Escape to Countryside from busy City Life.
My son enjoyed his stay in Aqua-Landia's version of local swing. We noted the Hospitality of every staff. They could well understand the client's need and performs their each duties efficiently. The food was nice and served hot. There's plenty of space to roam inside the resort area and secured. I will recommend this place to other travellers especially to a Family group.

Nice........but not nice.
This resort was difficult to rate. The following summary reflects my opinion. My wife would have less favourable ratings. The easiest way to do this is to list the pros and cons. Pros/Good Aesthetically quite pretty. Located close to Dumaguete and to the boat launch to Apo Island. Nice swimming pool. The food was pretty good in the restaurant but a little expensive. Some of the staff were friendly, others not so. The rooms were quite nice. Showers and bathroom were fine. Air conditioner was a little noisy but worked. There is a diving shop that provides diving adventures. Cons/Bad The resort is not quiet. The resort is less than 50m from the highway and about 200m from the ocean. So instead of the relaxing sound of ocean waves you get highway traffic noise. The resort has a barn yard atmosphere. Roosters crowing day and night, barking/fighting dogs, goats and cows. If crowing roosters might bother you do not stay at this resort and most definitely not in rooms 5-8. The roosters sound like they're in the bathroom. Stay in rooms 2-4. Room 1 is for management. We moved from room 8 to room 2. If we couldn't have made the move we would've left. The roosters were loud. Restaurant and bar close early. Not much to do at the resort. The beach is a 200m walk away but not worth going to. The wifi doesn't work in the rooms but does on the resort property. After all that, would I come back? No I wouldn't.

Hotel was OK. Bed mattress was uncomfortable and not up to western standards. Food is mediocre and expensive for what you get. They offer airport transfer but is expensive PHP 750 each way.Is to far from the city of Dumaguete if your wanting some night life. However the Staff and Manager Alex were delightful people to deal with.

Ok if you want to get away from EVERYTHING!
A pleasant enough looking resort with spacious rooms, but most accommodation in the area is pleasant and spacious. It is not really a dive hotel and is 4km from the best dive operators. The evening meals are basic and average at best. Phones and WiFi don't work in most of the resort except in the restaurant, and then they aren't reliable. That said, staff and management are friendly and helpful and will do what they can to assist. Next time i would stay at Mike's Dauin Dive Resort - better food, WiFi and phones and right on the beach.

A Hidden Treasure
This resort is a bit outside the town of Dauin, but you are not going here for nightlife. The rooms are bungalow style and even thought we had a couple right next door we never heard any noise from the other guests. The food at the resort is very good. And the staff was always accommodating. They went as far as setting up a Apo Island dive trip for us for the next morning.

Not for us!
This property is a series of cottages. The grounds are lovely, and the food is good. The rooms are basic to say the least. The TV did not work, the internet was so slow as to be useless. No telephone, no cell service. The "memory foam mattresses" are 3 inches thick. In the U.S. we call that a mattress topper, not a mattress! There was very little water pressure to shower with. But the worst was the all night long chorus of chickens! Impossible to get any sleep there! We paid for 3 nights, and only stayed 1. 5 minute walk to the beach.

worst experience
This place was horrible. Shower was falling apart. These guys are scam artist. Charged 500 for the "free breakfast". Tried to come to a resolution on the breakfast and they wouldn't budge. Tried to call management and got no answer. There are plenty of other places to stay that actually care about your satisfaction. These guys only want to scam you for money. 1 star at best. Nice pool but don't be surprised if they charge you to use it. Don't believe what they say on the phone. They get you when you leave. I would never recommended this place and warn all who stay to beware!

Great staff and food
This is an excellent resort from which to visit Apo island. The island is about 40 mins by boat from the resort and Ron will organise it at 1000 peso per person for snorkelling. Highly recommended. Food was excellent as we're the staff. We stayed 4 nights over Christmas 2013 and it was a great choice.

A nice relaxed place with diving on hand. Good tasty breakfast and some nice options for the evening - with a good pool. Maybe too relaxed for some, our airport pickup never arrived but life's too short to fret...

Response from Ron on 9 Nov 2013
Thank you for your review, the resort is located 14 kilometers south of the Robinson's mall in Dumaguete in the small city of Dauin. We are 5 minutes from the Dauin Marine Sanctuary and beaches. Private Taxi and van service costs p700 per trip. However, public transportation is available at p35 per ride and pass the resort every 15-25 minutes. Scooters are also available to rent for p300 per day in Dumaguete.

Relaxing getaway
This place is beautiful, the grounds are small, but the rooms are big. Best showers we've ever had in Phil. Rooms open out onto the pool/bar area, which is well maintained. Staff is incredibly helpful and friendly. They can arrange any activities you want. Dauin is not the most happening place, but they have a nice market on wednesday. Actually, we rarely left the resort because it was so nice and relaxing. the pool and the rooms are clean, they have a great cook, I can't recommend this place enough.

