Pintuyan Dive Resort

Personal feel Although we did not get to see any whale sharks due to environmental factors beyond the resorts control. We were met by the staff with smiles and checked into our room immediately. once we settled in our room we went to sit and enjoy the ocean side and were met by Ralf the owner. he along with all the staff were very welcoming and informative as to the diving activities and gave us a personal tour of the resort, I noticed he does this for all guests. the food was excellent and we enjoyed the group meals together. It was a nice way to meet the other guests. the dive guides were excellent and dive boats were a nice change from the usual Philippine dive boats. The kitchen staff were all so friendly and helpful, and caring. When we left they all came out to say bye. Pintuyan Dive resort is a very personal experience. We didn't feel like we were just a customer, more like a house guest with friends. We will definitely be recommending Pintuyan Dive resort to Friends and Colleagues.

The owners and staff were great! All of the guests were friendly. The room and food was great and affordable! The staff really couldn’t be any more helpful! Unfortunately we didn’t see the whale sharks on our 4 tours but hey that’s fishing! They did see them a day or 2 before but we are told this part of the season (December) is not so good any more due to the lack of food sauce for the whale sharks. We will try again a different month.

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!

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.

Sehr gut ausgerüstetes und organisiertes Tauchresort in dem sich Gäste wohl fühlen. Walhai Touren ohne Anfütterung mit Respekt vor den prächtigen Fischen.
