I booked a week's dive holiday at this little resort on the advice of multiple friends and I was not disappointed. The resort is located on a little patch of heaven with the sound of waves crashing on the shore. The rooms are equipped with a large bathroom, aircon and comfortable beds. The food is made to order fresh and delicious. I was very impressed with the professionalism of the 2 DMs I dove with during my stay. A half hour boat trip to Apo Island gets you to some of the best diving you will ever do. So many turtles! The Aqua House reef is great muck diving with so many unique and interesting critters.
The facilities are impressive and the staff is top shelf who go out of their way to ensure your comfort. The resort animals are friendly and super cute, too. Chae (resort owner) was an absolute gem - always checking to see if I had everything I needed. The attention to detail could not have been any better. I would recommend this place to anyone and I will definitely be back.

The owners Sean (Aussie) and Chae (Korean) couldn’t be nicer or friendlier. Chae was also extremely helpful during all email correspondence.
They have a lovely set up in Acqua. The resort was once a colonial style house. There are 7 rooms, 2 upstairs sea facing, 2 downstairs sea facing and 3 others that face out the back with no view to speak of. The gardens are immaculate and have numerous types of chairs, beds, even a hammock, etc dotted around - it’s like lounging in your own beautiful garden around a large and very clean pool.
The staff are always smiling and very helpful. It is a little strange that they ask at breakfast what you want for lunch and dinner, but as it is such a small resort, I guess they have to order in. Also, by ordering your dinner before 4.30pm each day you qualify for a free evening drink, so it’s not so bad!
Most of the food is of a high quality and the portions are very generous, we had trouble clearing our plates most evenings. The only thing that really wasn’t good were the french fries, really over cooked and greasy, but maybe the chef was having a bad day!
The dive centre, although small works well and the staff appear very professional and helpful. Our guide Esmail was great, spoke very good English, had a good sense of humour, but best of all was a great spotter of the critters.
Would thoroughly recommend Acqua if you like a small, homely place to stay.
Thank you all for a lovely and memorable stay.

Great experience and excellent diving. Chae and her team make your stay a real pleasure. Diving with Mitch is excellent, very professional, friendly and accommodating to your needs and abilities. One of the closest locations to APO with a very good boat crew, on a very well maintained and clean boat. Easy booking at a fair price. A day out diving feels very well planned and organised. We've stayed at other places along the Duin coast but this is the best for snorkelling & diving!
