Dauin hotels

Pros: The hotel is infront of the sea and near of the market

Pros: It’s right on the beach next to the coral reef Easy to find Kitchen

Cons: One of the staff ( the girl who did my check in ) is borderline rude, at best unwelcoming. I e tended twice and often she will seat in the office with the window closed and on her phone not acknowledging anyone . The dorm is not cleaned every day and showers are not the cleanest either. Mosquitoes net are too small for the beds ! Kitchen is often a mess as staff cook the meals for themselves or for the diver on a day trip but do not clean after themselves straight after despite signs to. Keep the area clean ! Part of the kitchen can not be used by guests

Pros: The location is right in front of the beach which was great to wake up to or just to relax. The staff was so friendly and helpful and the environment was so friendly too. As a solo traveler it was easy making friends and hanging out with people.The are many restaurants around should you not want to cook in the kitchen but I liked how they had a kitchen to use. The accommodation also has its dive shop on site and the instructors were great to dive with

Cons: There needs to be more than two shower rooms I think for the number of females that can stay at the accommodation.

Pros: Beach, home reeff.

Cons: small rooms, nothing but beds.

Cons: Surprisingly quiet and relax place. Comfy cottages come with even two hammocks. Clean bathrooms. Exceptional stable and fast wifi. Lovely trip to apo Island. And yes, snorkelers are welcome

Pros: wonderful place at the beach, peaceful and pleasant

Cons: no private bathroom

Pros: The staff is very friendly and prepared: they organized our snorkeling tour for Apo Island for the following day, they suggested an amazing place to snorkel very close to the resort (Marine Sanctuary, literally 20 meters off the shores of their beach), there were always complimentary coffee, tea, baked sweets available for guests and a kitchen that we could use whenever we wanted. The showers have hot water and are very clean. Close to the resort there is a good traditional restaurant (Dauin Dive Café).

Pros: Really nice place, loved the hammocks and everything was superclean. Free coffee, tea and drinking water available

Cons: In the dorm I wanted to sleep at the upperbed but the whole bed went trough the floor... So the bunk bed is not for heavy people like me. Next day they had a private bungalow free so I changed room. We just had to pay the difference, so no double charges. Very good service !!

Pros: Direct access to the beach with superb snorkeling 100m down the beach. Lovely to sit out on the beach in the evening for dinner. Good variety of food and drink available. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Easy walk into town.

Cons: Noisy at the weekend with neighbourhood karaoke. The sad looking feral dogs in and around the property.

Pros: Nice position,breakfast and dinner, the people are friendly, the place near by the sea, hot water for shower

Cons: There is a bar around hotel, it's a little bit loudly at night sometimes

Pros: I stepped out my room and I was literally touching the sand of the beach. The place was very clean, nice and the beds were comfortable. The staff was super friendly, very nice people and kind. The food in the restaurant was great too, and we rent our scooters there for a good price.

Pros: Stayed here already once a week. 11 months ago. Great again. Really nice.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: I love the stay, very relax place jut in front beach. Restaurante on the local, many dinners seeing the sunset

Cons: The bathroom sink could be bigger

Cons: Hello Ceazar's place I tried to contact you by email since the 24th of December about a cancelation due to the thypoon. Here is my Ref n° 2592751249. Sorry for the bad review but I have no choice since I haven't received any answers to my 3 emails. Please contact me.

Pros: The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was really good especially the taco salad. The staff went to every effort to make our stay pleasant. The beach was clean and practically unpopulated. You could walk along way before bumping into anybody. The pool was clean and well cared for. The resort was being as “green” as possible. There were no plastic straws, cloth napkins in the restaurant and refillable water jugs in the room rather than single use plastic bottles

Pros: Love this place. So relaxing, beautiful, great food, great staff.

Cons: The toilet did not flush well and the shower head needed some fixing. Just some maintenance items they need to address. But overall the property is kept in great shape

Pros: On the beach and had a pool

Cons: Prices were a little high

Pros: it is clearly one of the better resorts in the area, very well-designed. the staff do try hard and are very pleasant

Cons: the wifi is wholly inadequate and advertising that it is available in the rooms is technically correct but practically not at all. in the common areas it is also inadequate. no security for valuables in the rooms

Pros: Mikes is a verz relaxing place. Great for amazing dives at Apo island. Everything was awesome. Staff was extremely nice, made a huge effort to make my dive in Apo island happen since that was not enough people for a the trip. Facilities were great and the relaxing vibe of the place it was awesome after a long day of dive. Will def come back!

Cons: Nothing. all good

Pros: The staff was super friendly and the food was great! Thanks for great tour to Apo!

Cons: Bed was a bit on the stiff side, otherwise fine.

Pros: Friendly british staff. Great trip to apo island. Big comfortable room.

