Dinagat Islands Vacation Rentals

"We were so pleased we came across Pintuyan in our search. The whale watching experience in ethical, natural conditions was perfect and we saw a number of turtles from the boat too. The facility had everything you needed, clean and comfortable and the restaurant/bar offered lots of food options. We are not generally very social but enjoyed the social breakfast and dinner (which you do not have to join but it nay appear strange if you don’t) the other guests were very nice and relaxed which is an indication of the type of people drawn to the area. You can walk along the beach or road for a walk around the local town, other than that the location is simply for the whales from what we experienced. My only negative comments would be the music played quite loud in the restaurant early one morning which woke me up after arriving at 2am was not ideal. This only happened once though. Secondly the boat guide got in the way a lot whilst swimming with the whale shark to take his own video and made me unable to keep up with it at one point. Guests should be the priority and he should stay back ensuring the guests have the best experience. "

"Our stay in Surigao was absolute bliss!! Although this place is old and has been badly affected by typhoon Odette a couple of years ago and is still undergoing renovations. The location was gold! The staff was extremely helpful and attentive. Its location is in their famous Mabua Pebble Beach, Surigao City, and on the foot of a mountain and with some 300 steps you get the most amazing view. It is also a fishing village and I've spent every night just watching the fishermen on their boats catching squid. They come back around 11pm and go back out again to catch fish and come back early morning. I have never seen a full functioning fishing village. I am in awe at the simplicity of the life here. And the sunset...well...it was exceptional 👌 Highly recommend this place 🌟 🌟 🌟🌟🌟one day I will come back and I will definitely stay here again."

"I had stayed at this property a year before and there are constant improvements being made to the facilities and the area around it. The beds aren't the typical foam mattresses you can find elsewhere, they are nicely firm."
