Magic Oceans Dive Resort

Ух полная трата времени. Им следует повесить спереди табличку с надписью: «Гости не приветствуются». Ушел с дороги, чтобы осмотреть курорт и пообедать там. Менеджер Ева даже не позволит вам потратить деньги и поесть. Худшее гостеприимство на Филиппинах. Им следует поставить знак перед главной дорогой с надписью. Не приветствуется, уходите, чтобы люди могли сэкономить время.

Amazing experience. Hotel and dive staff were great, ensuring we had a great time. Scuba operation is super well organized, safe and clean steps away from boat and bungalows. Full board was great with options to accommodate taste and preferences. Nothing fancy, but very good food. (Staff: Lee Ann is a rockstar! Safety first and super vision to identify macro life)

We had the most excellent dive trip to magic oceans. The dives were over the top amazing. The staff was so nice and accommodating. The resort was clean and beautiful. The food was excellent. We can’t say enough good things about this place. We didn’t want to leave, they made us feel right at home. My favorite part was coral gardens. Breathtaking diving, you just want to stay down forever.

Simply put - this was the best ever Philippines experience that we have ever had! The resort is first class, the people are excellent, being friendly, kind and always giving you their best. The food is amazing and all tastes are catered for, as for the accommodation it is so comfortable, welcoming and so well maintained, it's like a home from home. Ok so getting to the core of the trip - the diving! I have never been in a better place with better diving, it has so many wow moments, it is truly incredible. If you want a superb Philippines holiday with brilliant diving then look no further.

A well-designed resort with a free-form pool surrounded by individual thatched "cottage-style" accommodation. Rooms are large with plenty of shelf/hanging space for clothes and hot water showers. The balcony also has a drying rack to hang out wet gear. (A door mat at the front door would be useful to help prevent skidding on the tiled floor). Meals are at communal tables but guests can eat at single tables if they wish. There is plenty of food throughout the day, mostly Western dishes, with a large menu to order from but we did find the food a little "same-ish" (meat or fish in a sauce). It would be nice if a few more local Filippino dishes were in the selection available each night as there wasn't really time to order one off the menu at lunch time and then go diving again. The bar is a great place to meet before and after dinner to chat away with other guests and the bar staff produce a selection of cocktails, some of which are quite potent and make for a merry evening. All the staff, from the serving staff to the gardeners, housekeepers, receptionists, dive staff and boat crew, are friendly and keen to ensure you have a great time during your stay and if you ask for anything they will do their best to get it for you. The dive centre is spacious and the dive boats are very well laid out with plenty of seating, and space for cameras and dry gear in the middle. The rubber-covered steps and handholds along the outriggers on both sides make getting out after a dive much easier than having to hang onto a rope and the dive staff are there to help you out if you need assistance. Our dive leader, Lee Ann, had an expert eye for spotting more unusual creatures and indulged us whilst we ferreted around on muck dives, on one pointing out three Wonderpus - how she even knows where to look was beyond us! There is a virtual certainty of seeing a frog fish on each dive! There are also many large turtles who seem totally oblivious to divers and happily swim around allowing photographers some great shots. The coral around the area is in excellent condition and the soft coral walls are absolutely beautiful to dive - Coral Garden is an absolute must. Our first night dive was amazing: squid, cuttlefish, morays, lionfish, tiny frogfish, nudis and crabs galore. I love muck diving and there was plenty to see in that category although I would have liked to have found a few more of the unusual nudis which other visitors have spotted. Reason to visit again in the future! We did a day trip to Canumantad Falls which was fun, albeit an expensive tour from the resort. Note that cars are not allowed to drive right to the waterfall so one is driven there on the back of a motorbike, which takes 5 minutes. We took a picnic lunch and ate that overlooking a nearby rice field in a small cafe before returning to the resort. We drove back via Anda beach to visit a "cave" which turned out to be a small underground pool open to the air so you could jump in if

A fabulous dive holiday!! Friendly, attentive staff: everyone knew my name from day 1, which is especially important for a solo traveller. It’s a beautiful resort, with comfortable accommodations, with everything you need. The dive centre is well-equipped. The dive staff are friendly, professional and helpful. The diving was magnificent. A photographers Mecca! The boat crew and guides so helpful and knowledgable. The grounds were immaculate, the pool sparkling. Meals were delicious, beautifully presented and served. I loved the communal seating and made many new friends during my stay. It happened to be my birthday while I was there - it was an amazing all-day celebration, including my room being decorated, and culminating with an amazing birthday cake at dinner. I really hope to return one day soon. I highly, highly recommend Magic Oceans Resort.
