아틀란티스 다이브 리조트 두마게테

Good for experienced divers but not for new divers, solo travellers, relaxing beach time or a deluxe experience even though it was £200+ a night so I did not think it was good value. For me it was just the wrong choice and I didn't do enough research. The main disappointment comes down to me basing my expectations on the price instead of the 3 star rating. I haven't paid that much for a hotel before and usually go for 4 or 5 star places so I just don't understand the pricing, maybe that's just how it is in the Philippines. The staff and service are good, breakfast and the room are ok, spa and diving are the good amenities so it might be the diving location which warrants the price. Lunch and dinner are good. I recommend the honey yoghurt muesli with mango and the chicken salad (with a dressing) for breakfast. Everything I had on the lunch/dinner menu was great - the tom kha gai soup, Dorado, burger, curry etc all good. Small range of beers and cocktails available but cocktails were good too. The room and bathroom are fine for 3 star standards. There is termite stuff falling from the wood beams and dead moths or similar insects on shelves which did not get cleaned away. The Swedish massage was good, I recommend Gail. The shiatsu was painful and pinched my skin so she switched to Swedish. The pool is murky and not enticing to swim in, lots of mozzies around it too. I much preferred the beach and water conditions further down at Dauin. I like to relax on a nice beach and swim etc. that's where the great snorkeling is too. But the water at Atlantis is too rough and windy and the beach too narrow. Although the dive masters are great for leading dives and probably for the other diving skills, I wouldn't recommend getting your open water certificate here especially if you're at all nervous about it. There were some differences with the SSI videos like being able to practise boat entry in the pool first and using a snorkel that I would have preferred what with the condition of the water there. The beach, water and entry conditions are so much better 20-30min down the beach at Dauin, Bongo Bongo beach. I managed to earn my open water and it was the reason for this trip but it wasn't a pleasant experience and I watched the divers enter at Dauin quite jealously. Considering you can do 4-5 dives a day here plus a day for Apo island, I think 3-4 days here would be perfect. The hotel tour prices were a bit more expensive than others I found and they do not arrange joiner tours so as a solo traveller, their tours were prohibitively expensive. For some reason there were no joiner tours available outside the hotel either, I don't know if that's because of the season (jan-feb) or that's usual for the Philippines but it's the first time I've experienced that in my travels. The tour to Apo Island is good and well arranged. The only thing is as a snorkeler you have to wait until after lunch to get to the shallow turtle area but it was great and a benefit of going with the hotel is you leave on their boat right from the hotel, no need to drive to the ferry.

나는 Atlantis Dumaguete로의 두 번째 여행에서 막 돌아왔습니다. 마지막은 약 5 년 전이었습니다. 그 이후로 리조트는 이전보다 더 좋아졌습니다! 나는 전에 여기에 가본 적이 없는 친구 4명을 그룹으로 데려왔다. Dumaguete 공항에 도착한 순간부터 우리는 VIPS처럼 대우 받았습니다. 경내는 무성하고 놀랍고 세심하게 손질되어 있습니다. 우리 방은 크고 흠없고 크고 잘 꾸며져 있습니다. 침대는 매우 편안했습니다. 나는 아틀란티스 직원들의 찬사를 충분히 크게 부를 수 없습니다. 모두가 외향적이고 친절하고 친절하고 매우 유능했습니다. 그곳에서 첫날이 끝날 때쯤이면 그들은 모두 당신의 이름을 알게 될 것입니다. 리조트 레스토랑의 요리는 매 식사마다 훌륭했습니다. 다이빙 승무원은 바다에서 최고의 눈을 가진 다이빙 가이드 Genie에게 매우 특별한 외침과 함께 훌륭했습니다! 다이빙 승무원이 여행 내내 장비를 처리하고 마지막 다이빙 날에도 세탁해 드립니다. 크고 안정적인 전통적인 필리핀 방카스나 작은 덮개가 있는 쾌속정에서 다이빙을 하게 됩니다. 다이빙 장소(Apo Island 제외)는 모두 리조트에서 10분 이내 거리에 있습니다. Dauin은 주로 크고 작은 생물이 풍부한 매크로 다이빙 지역(일명 진흙)입니다. 아름답고 건강한 산호초, 단단하고 부드러운 산호, 풍부한 물고기 및 거북이가 있는 하루를 위해 아포 섬으로 여행을 떠나십시오. 점심 시간에 다이빙 보트로 카누를 다니는 여성들로부터 기념품 셔츠를 사기 위해 작은 지폐를 가져오세요. 이것은 관리자 Kris와 Marco가 적극적으로 "실습"하고 손님과 소통하는 매우 잘 운영되는 리조트입니다. Atlantis는 진정한 5성급 컨시어지 수준의 경험입니다. 내 친구와 나는 이미 귀국 여행을 계획하고 있습니다!

The Atlantis resort needs more than 5 stars. Top to bottom the staff is amazing, resort is beautiful and food is great. The diving here is second to none, absolutely amazing. We dove with the dive master Harnold and words cannot describe how amazing he was this week. Super knowledgeable, very friendly and kept us laughing the entire week. His ability to find nearly microscopic creatures was a sight to behold. Upon arrival, everyone knows your name and you are treated like loyalty by all. It was our second visit to this resort and certainly we will return! I highly recommend this place to all divers!!!

Best trip of my life! Spent 5 days at Dumaguete resort and 7 days aboard the Atlantis Azores. Top level service, staff was incredible! Highly recommend doing both and getting the full experience. Spotted so many new species that I had never seen before, Blue Ring Octopus, Cuttlefish, saw my first Tiger Shark!

Definitely the ideal spot for intense diving while being pampered with high quality of housing. Food experience is quite amazing and the Chef will surprise you everyday. Do not hesitate to spend time at the bar where you will be warmly welcome. Staff is absolutely great and you will be surprised by everyone calling you by your name after hrs ! :)))