じっくりとダイビングに取り組みたい合宿チーム向けリゾート
周りには海しかありません。モールはおろかコンビニもATMもありません。トライシクルも通りません。待ちから隔離された、ダイビングにのみのめり込めるリゾートホテルです。部屋はひろびろですが、コンロがないので自炊はできません。

Décevant
La chambre grande mais le nettoyage vraiment léger. Il y a une cuisine mais en arrivant, on nous a clairement interdit de manger dans la chambre ni dans l hôtel ! Et en plus le restaurant n'est pas terrible. Rien pour étendre serviettes et maillots.. des détails certes. Pour organiser nos sorties,.. il suffit de se débrouiller, personne pour nous aider. Meme pour faire appeler un "touk touk", on nous suggère d'aller au bord de la route et d'attendre un bus, il y en a toutes les 10 min (je précise que nous avons 3 enfants en bas age). Globalement, L’hôtel a du potentiel mais le gérant ne semble pas très investi.

静かな森の中のコテージ
静かなホテル環境ですが，近くにレストランなどなく少々不便、ホテル内の食事はメニューも少なく 短い滞在向き、昼間ダイビングで出掛けていましたので、食事は殆ど他のホテルや周辺のレストランで取りました。若い人には物足りない環境、但し予算を安く上げるには良いかも？

素晴らしいバンガローホテル
ドゥマゲテ滞在の６泊のうち前後4泊しました。前の2泊でも口コミを投稿しましたが、総合的に見て素晴らしいホテルです。ただバスアメニティはバスタオルと石鹸ぐらいしか有りませんので、それは料金を抑えているからだと理解しました。それと料金の精算にクレジットカードが使えません。後は泊まってみてホテルの良さを味わってください。是非前の口コミも参考にして下さい。

心からくつろげる空間。
ホテルの環境は抜群。国道から少し離れていて夜でも騒音が気にならない。ただ朝夕は周囲で飼育しているニワトリ、実は闘鶏用の雄鶏のコケコッコーが姦しい。でもホテルはそんな事を差し引いても素晴らしいの一言につきます。部屋はバンガロータイプで5棟10室のみで部屋は大きくて贅沢過ぎるほど。ポーチの横には藤素材ソファが2脚とテーブル、それに昼寝用のベッドも付いています。勿論部屋の中にもソファとテーブルがあり、ベッドはキングサイズ。大きなクローゼットも備え付けられています。トイレとバスルームも使い勝手が良いです。 ただバスアメニティは最少限度でバスタオルと石鹸、シャンプーとリンスしかありません。フェイスタオル、歯ブラシ、歯磨き粉、髭剃りの用意は必要です。でも宿泊費を考慮すればそれも当然かと.... 全てのマイナス面をカバーしているのがスタッフです。雑草が一本もない芝生は専属のスタッフが毎日人力で手入れしています。その他のスタッフもみんなフレンドリーで笑顔を絶やしませんが、きちんと節度を持ってゲストを気遣ってくれます。 私は来年の春に長期でドゥマゲテを訪れますが、今からこのホテルを再び訪れるのを楽しみにしています。 追記: 国道から５０メートルほど入りますが、初めてだと見つけにくいです。時々停電しますがそれもまた一興です。wifiは有りますが、勿論停電の時は使えません。水も出なくなります。それを全部合わせても絶対おすすめのホテルです。

Service impeccable mais trop de coqs autour
Nous avons passé 5 nuits dans ce resort pendant le mois de juillet 2014 avec notre fils de 3 ans. Comme c'était la basse saison et qu'il pleuvait régulièrement (mousson), nous étions seul ou quasi seul dans l'hotel. Pour autant le service n'était pas au rabais et le personnel toujours prêt à nous aider. Malgré la pluie, nous avons beaucoup profité de la grande piscine qui était très propre. Notre bungalow était très confortable mais hélas situé à coté du poulailler du voisin. Et les nombreux coqs qui chantent à 5h du matin, c'est dur en vacances... Un conseil, demandez un bungalow éloigné de ces bestioles.

Adresse à retenir
Désireux de faire un peu de plongée sur Apo Island, nous avions réservé quelques nuits via Expedia.fr. Cet hotel mérite réellement une fréquentation plus importante. Nous avons été très bien accueillis par nos hôtes Suzan et Christian (couple allemand-philippin) qui s'occupent de vous sans en faire de trop. Le personnel est également charmant et soucieux de votre bien-être. Les 14 bungalows sont superbes : spacieux, très propres et parfaitement entretenus, avec air conditionné et ventilateur et une grande terrasse. Et ce qui est plus rare, tous les bungalows sont équipés de nombreuses armoires et d'un frigo. Au centre du magnifique jardin, vous pourrez vous reposer au bord de la très belle piscine. Question restauration, la qualité est excellente. Le petit-déjeuner est vraiment très bon, varié (choix entre filipino, american et continental) et accompagné de fruits frais (les mangues étaient délicieuces !). Seul point négatif, l'hotel n'a pas d'accès direct à la mer; vous devrez emprunter un chemin à travers un terrain non-entretenu pour arriver à une plage de galets.
