In april 2013 I’ve spent three weeks in the Philippines for a diving trip. I went to three different Islands (Malapascua, Negros and Cebu Moalboal) and this turned out to be one of the best trips I’ve ever made. Looking back I must say that the best place to stay and to dive was Amontillado Beach & Dive Resort in... More

As diver I am looking for a quiet comfortable environment with relaxed diving. Visited the resort earlier this month and enjoyed it very much in all aspects; really value for money. All staff is very friendly and help full. The resort is spacious, has a big garden (and no mosquitos) with a nice pool and is located at a quiet... More

The location for diving is beautiful. The staff is friendly, especially the waitresses. The beach-houses are not bad. The promised warm well-water never materialized. But the whole place is a tad overpriced and the extra's we ended up paying every day were annoying. We had pre-payed the holiday, but ended up paying extra for minor stuff. For a boiled egg.... More

First of all we would like to thank the reviewer for his kind words in the beginning of his review. Some of his more critical statements i would like to reply to below: - Overpriced. This is always open for interpretation and often there is a relationship between price and quality. And quality is often more expensive. Apparently the reviewer... More

I hereby would like to react to the statements of the reviewer: Expensive diving: The reviewer is obviously a price-concensious traveller. And I agree with him, that our dive prices are higher than for some other Philippine resorts. But there is generally a relationship between price and quality. And if one is willing to accept lower standards in comfort and... More

Resort: The bungalows are 2 under one roof, with a nice veranda and hammock. Rooms are ok, bathroom is pretty outdated, bathroom towels are just old. Rooms have no ceiling fan, only a small standing fan which makes them very hot at night. You can leave the window open but it feels a bit unsafe at night and there are... More
