Comments This is a luxury resort. All the amenities, pools, etc., fine dining looking out over the sea. The diving is excellent--macro and muck in the Dauin vicinity. A thrill a minute--critters like wonderpus octopus and flamboyant cuttlefish on dive after dive. The critters in a class with Lembeh and Ambon in Indonesia, though not the same. For reefs, the day trips over to Apo Island offer some excellent corals and lots of fish life. Small diving groups. Fairly easy diving, not deep, sometimes a current can come up by surprise, though most of the time it's fairly still. Short boat rides except to Apo. I noticed it's a family friendly resort, with interesting looking intro programs for children.
