Fantastic Dive Resort - tucked away with gorgeous views. We went here because we had just finished our PADI certification, and wanted to do a lot of diving (and had heard bad things about the whale sharks in Moalboal). We could not have been happier that we ended up here; we ended up doing 8 dives with Jeff, who is the resident dive master. He was super helpful and friendly and so knowledgeable - he pointed out so many things we would have missed otherwise if we were on our own. There were so many great dive sites, and we would just go based on his recommendation. The shore dives were also fantastic, and the corals are beautiful. We saw so much, including loads of turtles and a sardine run. The hotel and the food was great too, and they had a well stocked bar. We ate most meals at the hotel, and there was plenty of variety. There is also a really cool town nearby, called Panagsama, which is really cool (15-20 minute TukTuk trip away, which the hotel would sort out). All the staff at the hotel were fantastic, and really made the stay, Narissa especially so. We stayed in the honeymoon suite, which had a roof top deck and chairs where you could sit out with uninterrupted views of the entire coast. The hotel are also really responsive on email, and Michael (hotel owner) answered all of our questions - directly worth reaching out to them and booking directly. Michael was also a great guy to have around, highly entertaining! All in all, fantastic stay and would absolutely recommend. If you want to dive, this is the place. One thing, which is not necessarily issue, there is limited phone signal, and the Wi-Fi is pretty slow, so if you are trying to work a bit or stay connected just be aware of it (its still manageable, but not for zoom calls or anything like that). Perfect if you want to completely disconnect.
