First of all, I have very little right to complain because I chose to travel on a tight budget. But still, did Liberty (she’s the owner) really have to leave me on the port of Malatapay even if I got an email confirmation from her and I arrived ON TIME? I had to fend for myself and look for a... More

We stayed here for 2 nights. Our room was quite small for the price and even though the price included food, this didn't include drinks and I thought overarll what we got was expensive for the price. The room had character though, great view and the restaurant area is nice. Many items on the menu are good, but some not... More

I spent five days here in December whilst doing my PADI open water and found it a completely charming place. Apo is a paradise island that doesn't have all the mod cons so if you are looking for a 5 star hotel with all the amenities then this isn't the place for you. What some people called disadvantages (lack of... More

The location is fantastic the lodge is set with a beautiful seaview as close to the beach as the rocky underneath allows and if you go in the water the snorkeling is fabulous. We were here five nights and snorkeled every day for several hours. Just snorkeling we saw turtles, barracudas, octopus, lionfish, anglerfish, parrotfish and many different angelfish and... More

Great diving at very good prices. Beaches are not very good for relaxing/sunbathing but there are a bunch of beautiful turtles that swim around within 20 feet of the shore. Restaurant is o.k. with wonderful views. We stayed in a deluxe room just above the dive shop. The power goes out pretty regularly and it can be difficult to sleep... More

If you expect white sand beaches and a lot of comfort, do not go there. The ride with the boat to the island is already ruff (do not pay more then 600 - 700 pesos for one boat ride or book with the hotel in advance). If you book it on the pier, it is a lot more expensive. The... More

If my wife and I were not reviewing a dive resort, our rating would be lower. However, this resort is one of only two on the island, and the inconveniencies of the location are not much endure when you consider the fantastic diving. Also, since boats don't travel to the island at night, staying on the island is the only... More

awesome location, awesome people! stayed here for 5 days and completed our PADI course, couldn't have asked for a better location. the marine reserve is amazing for snorkelling and well monitored. the village is very cute although you do worry how it can be sustained and hope Apo doesn't become overrun by tourists. Grace from the hotel was super friendly... More

We have just returned from 7 days here, & cannot say enough good things about it all! From the happy staff to the pros at the diving shop, it was a great experience. If you prefer the luxury of a 5 star hotel, this may not be for you. If you are looking for spectacular diving, friendly people & good... More
