Luxury in Dumaguete!

Reviewed By Nelly D

I 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!

Wonderful stay

Stayed 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.

Extraordinary Dive Resort in Dauin

Reviewed By dfmerges

I'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 !

great resort. shame about the owner.

Reviewed By nicc643

we 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.

Food is excellent. Beach has coral reef for snorkeling. Pool side is excellent. Stay is excellent. Just that there is no wifi and bad network signal. The road going inside is rocky. Would go back again soon. Highly recommend. Just fix the wifi.

Lockdown

Reviewed By Angeldelight55

We were originally staying next door , when the Covid19 virus sent everything in to lockdown, we were unable to get back to the UK. This resort has close ties with Pura Vida Beach Resort next door, so we were asked to transfer over to a 1 bedroom apartment, it was amazing, full working kitchen, huge bathroom and bedroom. You can walk across and use the restaurant at Pura Vida or there are several bars with restaurants within walking distance if you do not want to cook. There is a local market for fresh fish and fruit and veg , again within walking distance. There are 2 swimming pools one is more a pool for doing laps in, the other is a pool bar. The resort is directly on a beach and if you like snorkeling there are many places that you do this from along the beach. The maids come 3 times a week and do a light clean plus once a week they will change sheets and towels for a small charge. There are guards onsite to ensure your safety, but we never encountered any trouble. Reception was extremely helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Although our stay was forced on us by the pandemic we wouldn't have wanted to stay anywhere else. If you like the Condo style holiday I can highly recommend this resort.

Quiet and Serene...

Reviewed By Raisa Athena B

My partner and I stayed in this resort for 2 nights and 3 days. I was a bit worried because weather was not so good and on the day that we got here, I realized that it was far from the beach. Nevertheless, we had a good experience here because it is away from the buzzing noise of the city. Food is average but loved the Fish Gratin! The water in the swimming pool is freezing though... But we loved the spaciousness of our room! Our stay in this resort really allowed us to relax and as well slow down. Quiet and serene.
