The best place to stay in Pinta de Ouro! The location is on the beach, the vibe, the people who live and work there, all the guests are all so incredibly nice. I regretted staying so short. Next time I'll stay for a month! The diving was ridiculously good. We had 20 sharks swimming around at the same time. I can't praise this place more, I had the absolute best time ever here ❤️

Wish we had stayed longer

This is the place to explore Ponta, the beach and its surrounds. It is well located on the beach between three beach bars, a number of restaurants and close to shop and bottle store and the market. It is a tented camp and Dive Centre with two well equipped shared kitchens ,dining and lounge area, braai area and a festive bar which made it interactive. Martin who booked us in was awesome........so fun loving, friendly and accommodating, as were Herb and Elaine the owners and their dogs. Our tent had an en suite and comfortable bed and we survived the heavy downpour! Even as seasoned adventurers this is the place to be!

The staff is very friendly. Helpful. Its on the beach. Beautiful beach. Rooms is comfortable. It's not the place for people that expect a five star hotel, but that is exactly the point. You go to explore dive. Dive with dolphins. There is deep sea fishing and just relaxing on the beach. There is lots of restaurants and bars in walking distance on the beach.This is as close to Nature as you can get.

There's nothing I can think of that I didn't like. Although simple, everything met my needs!

I loved my time at Underwater Explorer! Both my stay and the diving were absolutely wonderful. The accommodation is simple and sufficient - perfect for a solo-traveler on a budget. I especially loved the laid-back and homey atmosphere, and I was very thankful for the good mosquito net and a strong fan in my room. The small pool is perfect for cooling off and lounging by the bar, plus it has an epic ocean view. And for an outdoor kitchen, the place is well-kept thanks to the hardworking housekeeping team, and well-stocked with cooking utensils, free coffee/tea, and plenty of refrigerators! The dive operation is well-organized, fun, and safe. My gear was well cared for, and the rental gear was in great condition. Shout out to the friendliest team of instructors and DMTs (Anísio + Liam, & Dirk, Laura, + Brandon), captain Tito, and all the guys working on the boats who made sure I had an amazing time. Everyone was very helpful from pre-trip planning to arrival (thank you for answering all of my questions, Martin!!!), and throughout my stay. I felt welcomed immediately and wish I had stayed more than 1 week! I’m so happy I chose to dive and stay at Underwater Explorer and am looking forward to my next trip. 10/10 would recommend.

The cabins on the beachfront were small but lovely. The 2 fans in the room really helped as it was very hot when we visited. The pool was an amazing bonus

The mosquitoes! The nets weren’t very effective.

Maybe they could provide towels for the bathroom ? It is the only thing that was missing.

Perfect location on the beach. Perfect view on the hill beside the beach. Simple but confortable bedroom with all what you need. Kind staff.

The disposal of WC's which are shared by all guests, in my opinion should increase the nr of WC's to respond the demand or even having some options of suit rooms (private wc) to offer more choice. Separate the WC's bar from the guests overall.

The location, which is beach front, the scenery of a open kitchen for all guests, etc.

Everything!!!!! You have to go there! The owners are amazing! So welcoming and helpful. The staff is great and the atmosphere all of them make is inimitable - after 30mins you feel lake at home. If you look for a place where you are the part of the family and like to sleep with a sound of the ocean, you should definitelly go there. Thank you so much for everything :)

This dive-camp is exactly what we wanted. The atmosphere is happy & laidback. You can walk around bare-foot for 5 days & never feel pressure to dress-up. The hosts know about hospitality & go out of their way to make your stay as pleasant and relaxed as possible. The staff is fabulous! Thank you to everybody for making our beach-bum holiday such a pleasurable reality!
