Escape to Countryside from busy City Life.
Posted 1 Jun 2016 on HotelsMy son enjoyed his stay in Aqua-Landia's version of local swing. We noted the Hospitality of every staff. They could well understand the client's need and performs their each duties efficiently. The food was nice and served hot. There's plenty of space to roam inside the resort area and secured. I will recommend this place to other travellers especially to a Family group.

Nice........but not nice.
Posted 3 Feb 2016This resort was difficult to rate.
The following summary reflects my opinion. My wife would have less favourable ratings.
The easiest way to do this is to list the pros and cons.
Pros/Good
Aesthetically quite pretty.
Located close to Dumaguete and to the boat launch to Apo Island.
Nice swimming pool.
The food was pretty good in the restaurant but a little expensive.
Some of the staff were friendly, others not so.
The rooms were quite nice.
Showers and bathroom were fine. Air conditioner was a little noisy but worked.
There is a diving shop that provides diving adventures.
Cons/Bad
The resort is not quiet.
The resort is less than 50m from the highway and about 200m from the ocean.
So instead of the relaxing sound of ocean waves you get highway traffic noise.
The resort has a barn yard atmosphere. Roosters crowing day and night, barking/fighting dogs, goats and cows.
If crowing roosters might bother you do not stay at this resort and most definitely not in rooms 5-8. The roosters sound like they're in the bathroom.
Stay in rooms 2-4.
Room 1 is for management.
We moved from room 8 to room 2. If we couldn't have made the move we would've left.
The roosters were loud.
Restaurant and bar close early.
Not much to do at the resort. The beach is a 200m walk away but not worth going to.
The wifi doesn't work in the rooms but does on the resort property.
After all that, would I come back?
No I wouldn't.

Hotel was OK. Bed mattress was uncomfortable and not up to western standards. Food is mediocre and expensive for what you get. They offer airport transfer but is expensive PHP 750 each way.Is to far from the city of Dumaguete if your wanting some night life. However the Staff and Manager Alex were delightful people to deal with.

Ok if you want to get away from EVERYTHING!
Posted 3 Aug 2015
Pros: Friendly and roomy
Cons: WIFi and phone connections are poor, food is below par compared to others in the area.
A pleasant enough looking resort with spacious rooms, but most accommodation in the area is pleasant and spacious.
It is not really a dive hotel and is 4km from the best dive operators. The evening meals are basic and average at best. Phones and WiFi don't work in most of the resort except in the restaurant, and then they aren't reliable.
That said, staff and management are friendly and helpful and will do what they can to assist.
Next time i would stay at Mike's Dauin Dive Resort - better food, WiFi and phones and right on the beach.

A Hidden Treasure
Posted 23 Jun 2015
Pros: I really liked how secluded the Resort was, it was always peaceful
Cons: Fully operational Dive Shop at the resort
Location: There is great Scuba Diving all along the coast of the Dauin Area, and out on APO Island
This resort is a bit outside the town of Dauin, but you are not going here for nightlife. The rooms are bungalow style and even thought we had a couple right next door we never heard any noise from the other guests. The food at the resort is very good. And the staff was always accommodating. They went as far as setting up a Apo Island dive trip for us for the next morning.
