Dauin hotel rooms a the Independent

"Rooms were clean and the staff were very helpful and friendly. The breakfast buffet was plentiful and delicious with a variety of dishes."

"The servuce was amazing, so many nice and friendly people, especially at the reception or at the poolbar. I had to buy adapter for electricity because there was only one plug with international standard. But this was only a minor point. Perhaps in other rooms it is better. The resort is phantastic with flower gardens and directly at the beach. So many activities possible. Thank you very much. I will come back again. "

"Parking is in rough shape. "

"Only stayed one night but bed was super comfortable, staff nice and property conveniently located close to Boulevard and restaurants and bars. Also close to the Port. "

"The diving was awesome ... something new every dive. Guides (Ace) were very skilled and spotted all the things we wanted to see on our muck diving treasure hunts. Resort staff and manager were super friendly and sorted a couple of our trips outside the property. Trip to Oslob went well with total round trip 6am to 1pm and no wait in any queue to see those wonderful whale sharks. Another day trip to the Baslay hotsprings we did by scooter, what fun! Beautiful Tokamak restaurant was a great place to eat. Overall, no complaints with Mike's, peaceful and diving at the pace that suits you."

"Excellent. We love the place and the foods "

"Not a 4/5 star resort. This resort is fine, but has neither the facility nor the staff to be considered four or five stars. As such, it is overpriced. Pros: Location is beautiful and the grounds are well tended. The food, though extremely limited, is good. The staff are gracious. Cons: Meager breakfast options with no a la carte menu, limited dinner menu and you must order before 5p. No room service. No pool-side service. No 24hr service. Running water failed twice during my 3-day visit (zero water pressure to the entire facility). Pool towels not stocked or refreshed. Architecture is motel-style with public walkway and entrance outside of the window, so you have to choose between privacy and daylight. Older, dark decide and fixtures not meeting the high standards of a 4-star property."

"This is a beach stay, so sand is everywhere. I enjoy walking barefoot, and spent most of the time with sandy feet. The locals also pay to be part of the resort ocean access, so it added enjoyable local color. This stay was an enjoyable Philippines ocean stay."

"this is the best diving resort in Dauin. the staff are very friendly, it is like a diving community that feels like family. i would definitely for another dive at Apo Island next year. "
