The owners of the resort are very accomodating Ralph and Annalyn.They allowed us early check in and allowed us to use their boat to go to Limasawa Island for a minimal fee.Love their dog.Parking was far.The resort sign was not easily visible to travelers.The location is tranquil and beautiful.It is a diver's paradise.The pool should have a sign how deep is the pool for visitors safety.
We had a very pleasant, although short, stay at Pintuyan Dive Resort. We are not divers, but wanted to try to see whale sharks in a more natural and ethical setting. After researching several other resorts, I chose here based on its proximity to where the whale sharks are often found, the ability to go on a whale shark watch any day of the week (was told by some other places it only possible on certain days), and due to the ability to go with just my husband and I if needed (some places required minimum number of people- or allowed for very large groups, which we also wanted to avoid), as well as the good reviews for the resort. They were responsive by email ahead of time to answer all of my questions.
We were very happy with the decision to stay here. It was such a beautiful area, and very quiet and peaceful. The room was spacious and had everything we needed. The food was very good, and there was a large menu of items to choose from. The owner, Ralf, was very friendly and welcoming, as was the rest of the staff. We were able to enjoy snorkeling right in front of the resort. And we were fortunate enough to get to swim with a whale shark on the watch we took, which was such an exciting start to our time in the Philippines. Even without, however, we would have enjoyed our stay here. Highly recommend!
An absolutely superb dive resort. I thoroughly recommend it to divers and non divers alike. The staff were attentive and professional. The location, amazing. The food was better than anything I could have imagined, and I’m fussy! As a dive professional who has experienced a fair amount - I would say this is the best place I have ever been.
Thanks to Ralph and the crew. Looking forward to seeing you again.
Fantastic dive resort! Ralph and the crew were so extremely nice and welcoming. They really went the extra mile to make our stay and dives amazing. Rooms were clean and comfortable, restaurant was excellent, and the whale shark spotting tour was unforgettable (we swam with them 5x in one tour!). We highly recommend this resort to anyone looking to swim with the whale sharks in Sogod Bay and/or dive in the area.
Stayed for 4 nights and enjoyed every minute of it
. You could snorkel 30 m from your bungalow. The whale shark trips were a succes, saw them on both trips. Fantastic experience. Breakfast and dinner both very good and the owner couple made me feel very welcome. Not much to do or see outside the resort, but if you snorkel or dive, you won't be disappointed.
