    Weather didn't cooperate, but we made the most of our anniversary trip regardless.

    Great location, top notch staff and the owner was present and personable.

    The beds that are 2 feet deep, the 100 pillows that are cloud thick yet also soft. The FREE breakfast. The view from the cheap seats. There is nothing I didn't like.

    Seriously, there is no better VALUE in the area. Depends on what you are looking for. This is my staple whenever I visit.

    The A/C wasn't as strong as I would have preferred but the resort makes up for that by having a generator during brown outs. Although the room had a ceiling fan, another portable fan would be ideal.

    The breakfast was excellent each day and ordering convenient by establishing the order through the staff the night before or through email.

    Very nice location, at the public beach. During low tide its a bit difficult to swim though. Rooms are lovely and spacious. We loved the homey feeling of the resort and the fact that its not so big. Nice to talk to the owner who advised us to take daytrip to Danjugan Island which was a day filled with nice nature and swimming. We will be back! Thank you for a wonderful time!

    We had the best stay in Amila Dive Beach Resort. The location is just perfect if you prefer a calm and relaxing environment. If you like an adventure, you can drive from Dumaguete to Sipalay with the motorcycle or arrange a pick up with Amila Dive Beach Resort. The property is very clean and the staff is just amazing helpfull and nice! They offer a tour too Danjugan Sanctuary and we highly recommend to do this tour. The price is very effordable and the snorkling scenary is breath taking! You don’t need to leave the resort for breakfast or diners, the food is really good. Lastly, we were so lucky to withness for the first time the hatching of baby turtles just in front of the beach. It was truly, our highlight of the vacation! Thank you Tobias for this wonderfull stay. It was just perfect!!

    The only problem I faced was mosquitoes as they kept coming from under the door and loud neighbours.

    The resort itself is very nice. Staff are friendly and very helpful especially the owner of the resort. Guests were like a big family during the dinner time chatting across tables and chatting with Tobias. There is a good size food shop near by to buy fruit and snacks.

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful beach resort. The property is small size added to its charm, and the elegant and serene atmosphere made it the perfect retreat. My room was a highlight, with a lovely balcony offering stunning views of the ocean. (A right height of the chair in the balcony could be more comfortable.) The local staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always going above and beyond to ensure my needs were met. I was impressed by the multitasking abilities of the team members, who seemed to effortlessly juggle multiple tasks with ease. One suggestion I would like to make is to store the wine and liquor in a temperature-controlled environment to maintain their quality and allow guests to fully appreciate their flavors. The food at the resort was exceptional, with a special shout-out to the talented chef who prepared delicious dishes. However, I did notice that some items on the menu were occasionally unavailable, which could lead to frustration for guests. To address this, I would recommend separating occasional items into a separate menu or offering advance notice when they're not available. The rooms were immaculately clean, well-laid out, and boasted high ceilings that added to their sense of spaciousness. Few minor issue I noticed was the shower drainage, which was not elevated well. However, I was informed that the owner is aware of the issue and is working to resolve it. Paper menu in the rooms could ruin the elegant of the room and I would suggest a QR code could enhance the experience. Overall, I had a wonderful experience at this beach resort, and I would highly recommend it to others. With a few tweaks to address some minor issues, it could truly be a one of the best destination in Negros Occidental . Nonetheless, I appreciated the attention to detail and dedication to providing excellent service from the staff."

    Best place for divers if you are one because the diving spots are near. For those looking for entertainment there isnt any but me and my girlfriend enjoyed the peace and quiet. We also availed the Danjugan Island tour which was also nice.

    We didn't like the beach. Hope they put more effort into cleaning it everyday coz you can't really swim in their. go island hoping instead and pool location must've been closer to the villas than in their resto

    The facility is nice and clean. Foods are really good and good amount per serving and the staff were so nice

    A relaxing hideaway close to Sipalay; a 2-night stay at this beachfront resort was just right for us

    A little soundproofing in the rooms could make for a better experience. We are not super-early risers, and we could hear doors slamming as well as bathroom doors sliding open and closed as early as 7am. This is just an observation: We understand the rationale behind the quarter-full containers, but filling the shampoo/soap bottles and coffee/sugar jars halfway might provide better optics. How about using smaller vessels instead?

    The friendly and hospitable staff made us feel very welcome from our arrival to our departure. Tobias, the owner, came to greet us not long after we arrived and he was always around to answer our questions or to simply check in on us. The comfortable bed and heavenly pillows gave us a good night's rest each time. Also, we liked how we were able to refill our water bottles at the bar as part of the resort's policy to eliminate single-use plastic. It's just a short boat ride to Danjugan Island, where you have the option to explore the island, go snorkeling, scuba dive, or paddle along its beaches. The beach on the resort itself is very small and not the best place for swimming, but it has a small pool that some might enjoy.

    I thought the resort was going to be a little bigger, but it was not an issue. The swimming pool was small but nice it had some shade in the morning and afternoon.

    Location and view were very nice. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The resort was very clean and organised. The owner was very active with your requests from scuba diving to island tours. You can pre-order your meals to make it easier for breakfast and dinner.
