We stayed there one week in a standard room mostly for diving. The resort is well managed and maintained,(bar, garden and pool really lovely and clean) many different types of room, the staff is very friendly and the restaurant was good even if they have little vegetarian choices. The breakfast is awesome. It's a very good place to stay, but... More

We stayed here for a week after visiting earlier for a meal. The cheaper rooms are small but adequate and probably cool in the hot season. There were two menus, one appears to be more expensive but the food is good. The Sat. fixed price Buffet took us by suprise so we went next door for a meal. Dive Society... More

Completely agree with some reviews here: - not really clean - unprofessional staff - old rooms - expensive accomodation (for what you get) and expensive dives - small pool - bad food - bad beach (ok, you won't find anything amazing in Dgte) ...and unfriendly and arrogant Swiss german owners

Went for a 5 days 4 nights dive trip and stayed over at this hotel. 30 mins away from airport, pretty good to be out of town from busy traffic. Service: Friendly staff, prompt but forgets to clean your room daily unless you remind them. Value: Afford-ably reasonable price. Room is pretty plain and raw, bed is hard and flat,... More

Very relaxing for business traveler. The staff are in the best attitude, and very helpful, the owner is 100% involve in the daily routine which tells me that they care about their business. My first yoga/meditation/karate/mind fixing or I just don't have any clue what kind energy forming the resort owner help me experience. The diveshop Diving Society has the... More

The Eldorado is the worst place we have stayed in the Philippines. The management is indescribably bad; I have never experienced such bad service in all my years of travelling. I would not recommend anyone to stay at the El Dorado under any circumstances. I have written a detailed description below but in short this place is totally over priced,... More

We stayed in a suite, which is a big and rather nice bedroom with a livingroom and a big balcony. The restaurant serve tasty food and the staff is very nice and helpful. We really have nothing to complain about. Still this was not the place for us. My husband who is a diver had two rather bad dives and... More

This is a great resort w/ good surprises. The thing I love the most is the lazy sofa area, makes the whole resort w/ a super nice/cozy feel, especially at night time! Nice decoration is everywhere through out the hotel. I really like the way they have veranda/balcony for every room type, w/ hanging rack and many hangers to dry... More

We were a bit concerned about the issue with security when we booked however the grounds felt very safe. The resort has a great position and very nicely mantained grounds right on the beach and mostly caters for divers in fact there is even a dedicated camera room. The overall feeling is very casual and easy going. Eldorado has also... More
