La Tortue Diving Resort Dauin

Access to a stunning house reef. The staff were really friendly and accommodating. Unbelievable diving especially the App Island tour!

Would have loved AC, but knew booking it would be missed.

Very beautiful place right by the beach! The staff is very welcoming, friendly and try to help you with whatever you need. Snorkeling right in front of your door is incredible and I also enjoyed diving with my instructor. The hut with 4 beds, was equipped with towel, mosquito nets, lamps and fans for each bed. I really enjoyed my stay! Thank you for everything and see you next time :)

The location is just in front of the reef. A bit of walk from the center, but so worth it. The staff is kind and welcoming. The room was comfortable and welcome cookies so delicious. They have friendly cats and dogs in the venue- good to see some good treatment of animals whilst seeing so many abandoned animals in public places. Overall if you are not a light sleeper, I recomment 100%.

They have regulation to be silent after 21:00 whuch is great, but they should reinforce it more since around 22:00 there were still people around my room listenibg loudly to their phone videos or making calls.

The location is amazing, the showers and bathrooms even if shared are very clean, have soap and shampoo and are highly accessible. The staff is so sweet. But the best is definitely the peacefulness, only hearing the sound of waves crashing. The diving is amazing and so is the dive shop.

The bungalows/rooms are made only of Bamboo so if course you can hear the neighbours but it’s so quiet no one even makes much noise. The restaurant is alright, a bit on the expensive side for what it is, but gets the job done.

Essentially an upmarket backpackers with a really good vibe. Top class dive centre on site and a good restaurant with decent European & Filipino dishes. Accommodation is right on the beachfront and although the site is pretty small, it is comfortable. Clientele are mainly foreign, with plenty of locals using the facilities on weekends, always a good sign.

No ensuite rooms and diving is all shore based except for Apo island trips. However reef is only 100m offshore.

The location, close to Dauin Marine Sanctuary.

There are many mosquitoes, but it’s hard to avoid.
