertaining, with 1 hour happy hour late afternoon. There is an open gym which is OK. The resorts also organizes some excursions, also grossly overpriced to be frank. Our trip to oslob was not a great experience. Finally, I must say that the service was excellent!. Staff are always pleasant and very responsive to guests' every need. All in all, I would rate our experience as good but not really value for money. But post pandemic, I am glad we did this!

Thalatta Beach & Dive Resort, a resort, hotel, restautant, located 25 kms from Dumaguete, in Maluay, close to Malatapay, Zamboanguita. We are facing Apo Island, one of the most famous diving spots in the Philippines. It only takes 15 minutes to Apo Island from the resort.
The most amazing place
Reviewed By chrisw00druffI came here for 19 nights to rest up and go diving. The diving is superb - I love macro and am a photographer - some amazing critters to photograph. This is probably one of the all round best diving resorts I have ever been to. It’s not the welcome you receive - although that is excellent. It’s not the quality, furnishings, comfort of the rooms - although that is excellent. It’s not the layout of the resort - with cottages around the excellent pool - although that is excellent. It’s not the amazing restaurant and bar with the most extensive and reasonably priced menu - although that is excellent. It’s not the dive centre with modern equipment, excellent training facilities, convenient rinse tanks, storage area and camera room - although those are excellent. It’s not the dive boats with their spacious facilities and shelter from all weather conditions - although those are excellent. If it was just everything listed above you would give this a 4 or 5 - because everything above is excellent. What makes the difference here is the people. The owner - Patrick shows true leadership - is always around during peak times - waves every boat off, greets them back, always supporting his people. The people genuinely care about you and alter their service to suit your needs. Nothing is too much trouble. It is the people that make the difference here. To Patrick and the the team - I salute you all. What you have created here over 35 years is truly special and unique. Thank you

Great fit for budget travelers
Reviewed By James HThe place is perfect for those traveling with a tight budget. As for me, we were wanting to explore the city and the neighboring nature destinations - so it didn't make sense to check in an expensive hotel as we didn't plan to lounge in the hotel. The room rates are budget friendly - the beds and the AC was okay. Room had a tv with cable, but wifi was not working most of the time, but its okay because Mobile data was strong enough as the hostel is within the city. The only issue I have was with the bathroom. It was nice, had a sink, a hot/cold shower and a large toilet. However, the bathroom had a divider on the floor separating the shower and toilet - but the toilet part of the room had no floor drain. So tendency is, if you spill or splash water to the toilet part of the bathroom, it will stay on the floor and would flood the other half. But all in all, the stay was great.

Good location near the port
Reviewed By BlueSkyTravel_DIt's a decent place with warm shower considering price I paid which is about $20 for one night good for 3 persons. It's generally clean. Aircon is dated which can be noisy but with the price you pay, you can't expect more. A very basic hotel good for overnight sleep.

great resort. shame about the owner.
Reviewed By nicc643we had - up until checking out - a good experience here. however, whilst checking out, the property couldnt get their card reader to work, which apparently necessitated a visit from the very obnoxious owner. due to his own property shortcomings, he felt it necessary to harangue me in the reception area over a bill of less than 6 euro. frankly, having worked in hospitality for over 20 years, i found his tone to be off, to say the least. I wont be back.

Just a thirty-minute drive from the local airport (only a sixty-minute flight from Manila), on a long peaceful stretch of beach, lies the lush and luxurious Atlantis Dive Resort. Surrounded by an amazing tropical garden with some of the rarest plants to be found in the Philippines it is just a short trip to some of the most renowned dive sites in Asia - Apo Island, Siquijor and of course the local Dauin Marine Sanctuaries. Want to explore more of the Philippines why visit our Puerto Galera resort
Extraordinary Dive Resort in Dauin
Reviewed By dfmergesI've just returned from my second trip to the Atlantis Dumaguete; the last was about 5 years ago. Since then, the resort is even better than it was before ! I brought a group of 4 friends, none of whom had been here before. From the moment of our arrival at the Dumaguete airport, we were treated like VIPS. The grounds are lush, stunning and meticulously groomed. Our rooms were large, spotless, large and well appointed. Beds were very comfortable. I cannot sing the praises of the Atlantis staff loudly enough. Everyone was outgoing, friendly, kind and very competent. They will all know your name by the end of your first day there. The cuisine at the resort restaurant was incredible at every meal. The dive crew were excellent, with a very special shout out to our dive guide Genie, who has the best eyes in the ocean ! The dive crew will handle your gear for you the entire trip, and even wash it for you on your last diving day. You will dive from the traditional Filipino bancas, large and stable in the water, or from smaller covered fast boats. The dive sites (except Apo Island) are all less than 10 minutes from the resort. Dauin is mainly a macro dive area (aka muck) with abundant small and unusual creatures. BE SURE you make the trip over to Apo Island for a day of stunning healthy reefs, hard and soft corals, abundant fish and some turtles. Bring some small bills to buy souvenir shirts from the women who canoe out to the dive boat at lunchtime. This is a VERY well run resort, with managers Kris and Marco actively "hands-on" and engaging with the guests. The Atlantis is truly a 5 star concierge level experience. My friends and and I are already planning our return trip !

Wonderful stay
Reviewed By kendycandyStayed with the whole family and it was simply amazing. Rooms are very clean and spacious. Staff are amazing, stayed for a week and never get tired of their food. Such a great variety and chef is so nice with all of our kid's extra request. Will definitely stay here again.
9. Pura Vida Beach & Dive Resort

Good location, poor value
Reviewed By Niall ONice gardens, good location, friendly staff. Too much penny pinching and poor decisions by management. Our breakfast was included in the rate but coffee was powdered only. if you want normal coffee you have to pay extra. We were stopped at reception because we had a bottle of Diet Coke on our return. Outside food and drink not allowed on the property. (I am diabetic.) There was no complimentary water in the room (apart from an unsavoury looking plastic jug). Also there was ZERO housekeeping during our 5 day, 4 night stay. Our beachfront villa wasn’t reached by hotel Wi-Fi (though the gave the password for the room Wi-Fi anyway). The safety deposit box / vault didn’t work. Any efforts to have the hotel resolve these issues came to nothing. During this trip we stayed at four other hotels/resorts in the same price range but Pura Vida was massively over priced and was a poor offering.

Great staycation on the beach
Reviewed By nicc643Booked last minute for an overnight to escape the latest brown out, and took advantage of their boat trip to Southern NegOr dive sites which were new to many on-board. Capably managed by the owners Guido and Marevic with a friendly and helpful staff, the food and shakes were great. Room adequate with good water pressure, altho the bed was pretty firm. A pool (billiards) table was a nice addition, altho MacMac is a total pool shark ?
