My stay was absolutely wonderful at this luxurious resort! The diving experiences were unparalleled, especially at Apo Island, which I can confidently say is one of the best dive sites I've ever explored. The accommodations were very comfortable, and the spa offers exquisite treatments. However, it would be nice to have designated smoking areas in the restaurant since that affected our dining enjoyment a bit. Overall, the value for money is exceptional with such great amenities and service.

We had a wonderful stay at this resort, which is perfectly situated right on the beach, allowing easy access for diving. The rooms were spacious and clean, making for a comfortable experience, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The restaurant offered delicious meals with a beautiful view, though I wished there were a broader breakfast selection. Overall, it was a great value, especially for divers, but the pool could be larger.

Our stay at the resort was overall fantastic, with stunning luxurious rooms just a stone's throw from the beach. The gardens were meticulously kept, making for a beautiful environment. The atmosphere was friendly, and the staff were always willing to help. However, we did encounter a frustrating situation regarding towel access for non-guests during our dive sessions. The dive center experience wasn't ideal, as families who weren't staying at the resort faced unnecessary hurdles. Overall, I would definitely return for the beautiful scenery and excellent service.