Cons: Restaurant was not good. Stuff didnt really care about their guests. I recommend to eat in restaurants near by.

Pros: Great variety of breakfast choices. Good food in the restaurant. Very friendly staff. Safe in room for valuables.

Cons: No phone in the room to call front desk or other guests. Room towels could have been better. Somewhat pricey.

Cons: People around the are are nossy my drone got broken when a woman disturbed me now I have to fixed and it’s very expensive

Pros: Excellent service provided by all the staff - from the reception to the restaurant, housekeeping and even the airport transfer driver. I was wowed! in every expect. Great breakfast options. Also, the Garlic Chili Shrimps from the restaurant is a must try!

Pros: Great resort in Dauin. I stayed in the twin bungalows which were located in the garden at the back of the property. Quiet and beautiful. Rooms were clean and the terrace was really nice place to sit out on in the mornings. The service from the women at the front desk was the highlight of my stay - they were kind, friendly and extremely helpful. I used Sea Explorers (the dive school in Pura Vida) and they were excellent too. Less than 30 mins tricycle from Dumaguete port and 45 mins from the airport. Will stay again when I am next in Dauin.

Cons: Some more vegetarian options on the menu would be welcome for variety.

Pros: Place is nice mostly white people check in

Cons: It’s over price nearby hotel is 3x cheaper not easy to fine and quite a drive from the city, also the food is way expensive

Pros: We liked everything food quality superb the attention to detail fantastic

Cons: The resort was lovely immaculate grounds, staff and service fantastic

Pros: Staff are very friendly. They made my family from Poland so happy. They are very accommodating.

Pros: Staff is very friendly and the typical Filipino rooms are gorgeous; very beautiful garden.

Cons: The sand, being mixed coral-volcanic is quite dark (however the beach is nice). Food was good, but a bit too elaborated without any reason, as the good feature of Filipino food is to be very simple and healthy.

Pros: It's a small and quiet property...clean and well maintained. There is a small "beach" (altho i doubt that one can lounge about there...) and a rocky shore (only the shore!) but the sea is great for swimming. Food is okay. Very helpful and friendly staff. Guides on the boat to Apo Island were great.

Cons: The family rooms are a bit far from the restaurant and pool. No network available for SUN/Smart. Globe network minimal.

Pros: Very peaceful location. Affordable dive trips. Clean rooms. Friendly staff.

Cons: Atmosphere is off. Remote location. Small beds.

Pros: The room was clean. You can take a hot shower. Air conditioning works well. A towel for the beach is prepared separately for use in the hotel room.

Cons: The dinner menu is not good

Pros: very clean , nice pool ,good room with very nice poolview and balcony !

Pros: Staff were very helpful, friendly and competent. Grounds and pool spotlessly clean. The resort has its own boats for dive and snorkelling trips to nearby Apo Island. Divemasters were very professional,

Cons: Only a small thing, the TV reception wasn't 100%, some pixelation at times, but not often.

Pros: most important the place was clean. The room location was described as being an ocean view but it wasn't. It was sometimes difficult to find someone for the front desk although they do tell you to check at the restaurant. It was nice to have beach/pool towels available, the welcome drink was much appreciated after traveling quite a few hours. Staff was helpful, food choices limited and a bit higher but that is usual. Unless you have a vehicle, you pretty much have to eat on-site. No outside food/drink allowed at the pool or restaurant. Would be nice to at least allow water. Room had a new refrigerator. They seem to be very organized for diving and have good facilities for such.

Cons: A room as described when booked. Could have used another pillow. Our room required the room key to have electricity (our family in another room didn't have this restriction) so couldn't charge our items while at the restaurant unless we left the room unlocked (only 1 key provided)

Pros: The best accommodation in the Philippines we had in the Wellbeach Dive Resort. Kindly and helpful staff, very good welcome drink, tastes breakfast. The pool was clean and with good water. The apartment was luxurious - with air conditioning, wide bed, fridge, television, wifi, modern bathroom with warm water in shower (our first warm shower in the Philippines). Thank you for everything!!!

Pros: A great place to stay excellent diving team good dive sites

Cons: New year eve, absolutely no effort, no entertainment, nothing at all. Very disappointed for an extremely expensive place. Shame so much potential. The owner just doesn't care we have heard.

Pros: The resort is ok, but far away from the center and without any communications. The room was acceptable with air condition, good service but the bathroom was not complete and the problem was solved with water pile in the room.;

Cons: Better communications with the center.

Pros: so many differnt meals, European, BBQ,, Chinese, Pizza, and and and best MaiThai ever the typical not european architecture soo lovely personal the massage was relaxing the hotelareal was very clean the shuttle service was excellent

Cons: The steps to the beach are damaged in our room the aircon was old and very loud some rooms are very new and clean but some rooms has to be redecorated

Pros: Lots of comfortable lounge areas, great staff and refreshing deep pool. The grounds are attractive and the restaurant serves very good food. Cable TV, mini fridge and good aircon.

