Blue Ribbon Dive Resort

We stayed at BR for five nights. It’s definitely a good dive resort. We are snorkelers who snorkeled every day. The beach is pretty rocky so wear water shoes. The food was good. Lots of selections, and a very good selection of breakfast foods. We ate there every day. I would recommend most of the items we had, except maybe the Ceasars salad, the dressing was strong for me. And have your bread toasted if you get a sandwich. The beer was very cold. Good shakes. Ice bucket was provided if asked for. Two great waiters, Justin and Zed. The room was small, but luggage fit under the bed. We spent a lot of time on our balcony which was fantastic and overlooking the bay. Very comfortable chairs and table. That’s where we spent our time if we weren’t eating or snorkeling. Dave the front desk guy was very helpful. He helped me pay a bill from our last hotel that got overlooked by using g cash, which I do not have. The staff was great. Be prepared for a workout with the stairs, but the staff muscle helped with heavy luggage. Anilao town a ten minute drive. Paid cash at the end cause credit card reader wasn’t working. I thought our last bill was very reasonable. We ate and drank for five days and it was about $110 USD. We enjoyed our stay.

First time there, and not the last one! First scuba diving over there and it was great!

The location if front of corals for snorkeling (free to borrow equipment) The firm and confortable bed (very important) The food from the restaurant (rare to find good food in dive resorts but this one surprised us) The big room, nice to have space The cable TV The staff, very nice

No internet in the room!! That’s really something to change. The only strong signal and correct internet is from the restaurant. It’s not too expensive to have a better system to send strong signal everywhere. The bathroom needs renovations, the water stays in the shower and the humidity is bad for the wood around. Good insulation between rooms but none on the roof in metal and fruits were falling all night making noise.

The resort is very comfortable and clean! Staff are very friendly helpful and good at what they do. I thoroughly enjoyed my time and will definitely visit again. I work in Manila so it is less than three hours from Manila to the resort.

Perfect location to relax and have a dive. Excellent and super friendly staff!

None, I hope you can have more rooms available for a bigger group.

It was an amazing trip. I am a new diver and the staff went above and beyond to make me feel safe and comfortable. This whole experience was great and I look forward to a continuous diving spot.

Room was fairly big and bed was comfy. Great breakfast included and amazing restaurant on site. Extensive menu and staff even changed it to accommodate my dietary requirements. They had free water. They also gave me a surprise cake for my 40th birthday which was lovely of them. The staff were very kind and helpful from the moment I booked to when we left and arranged to share transfers to save us money. Dive centre is excellent (some of the best guides we've had) and just downstairs so didn't have to go far. They had all the fish books if you like knowing what you've just seen under the sea.

The shower couldnt maintain one temperature.

staff and dive team were very helpful and accommodating :)

the steep stairs leading to the hotel, quite a workout!

A simple diver resort, which conveniently does single dives in the afternoon as well as double dives in the morning at a reasonable price. We have visited the area several times in the past, in this resort we did not feel particularly well, including after the dives (the reason is hard to pinpoint, may or may not have to do with the resort). Room 1 had some half-dead cockroaches crawling around. Otherwise, the dining area on the terrace is nice and serves good local dishes, including coconut-based curries. The aircon is not particularly strong but can cool the room down to 22-23C. Wifi is not bad most of the time.
