The accommodation is good. The staff cleaned the room every day. I did some diving there as well, the diving guides are friendly. I like the terrace and the garden. There is limited WIFI in the room, other things are all great They will move to Anilao this year. Can't wait to visit them again.

The ac unit did not work very well luckily had fans in the room to keep cool would have been nice to have a plug outside to turn a fan on and sit on porch I would not recommend to a friend.

Hotel right on the beach

Very nice friendly staff, beach and town were not to my liking. But hotel room was very clean and staff very friendly.

For the diver on a tight budget, this might be ok, but was less than desirable for the casual traveler looking for quiet, relaxing and clean. The shower was a trickle, bed had sand in it, and was kept awake by drunk loud divers. I will say the food was pretty good.

perfect spot in Puerto Galera

Attendant was very grouchy and unprofessional. We weren't attended to nicely and they respect foreigners more than their fellow countrymen.

renovierungsbedürftige Unterkunft

Zimmer sind renovierungsbedürftig, das Wasser vom Pool war grün und milchig, wir haben daher auf ein Baden darin verzichtet. Die Bilder der Homepage vom Blue Ribbon Dive Resort sind nicht aktuell. Es gibt keine Liegen am Pool. Wir mussten nach einer Woche umziehen, da das Dach mitten in der Hauptsaison vom alten Bungalow neu gemacht werden sollte. Der neue Ausblick unserer Terrasse war auf die Wäscheleinen des Hotels von den Handtüchern. Es wurde den ganzen Tag in der Anlage gehämmert, geklopft, usw, da das Zimmer neben uns renoviert wurden, ein entspanntes Lesen eines Buches auf der Terrasse war nicht möglich. Das Bad war eine Katastrophe: Alt, verschimmelt, dunkel, keine Badablage, alles verkalkt, Duschvorhang zu kurz, ... Leider spiegelten die Bilder des Hotel nicht die Wahrheit wieder, sonst hätten wir hier nicht gebucht.

Blue Ribbon Dive

Puerto Galera exists for the diving and there is little reason to go there otherwise. I can't comment on the diving aspect of the hotel but the rooms are a disgrace and not suited to the basic needs of the modern traveller at this price point.Our room in Manila at the same cost (and well located )was like a palace comparatively.

We were put in another (not so nice) place the first night due to double booking. We were moved to blue ribbon the second day and the rooms there were great. However think we should have been offered a discount for the first night as the standard of that place was really much lower. The Diving masters and instructors were great, very helpful and professional. Would dive with them again if I would go back to sabang.

Bom hotel

Se vc gosta de mergulhar, esse eh um otimo hotel. Entretanto, pra quem gosta de praia, a mais proxima fica a uns 20 minutos de moto. No geral, o hotel eh muito bom, otimo atendimento, bom restaurante, boa manutencao.

value for money , well run resort

only booked for a few nights online just in case. Stayed with my wife and two young children and some relatives. great position on waterfront, new pool being built, lovely outlook from the restaurant, good selection of food, no complaints on quality or freshness, nice bungalows in a tropical setting. this not 5 star, but for the room rate, you get more than other resorts on the island and it has a great atmosphere. At nights with live local bands and excellent staff tentative to your needs Primarily a dive resort , but just as good for a stay if not into diving.We so much enjoyed our few nights that we stayed for an extra 4 nights

Good value

The resort is improved compared to the last time I stayed there many years ago. Staff were very friendly. Would just suggest that they not wash the towels that are hanging up to save water.
