Pintuyan Dive Resort

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.

L'etablissement est incroyabement bien tenu, en front de mer sur une plage de galets, les requins balaine sont dans la baie juste devant. Le restaurant de l'hotel est pas cher et vraiment bon. Tout est vraiment parfait, le cadre est idyllique. Sachez juste que les paiements par carte sont soumis à une charge de 5%. Prévoyez des de l'espece car la facture en fin de séjour oeut etre salée entre les excursions, le snorckeling, le scuba diving, le resto etc...

Fuímos aquí para ver tiburón ballena pero sin muchas expectativas con el buceo y nos vimos sorprendidos por un sitio muy muy bien organizado para bucear y supercómodo. Los horarios se iban haciendo según las preferencias de los buzos. Es la primera vez que vemos esto en un centro de buceo y nos parecía increíble que Ralf pudiese organizar todo con tanta eficiencia y tan a medida. Unas auténticas vacaciones para disfrutar del buceo y unas agradables sesiones vespertinas de charlas interculturales. Cenábamos todos juntos en un ambiente distendido, hemos conocido gente maravillosa y hemos disfrutado muchísimo estos días. Tanto que no nos queríamos volver. La comida bastante buena y variada. Las casitas espartanas pero con todo lo necesario y con ropa de cama y toallas limpísimas y que olían como en casa. El buceo muy bueno, con mezcla de arrecifes y muck diving. Había de todo. La experiencia del tiburón ballena maravillosa: tuvimos la suerte de poderlo ver solo un día pero durante mucho rato y prácticamente solos, gracias a que nos dejamos aconsejar por Ralf para evitar las masificaciones. Según nos dijeron la mejor época para ver tiburón ballena es febrero y marzo. Tanto los guías como los capitanes de los barcos hacen un trabajo fantástico y gracias a ellos pudimos disfrutar muchísimo la experiencia. Mi especial agradecimiento a Mario, nuestro guía de buceo porque además de enseñarnos todo lo que había debajo de agua, estaba pendiente de todo y me ayudó muchísimo con los problemillas que tuve con el material. Esperamos poder volver pronto.

Ihanan idyllinen paikka, jossa vieraat otetaan lämpimästi vastaan. Valashait kruunaavat paikaikan. Turvalista sukeltamista.
