The owner is very friendly.
As the hotel is located in the middle of local "villages", where many roosters, dogs, other animals and small children live, there is always a lot of noise around the clock - even at night. It is of course very hot on site and there is not even free water to drink. You have to pay for every bottle and not too little. I have never experienced anything like this in 20 years of diving vacations!!! Everywhere in the world there are at least water dispensers. ABZOCKE! Some of the food is very good (fresh fish etc.), the "imitation" European dishes are strangely seasoned and take some getting used to.
The diving center has not been well maintained for a long time, there is little space, the current diving instructor is impossible, the boat is further away due to low tide, i.e. you first have to make a hike across the beach, then knee-high through the water, until you are picked up by a small motorboat to get on the dive boat....very unpleasant. Most of the reefs are totally destroyed, you can't see much and you are also ripped off in terms of price, as there are suddenly fees for every dive, which are not mentioned anywhere! There is also no house reef, you can't even go swimming or snorkeling from the hotel...

We personally would not book this resort again. The accommodation is quite basic. The water in the shower was very, very weak and cold for the first two days. In addition, my husband and I were ill and couldn't dive. The dives were booked and paid for in advance, we received a voucher for them, which is of course very accommodating and our friends were also able to take 2 dives from us. However, there were only two of them and therefore some dive sites were not visited, which was of course a disadvantage for both of them. I suspect that this was also due to the guide, who was very unmotivated. In our opinion, he should not be working in a service profession.

Hello dear diving friends, we were in December 19 10 days on Leyte. All in all we enjoyed it very much! This resort is very well suited for divers who want to dive first and foremost and do not want to lie on the beach in between. You hardly meet other dive boats at the spots and therefore you can really enjoy the spots in your own small group! In the small nice restaurant you can sit together afterwards. Most of the guests are divers, so we had a lot of fun there in a great diving group. The bungalows are nice and clean (unfortunately no mosquito net!) and the service is good. The kitchen is absolutely recommended. What you should perhaps mention for those seeking peace and quiet is that you live there quite close to the "main road" and the resort is located directly between settlements. The locals are always in a party mood, so it can be quite loud due to traffic and loud music. We didn't mind that, but maybe you should know that. All in all, you can have a great diving holiday there and in between you can go on great trips around the island by moped or tricycle (very funny by the way!) and of course you can relax perfectly!