Cons: The standard room is only 12 x 12‘, including very tiny bathroom with toilet and shower. The sink and hanger area are in the bedroom and also tiny. No drawers or shelves for clothes. Just enough room for the bed and to change clothes

Pros: Staff and gardens and facilities

Cons: Food

Pros: The staff are very friendly and accommodating

Pros: Fruits and unlimited fresh milk and coffee in the morning.

Cons: The bed, the blanket, the pillows. The pool is not well-maintained. I can feel the dirt at the bottom part of the swimming pool.

Pros: Breakfast that was included with the room is sufficient. The service staff was great, from the restaurant all the way to the guys that will help you with the tour although I didn't book any of my tour with them, i thought it was a bit on the pricey side so I searched for my own tour.

Cons: Pricing on tours was ridiculous, nearly double of what I paid for outside of the resort. Same as the shuttle service although it was ideal to get the shuttle when arriving, it is literally 3x the price so if you're able to book your own, I suggest that you should. Pricing on the restaurant is the same, 3x in comparison to outside restaurants and there are plenty of restaurant. The entrance road to the resort can use some work but it is not as bad or even intimidating to walk through it even at night, cellphone flashlight is enough.

Pros: The greeting was great flannel and fruit juice also fresh fruit to snack on whilst we checked in very nice touch. Menu very broad which was good local and multi cultural choices

Pros: It was a bit of luxury after a long trip

Cons: The beaches were filthy, and the litter was never collected, check out was poor, accused of using stuff from the mini bar when we hadn’t, and followed out of the hotel, a bit weird and not very 5*!?

Pros: Clean , comfortable , warm and friendly staff

Pros: The food was good but expensive. The dive centre seemed excellent (but over double the price of others in the area). I can't speak to their services though as we ended up having to go to another dive shop as we'd been told that the Apo island trip wasn't running on the days we were there (although a look on the dive board indicated otherwise).

Cons: Very overpriced rooms and food. Also any additional requests (ie drivers/ trikes) were quoted almost 3 times more than the normal prices. For the price I would have expected much nicer facilities, and much better service. As has been my experience in other locations in the country. Instead, I felt nickled and dimed at every opportunity.

Pros: Food was amazing staff greeted us by name every time we went to the restaurant or bar

Cons: Driveway needs some work

Pros: Staff friendly, beautiful garden s, nice food

Cons: Could hear occupants in room above

Pros: The staff and the pool

Cons: the noise that came out of the bathroom drain when there was a rain storm in the middle of the night

Pros: None

Cons: Customer service

Pros: Awesome snorkeling spot called 'Sanctuary' located right in front of the resort. Motorcycle rental - useful.

Pros: Great staff and great view of the ocean. Spacious room with large verandah

Pros: The room and the pool were very nice. Nice spot in between Dumaguete and Apo island to explore the area.

Cons: There’s practically no beach and the “natural reserve” is of limited interest. It also takes 30min if you rent a scooter to go to the city. Staff was really nice but overly present. Diner was good in itself but timing and service are really poor.

Pros: I don't like the location of the property.

Cons: too expensive for the room

Pros: The room air conditioning was very good. The balcony view was better than expected. The restaurant food was very good. I took full advantage of the onsite scooter hire and they were well maintained.

Cons: No sandy beach in the local area. The booking.com website describes it as right next to the beach but it is not a sandy beach it is a pebble beach. It would have been nice to spend some of the relaxing time on a beach local to the property.

Pros: The bed extra large and comfy

Cons: Our room was a bit far fr the restaurant

Pros: Beautiful room with the WOW factor Lovely pool and excellent food (which was also good value formoney) Room and surroundings were clean Gardens beautiful Professional staff most of the time

Cons: Experienced too many restrictions, e.g. was not allowed to move the sun loungers at the pool to face the sun or to put ones head in the shade of a tree. Prohibited from bringing in own food and/or drink (understandable) but when requested a drink during the mid-morning was met with huffs and puffs because bar was not open. Consider this unreasonable in 35 deg heat. During a party of ‘walk-in’ guests, the walk-ins took over the restaurant and pool and resident guests were ignored. Very poor. Requested assistance with booking a ferry due to being unable to receive WiFi in some areas in the resort and was advised the staff are not allowed to help with such requests. As a seasoned traveller around the world I was absolutely amazed at this poor customer service. Ground floor Exec Room needs more insulation to prevent noise from above. Not pleasant to hear ones neighbours every move! No beach.

Pros: Food was great! Room was very comfortable.

Cons: Not a good cross section of guests. 90% Chinese guests.

