Blue Ribbon Dive Resort

Check-in: There’s a steep flight of stairs heading down to the resort. We tried the intercom to ask for assistance, but it wasn’t working. We eventually lugged down our own luggages. Upon checking-in, they only prepared one room instead of my two room booking. It was eventually resolved, but I was scared we wouldn’t have enough accommodations for a few minutes as it was a small resort with few rooms. Room: Pretty basic, but clean. What I didn’t like though was that we could hear the sounds of footsteps from the floor above us and there seems to be some cigarette smells coming in from somewhere. Property: Landscaping could be improved for a better vibe. A few more plants can go a long way. Seeing just a lot of soil looks kinda sad. Common areas are just okay. Wifi connection is on/off, but this is expected in the area. Food: Hit and Miss, I personally recommend the Tikka Masala, Fajitas, and Curries. Serving is quite big, can be shared by two in some instances. For breakfast, stick to the Filipino options or the omelette. I think some of the menu items are a bit overpriced. Dive Shop: Quite good and complete, price is competitive as well among the options in the area. They tend to group divers from the resort into one boat that typically leaves at 9AM. Others: I like that their checkout time is at 2PM, right. Take note that in settling your balance, there is 5% surcharge if paying by credit card. Should have informed us beforehand so I could prepare cash.

There are 101 stairs from the road down to the resort, so if you have any problems with your legs, this place is not recommended. Down somewhat easier, but up.... Worst thing was that owners dogs and cats were all over and that was very annoying. One dog urinated on my bag on the floor at the table while we were eating. What kind of restaurang is this? Disgusting. Otherwise place was nice and staff friendly and professional.

The staff was friendly and helpful, but were talking loudly early in the morning right outside the guest rooms. We loved the deep pool. The roof had a leak and the restaurant menu didn’t have much variety. But the hotel allowed us to use snorkeling gear and arranged a nice boat trip for us. Beware you must be able to climb a long flight of stairs to go to and from the hotel!

Friendly staff, good and big portion of food, free water, coffee and tea. The room is clean and big enough. The diving gear is in best condition. The knowledge of the divemasters is excellent. Im happy to choose Blue Ribbon for my holiday. Can only recommend for everyone.

המלון מרוחק מהעיר, הרבה מדרגות, צוות המלון ומועדון הצלילה מאוד נחמדים, מומלץ למי שרוצה שקט ולצלול

Location of property close enough to Manila. I like that it is small and personalized. Dive was amazing. Instructor and guides were great. Staff were very friendly and the meals were very good. Only drawback is the looooong stairway up and down to the resort. But to someone who is more fit I'm sure it's a minor issue. Thank you, John for an overall excellent stay! We enjoyed it very much and no doubt you will be seeing us again.

It is in a remote spot but nice place for sunrise and sunsets. They live up to their name being a prime spot to learn how to dive.

Amazing sunset view at the bar and dinning area. Cosy; staff are friendly and welcoming! Good Value.
