Mario's Scuba Diving and Homestay

L’emplacement, la nourriture proposée excellente, le personnel. On est à Apo Island donc on se contente de peu.

Il y a de l’électricité que 2h par jour mais c’est partout sur l’île, il faut juste le savoir.

Lovely people, good and varied food at the restaurant and a comfortable room.

Because of increased fuel costs they decided to reduce the time for electricity from 4 hours to 2 hours...not enough time to charge everything or read and lights went out at 8:30 pm. If I had known what kind of 'dive boat' they had I would have never booked. It was basically a board with outriggers - very poor, uncomfortable and somewhat dangerous. Other divers made similar comments but said nothing to staff. The ocean water is filthy. Four people I met who were diving there developed ear infections. I dipped my cleaned mask into the water at the dive site resulting in an oily gritty film that affected my vision during the dive and took 3 cleanings with dish detergent to remove. I made the best of it by getting to know people in the village on daily walks. I stayed 5 nights and left 5 days early. Luckily my diving elsewhere in the Philippines more than made up for this poor dive experience.

The staff were really nice and helpful in every way. It was easy to order meals, every day a new list of meals to choose from. They had the food ready when you came back from the dives, really convenient. You could get vegetarian food as well. They were also really flexible with the dives so that was a big plus. :)

Like at every part of the Philippines there are roosters crowing in the early morning/night. Although there are a lot of dogs on the island so sometimes around midnight we had a dog barking right outside our room and it could take some time for the dogs to go quiet.

Our stay was incredible! We had a beautiful, spacious room with everything we needed, including the running water. The staff was genuinely kind and attentive, but the highlight was definitely the food—we had lunch, dinner, and breakfast, and it was hands down the best we’ve eaten in the Philippines. Simply outstanding!

Le centre de plongée et son personnel

Le manque de collaboration de la personne en charge du service à la clientèle. Je n’ai pas pu obtenir d’avance ma facture qui cumulait nos repas et boissons de la semaine pour vérifier l’exactitude avant de payer. Il y avait en effet une erreur en leur faveur, mais trop tard pour faire corriger, le paiement par WISE a déjà été prélevé.

Apo Island une petite île a ne pas manquer si vous voulez voir des tortue 🐢 Draps propres.

Salle de bain très minimaliste.

Personnel très accueillant et a l'écoute de nos besoins. Je recommande aussi la plongée dont je félicite l'encadrement globale
