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!

Mike’s Dauin Dive Resort is a small Hotel and Dive Centre located in Dauin, just 20 minutes south of Dumaguete on Negros Island. Our twelve rooms beautifully are only meters from the beach, as is our lagoon pool complete with waterfall. Our aim is to provide you with the highest quality holiday and diving experience and our comfortable size means we can provide you with a relaxed and intimate resort atmosphere. Most guests board our custom built Banca boats to dive or snorkel the stunning paradise of Apo Island only a short ride away. This premier dive site is one of the oldest and best managed marine sanctuaries in the Philippines. Expect large shoals of fish, many sea turtles and spectacularly colourful coral gardens. Closer still are the dives at Dauin, which are recognised as some of the best macro-photography sites in the Philippines with the chance of meeting Frogfish, Seahorses, Flamboyant Cuttlefish and the famous Blue-ringed Octopus.
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.

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 !

We believe in expressing a "one team" attitude, with a sharp focus on winning and achieving results, meaning satisfied guests.
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.
5. 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.
6. Liquid Dumaguete
Overall Ratings

Our resort has been designed with the modern traveler in mind and we pride ourselves on offering excellent facilities and service at a very reasonable rate. All accommodation at Liquid are in the form of individual beach front cottages, set on a secluded section of beach in the Barangy of Bulak, Dauin. Our 1KM winding access road takes you away from the noise of the highway and makes it hard to believe that we are only a 20 minute drive from Dumaguete City. Featuring 2 outdoor pools, Liquid Dive Resort is located in Dauin, 7.8 mi from Dumaguete. The resort has an in-house PADI dove center, a coffee shop, a restaurant with a poolside bar, and a games area with pool table. Liquid Dive Resort offers PADI courses from beginners to professional level. Snorkeling and land tours can also be arranged upon request. Dumaguete Airport is approximately 9.9 mi from the property. We speak your language!

Very organised and safe, decent prices
Reviewed By TombraideriiI am a professional diver and always search for the right combination of safety, service and price. This dive centre ticks all the boxes. Jinn looked after us from the start with helpful information about the dive trips. Kim the receptionist made everything super easy for me including paying with PayPal. The boats are huge, clean with fantastic boat crew. Veggo options for lunch and the food was great! For you Apo Island trip they include breakfast and lunch so it’s such great value. Our guide was a utter legend- Ray. An expert macro hunter with a very relaxed vibe. It was spectacular diving and I saw so many critters I didn’t even know existed. After you dives hang out and play some badminton or some cheap, cold beers. There’s hammocks and lounge chairs too. Very highly recommend!

Set in bamboo designed rooms to give comfort and relaxing feeling while enjoying the beauty of cold breeze at the beach. We provide 2-bedroom cottages comes with Wi-Fi in all units and a small restaurant to dine in.
Right on the beach
Reviewed By DaveJJenkDirect access to the beach with superb snorkeling 100m down the beach. Lovely to sit out on the beach in the evening for dinner. Good variety of food and drink available. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Easy walk into town.

Very good place. No Wifi available

Nice, quiet place but service can be better
Reviewed By MJ9713The place is nice, the salt water infinity pool is beautiful. It's quiet. The two small pools however were dirty, and so was the CR. Also the service could be better. We had to ask for things twice. One thing I didn't like about it is that the only vegetarian option for the day package guests is a bland pizza margherita. A day package is 600 php per person, which is more than at most resorts in Dauin. And those other resorts offer a better variaty of vegetarian options.
