Dive Batanes Lodge and Restaurant

Staff were wonderful, attentive, accommodating. Had a wonderful stay.

Mabuhay! I stayed at Dive Batanes Lodge for three nights last March, and it truly made my Batanes trip more memorable. The check-in process was smooth, and what made the experience even more special was meeting the owners themselves—they’re the ones running the reception! They’re a friendly couple who made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. The lodge has a pool, which is rare and refreshing in this quiet part of the country, and it’s just a few steps from the beach. Waking up to the sound of the waves and having a dip either in the sea or the pool—what more can you ask for? They also serve a good breakfast every morning—simple, comforting, and just what you need to start your island day. The room amenities were on point: clean, comfy bed, good water pressure, and everything felt thoughtfully put together. If you’re heading to Batanes and want a stay that feels both local and personal, I highly recommend this place. It’s not flashy, but it’s honest, warm, and exactly the kind of space that lets you soak in the magic of the island.

Very nice and clean accomodation, staff were excellent, special mention to Ate Ning and John Carlos. Thank you! It was a great place.

Wonderful place to stay while in Batanes. Staff and owners are beautiful people.

Near the beach

The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Husband and wife owners are both hands on in making our stay as comfortable. They gave us tour of the entire premise and allowed us to choose the vacant room of our liking. Food is a mix of American and Filipino foods. Tour packages were offered and explained. Property always kept clean. Lots of services available per request including tricycle ride to town, beauty salon referral was satisfactory too. Sound of ocean splash a plus no need to A/C. The sound of the nearby rooster by 5 morning could be a plus for early morning risers to jog by the seashore. Would recommend this place!

Located just 5mins away (by tricycle ride) from the town proper of Basco, this resort offers you all the peace and quite you want for a relaxing vacation. It's also just a 5min walk from the Chanarian Beach and marine sanctuary. The place has two separate buildings with rooms for accommodation. The main building houses the reception area, a restaurant, and a lovely swimming pool. The second building, on the other hand, located closer to the main road, only has rooms. The resort would have been great, except for some limitations. First is the lack of a WIFI signal (limited to the ground floor of the main building). Second is the limited list of food and drinks on the restaurant menu. Third is the difficulty in commuting from the resort to the town proper of Basco. On the other hand, worth-mentioning is the extraordinary kindness and hospitality of the place's hosts and helpers. They feally saw to it that we had everything we needed. The rooms are also very comfortable, with an AC, a private toilet/shower room, hot and cold water, and a TV with cable channels.

Staff as well are friendly and accommodating. Kept the room clean everyday during our stay. Doug, the owner, prepared a superb dinner. Cons: no phone signal and internet connection inside the room even at the terrace. Our flight back to Manila was cancelled, I called them to pick us up back to the hotel and responded quickly.

My fiance and I stayed a week here rooms are very clean and comfortable. The staff always great you with a smile and were always ready to help. Our flight got cancelled so we had to stay an extra 2 days. We called them and they came right back and picked us up at airport. The owners are very friendly and went way beyond making us comfortable we felt like part of the family. Highly recommend staying here. Joe & Jenny Pierson
