  Muy buen club de bueco

  El resort en general está bien pero las habitaciones nos decepcionaron un poco. Eran deluxe pero le faltan detalles, un poco descuidado todo. El water no tragaba bien, tuvimos que llamar varias veces para que lo desatrancaran. La cama era cómoda, el aire acondicionado bastante ruidoso y muy potente, incluso en el mínimo era demasiado fuerte. La wifi no funciona casi nunca en las habitaciones, aunque en el restaurante iba bien. Por lo demás, el personal fue muy amable, la comida bastante buena, aunque no demasiado variada. El desayuno, regular, muy adaptado a los gustos orientales pero si pedías cosas que no estaban en el buffet, te las servían en mesa. El club de buceo es muy bueno. Todo muy cuidado. Las inmersiones las hicimos solos en un barco con tres personas a nuestro servicio, es un buceo a la carta, el divemaster está a tu disposición. Aunque el precio que se paga es para eso y más. En general todo bien pero demasiado caro tanto el buceo como el alojamiento para lo que se ofrece y en comparación con los precios en el país.

  Quiet, Peaceful & expensive

  We spent one night at the Aiyanar Beach and Dive Resort, Mabini on 16th November-2019. We planned to spend the day trip but, when we landed to the resort we got entrapped by the beautiful resort location & surrounding and decided to spend the whole night. The room was with sea view and king size bed. The resort has a beautiful swimming pool and a divers training pool as well with 15ft depth. Room was comfortable will all the facilities. We ended up spending Php 10700 for one night. I also learned that the resort provided padi courses.

  A peaceful dive resort with great staff

  Firstly my son and I enjoyed our stay. While the resort is about 20km from Taal volcano the area is safe. Staff were really lovely without exception. I would say the price is about USD 50 too high per night assuming youre paying about USD 150 per night. I do think a lot of Philippine hotels will really disappoint in terms of food, decor or facilities and I dont believe this resort does. So perhaps its worth the 5* price although I would consider this a 3* or 4* resort. Food was genuinely good and given there were only a few rooms occupied, because of the ongoing volcanic eruptions, most dishes were available. Dive master provided a great introductory lesson for my son & prices for diving and jetski were reasonable for a tourist destination. At night its a very peaceful resort and the room was fine, just a little small for the price. Breakfast was pretty good and theyll do whatever you ask within reason and based on available ingredients. Dont expect a big buffet but you can easily eat enough to get through to dinner. The wifi was down which was disappointing but they provided a small discount, as I had to use my roaming dataplan for work and personal communications. I believe this is probably the best option in the locality so maybe accept the slightly higher than normal price for a Mabini dive resort. Thanks to genuinely lovely staff for making our stay such a pleasure.

  Amazing in all aspects

  Our group of divers checked in 3/9/20 for a week of diving before heading to Tubbataha. We did NOT make it to Tubbataha due to covid-19. The diving and dive guides are some of the best anywhere I've been. Saw things I'd only read about in my 25+ years of diving. The resort is beautiful, rooms spacious and everything worked well. The food PHENOMENAL especially after we requested local foods on the menu not Americanized food :) When news came down we wouldn't be able to go to Tubbataha the staff worked tirelessly to help us work things out. I would go back in a heart beat! Highly recommend it.

  Rose to the challenge

  Our stay at this hotel was relaxing, exciting and something that we will always remember. The hotel manager Marco Lacson Santo really rose to the challenge of helping us deal with the eventual cancellation of the second half of our trip due to closing down of many parts of the Philippines in response to Covid 19. Our plans were dashed when domestic flights were being cancelled and the liveaboard we were supposed to go on was in jeopardy. Marco valiantly tried to negotiate with the company owners, however everything ended up shutting down. I was also very impressed with the staff as I had a medical issue which resulted in them taking me to the emergency in town. Luckily it was nothing serious and when it came time to pay the clinic in cash, we did not have any, so the drivers stepped up to the plate and paid. We of course reimbursed the hotel for the cost (crazy cheap). Aside from all that, everyone on the resort really catered to people's wishes. They switched their cuisine to traditional Filipino food instead of American style. Delicious. When people asked for certain beer that they did not have available, they sought it out locally and delivered. The wait staff were always looking to refill your glass with water, which in this climate is essential. As this is a dive resort, their guides, captains, and everyone else associated with the company were awesome. They loved to find things for us to see and were patient while people took pics of the amazing critters. Our guide Bong, yes that is his name, was fabulous. Everyone else in our dive group also raved about their guides. Our room was clean and we got used to the see through shower wall. The water temp went from nuclear to cold, with some adjustment. Our AC worked well. The sunsets were beautiful and so was the view over the ocean. The only suggestion I have, and I spoke to Marco about it, is to have snacks available during the day, especially since diving makes one ravenous when you return to the hotel. Cookies, crackers, fruit etc. As it turns out we were the last group of guests before the resort closed down due to the pandemic. We hope that they will be able to get back up and running again. They deserve it.