Pros: The beaches are very nice

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Fantastic property, room was clean, spacious and had everything you need. The staff were wonderful and made our stay nice and easy. Food was plentiful and delicious

Cons: The shower water pressure in room 27 was a little weak (usual in the Philippines, but Room 30 shower, upstairs was great). Foam mattress was a little hard

Pros: Beautiful place and very nice pool.

Cons: The beds were a little hard, but apparently that's usual for the Philippines

Pros: a nice place with diving shop. clean n quiet enough. close to the high way, but not so close to the dauin market. easy to get the beach. all the staff are very kind n with warm heart. I would like to living this resort again

Pros: Pool.... air-conditioning was good....

Cons: Room was with ants all over the place...so dont keep any fruits there or anything sweet...and also staff didn't explain anything at all.... thank god owner was a good person and very understanding....respect for that.

Pros: Awesome facilities. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Thoroughly enjoyed the in-house massage service in the comfort of our own room.

Cons: Nothing much to see outside the resort. Would have to resort to public transportation if you are looking for more food/restaurant options.

Pros: The bar and hotel staff were very friendly

Pros: quiet and beautiful environment nice and helpful staff

Cons: a little far away from main area only one quilt for each room

Cons: Kitchen close at 8 and not enough help to run kitchen

Pros: nothing really, but have to say on our last night, we see new staff around, the lady looks like manager here, get thing effectively, and breakfast arrives on time.

Cons: 1. facility sucks, telephone is broken, we had to call through our own phone to reach front desk, no room amenity, looks quite poor, not mention those lovely small creatures :); 2. staff is not really helping, as we are told repeatly to turn right and wait 5 mins to get hot water which actually need to turn left and keep the right one switch off otherwise it will be freaking cold, under this situation, my friend got sick as taking 2days cold shower; the FD staff are not even trying to come to our room and check with us; and after we said we had no hot water 2 days, we need to wait for another day to have their eng team back to check, and we have to take shower in diving shop to have hot water; 3. breakfast is not tastety, can only choose one of four style, no mix up, and have to wait longer than reserved time; if the food starts to cook after we appear, whats the point for reserving the time; 4. the resort is located inside the alley while the road is not flat and constructed well, we try to ask if possible can we have some transportation to take us to nearby national highway, (for walk like 7 mins, for motor like 2 mins, 20 php normally); while we get reply like the only they can do for us to call their own van, cost starting from 1000php, :), i know the price in hotel is high, but that high?! i cannot see why it calls resort, just near sea?

Pros: Would never go there again or would I recommend to anyone way to experience stayed at places half the price and better

Cons: Service

Pros: The pool was above expectation. The building was a quaint colonial style. Great position on the beach. Restaurant menu could be more extensive, we chose to eat down the Beach. Breakfast was a good cooked breakfast.

Cons: The limited menu at the restaurant and the tables were all round large tables or tables for 4 outside, would npbe nice to have more assortment for solo and couple travelers.

Pros: Nice pool

Cons: There was hardly any food available in the restaurant and the small amount that was there was served cold and absolutely tasteless and the shower in the room the floor was dirty very average place def not worth the 4,200 peso

Cons: The place nice and peaceful

Pros: Nothing.

Cons: The receptionist, the food service, the rooms, many hidden fees, the pool (had some itch in my skin after swimming), false advertisement on services (the room description says there is a washing machine in the room we chose, but there isn't one. The bathroom was clogged. They also said they will assist with activities like snorkeling, but they didn't. They weren't even helpful even just in giving recommendations on how and where we can snorkel. We had to contact Pura Vida, the nearby resort so we can rent snorkeling gears). It was a bad choice of resort in Dauin.

Pros: Chicken soup. The hotel was doing renovations. Pool was closed no restaurant available had to go to other resort to eat.

Cons: Resort under construction pool closed restaurants was closed

Pros: Nice big room

Cons: Bad service and location

Pros: Nice location at the beach,beautifull designe and very peaceful. The staff was helpfull and nice.

Cons: My boyfriend got foodpoisened after the breakfast and they did not offer a settlement,the airconditioner was uncontrollable and the showerbeam sprayed the hold bathroom down with no possibility to change the showerhead possition. The bed got invaded by so many ants we had to call the staff. The restaurant closed up at 8.pm,a little to early.

Pros: Great pool, big room, very helpful and smily staff. Possibility to rent a scooter to the hotel. 5 min from a marine sanctuary by scooter.

Cons: A little bit far from everything by foot, and some insects in the room

Pros: Nothing to like.

Cons: Total uncooperative when I had problems. They ripped me off for 100s of dollars. I will never do business with them again.

Pros: The staff were helpful in finding alternative accommodation

Cons: We didn't actually stay as when we arrived we were informed that they were fully booked and had a technical error. They offered us a room in the dorm but there wasnt any aircon and it was way too hot not to have it
