The hotel is aimed purely at divers and large companies, not demanding comfort. For people who love convenience, of course, it will not do, I think you can choose other, more comfortable hotels. But the beauty that can be seen in the sea will cover all the disadvantages. And excursions by oxen into the jungle, and a mule ascent to the crater of the volcano, and a waterfall located near the hotel, where you can walk without problems on your own... a lot of things can be listed. Russian Russian-oriented cuisine is probably the only one on the island, and the only three Russian people on the island who know how to make your vacation unforgettable! Huge greetings to Max and Oleg! The review is delayed for almost a year)))
It is located on the beach, there are sun beds. Towels are provided for relaxing on the beach. The rooms are clean and quiet. Modest but cheap rooms. The washing kits are updated every day and towels are changed. There is a Wi-Fi connection. They cook very tasty in the restaurant, they eat every day.
We swam with the Aquanaut Diving Center, with the support of the DELUNA Diving Center in the Philippines on the island of Mindoro in Puerto Galera in February 2020.
What can I say- A mess, in a word.
Our club was provided with information about the size and necessary equipment for a month, upon arrival we had to report everything again, since no one knew anything and not everyone who arrived had enough equipment, some of us had regulators constantly leaking air or poorly screwed to the cylinders. Those who managed to choose, it's good for them, the rest got what they swam with. Ekaterina seemed to help in solving the issues that arose, but she did not make any decisions.
There is no clear understanding of who to contact specifically, one gives out equipment-Ekaterina, the second records cylinders with nitrox-Andrey and Ekaterina, the third tells about dive sites-a guide.
It says on the diving center's website that they work with the latest equipment - I didn't find one here, there aren't even computers and buoys for rent!!! And without a buoy, for example, it is impossible to surface in Sabang, since there are many boats floating and you can end your life right there!!!
We were told - the day before to inform Andrey if a nitrox balloon was needed, the first day we swam in the air, on the second we already took nitrox, in the evening after diving it was said - always with nitrox, in the morning we came-but nothing was ready, so we constantly had to wait. One dive boat was without a toilet - this is the first time I've seen this. Be patient, comrades, as you wish))
We clearly knew where we were going to swim in Moscow Time-it was written on the website of the Aquanaut diving center and Marina, our ideological inspirer, told us everything, but upon arrival everything changed, the instructors distributed the dive sites differently, everything would be fine, but we found out about where we were going in the morning on the day of departure. That is, there is no precise plan and a clear understanding of the dives. Nightrox was scored against us with great reluctance, always a different%, although in the Maldives everything was clear-32 and 33%. I was also outraged by the fact of communication with Andrey - he was surprised that we did not have a gas analyzer and why we did not know how to fill in the data on the nitrox cylinder... We only checked the data on the cylinder using a gas analyzer earlier, when we learned to swim on a mixture of nitrox and put our signature, if everything is correct, but to buy equipment.... This is too much! In addition, Andrey asked us for certificates, although they did not reach the Moscow Time, we reported this and gave data from other certificates so that he could find it on the network, he did not like it very much, he showed it to everyone with his dissatisfied appearance, it was very unpleasant for me, besides, we submitted data about certificates in advance, before arriving in the Philippines. Further, the cylinders with nitrox were never ready on time, we had to wait constantly. In addition, I was outraged by the fact that these were simple cylinders, without special markings that indicate that this is a mixture of nitrox, I doubt that they were properly treated from the air mixture, as well as regulators for them, they were not changed for us)) But we were told about the ignorance of MOD, although there is a computer that calculates this value..... On some cylinders there was an inscription in English nightrox, for the sake of fairness it is worth saying.
.....meets all PADI and Philippine Tourism Association standards..... I would bet!!!!!!
And finally, Nilo was our instructor, he spoke English - to my shame, which I do not know, but they promise us a Russian-speaking guide on the website)) But it's fair to say that Dmitry told us about dive sites and everything was clear. Nilo- thanks for diving!

The numbers are dead. Small. The conder rattles like a steam locomotive. The bathroom-toilet is loose. A sink is about to fall on your foot. The food is good. However, it is brought from the kitchen of a nearby hotel.
