Ocean Villa Dive Resort - Tulamben

Amazing place, the staff is extra helpful and kind, the owner was always making sure we were comfortable and trying to suggest nice things for us to do, and not things she sold, just honest advice. She has also built an wonderful garden. Steven, the divemaster took us in amazing dives that looked almost like we were alone, with his experience he managed to keep us away from the crowds. Overall it was an amazing experience.

I would like maybe if there were more diverse food options in the restaurant. The existent ones were very good but not many diversity for vegetarians

When we arrived we were greeted with smiles, orange juice and friendly conversation. Throughout our stay here all of the staff were extremely helpful and friendly and happy to assist with anything we needed. The room was clean and comfortable. Food was delicious. The grounds including the pool were immaculately maintained. Dive centre guides were very knowledgeable and highly skilled. We came as guests and felt like friends when we left. Highly recommend staying here, cannot fault. Will definitely visit again.

Nothing. We didn't have enough time here.

All the staff where so friendly they treated us like we where family made sure we where comfortable and felt welcome during our stay

Could not fault the stay

Steve the diving instructor was great and very helpful.

The room was very large and had a decent workspace. The staff were very friendly, and the service was excellent. Breakfast was included and met my expectations. They had meals available upon request which was made easy by simply charging these to your room.

The bed was not comfortable and as I have a bad back, this was unpleasant for my needs. Apart from that I had no other issues whatsoever.

Perfect spot to be within reach of the Liberty wreck and coral garden drop off. Very friendly and accommodating owner and staff. Additionally, Steve Watkinson, the resident Padi Course Director was simply exceptional and helped us get back in dive action after a 6year long pause, with patience and humour!

The hotel is set back in a quiet street which I liked because others that are directly on the main street definitely get a lot more noise. I had a room upstairs with a balcony and with great sea view and sliding doors. I could watch the sunrise every morning. If possible go for a room with sea view. It’s georgeous. The room is equipped with the necessary equipment – though lighting is a bit dark at night. Tea and coffee facilities as well as a bottle of water are provided. There is a narrow desk so I really was able to get some work done. Internet is really good. The bathroom is quite big and I always had hot water. As to the bed, it was really comfy to me because I like firm mattrasses. Pillows are often an issue this is why I sleep on a folded towel – works for me. What’s great for one is hell for others. The garden and the rest of the premises are lovely and tended by the owners and staff around the clock. There is a small refreshing pool with some loungers. Breakfast was included in the price and I was able to choose from various dishes on the menu. I had dinner twice in their restaurant and it was really delicious. If you want to go diving – this is your place. There is an onsite diving school. What I also liked was the fresh breeze at all times – I never got too hot. All in all, I would definitely stay there again because the family is lovely and they really try their best to please you.

My room was not the cleanest but after I had reported the issue it was taken care of. There are at least 4 housekeeping people sitting around a lot. They really could be put to better use to keep up the standard and to stay competitive. In the evenings until after midnight there are beach parties of some sorts which one can really hear from the upper rooms. Fruit portions at breakfast could be a bit bigger – they are really delicious but gone in a flash. A little well-meant advice to the owner: People know that there is a diving school on the premises. It is written all over. But some people might just not like being approached several times about going diving with you. It might put off the one or other. All these little hickups would not keep me from staying there again and from rewarding 9.0 points.
