With some time on my hands, my resort of choice was Liquid Dumaguete, located in Dauin about 16km South of Negro Oriental’s main town in the Philippines. Long-time friends Tim & Zoe, had expertly managed the Exotic resort in Malapascua before buying a plot of scrub land by the beach and realising their dream by designing and constructing a ‘flash...

We had an absolutely great experience at Liquid. I particularly enjoyed the family atmosphere and the collective dinners. The people are incredibly friendly and the staff is great at making everyone feel like they were staying with friends - just with better service ;) The resort is somewhat remote from other POIs though. So just spontaneously checking out the area... More

We spent 7 nights at Liquid and did our OWC as well as a couple of extra dives there and had an awesome time! The resort itself is beautiful and well maintained, the staff is super friendly and the food delicious. One thing we particularly enjoyed was the family style dinner each evening. It is a great way to get... More

Spent the last weekend at Liquid, and had a wonderful time. When making the reservations, their representative answered all my emails and responded usually within only minutes of my inquiries. The resort staff are friendly and helpful. Facilities are clean and well kept. Food was delicious. I enjoyed their family style dinners, as gave a nice chance to chat with... More

Thanks Tim and Zoe for building this magnificent platform for those who want to have a vacation away from bland city life. It's a truely eco friendly environment, most of buildings are non-concrete, with a pristine swimming pool at the center of the resort. I'd been spending 5 days in Room 8, which is the furthest one away from the... More

Excellent food, impeccable service from a team with a real community spirit and a vibrant atmosphere in which both divers and non-divers blend into a harmonious whole are the key features of this Liquid experience. The Canadian influence in the cuisine makes for delicious and varied food; this is enhanced by the extended family, all of whom contribute to the... More

I spent 4 nights at Liquid, and I would rate the accommodation food etc 5 stars, but the diving (what is main reason for many people to stay there) max 2 stars. The resort is very nice, with a great swimming pool, extremely friendly staff (even for Philippine standard) and great food. Rooms are very simple but ok and for... More

My contrarian side would like to tell you that all the raves for Liquid Dumaguete are way overblown and it's actually kind of pedestrian. But I can't do it, We spent three nights and thought the place was quite brilliant. Our cottage was spotless, comfortable and attractive. The verdanda had a decent view of the ocean and looked over pretty... More
