Mike's Dauin Dive Resort

My group and I had the honour to spend around 2 weeks at Mike's Dauin Beach Resort. There was nothing to blame about or to be criticised. The resort is wonderful location, not overloaded. With direct access to Beach and Sea. For people who don't like salt water... there's also a nice pool! Rooms are well equipped, clean and properly maintained. Beautiful, friendly management and staff, good food, good service, brilliant diving. We recommend this place with 5* and 100%. For sure we will return! Thx to all for the brilliant time we could spend there! ❤️

Very nice stay here the staff are all great from the cleaners to the managers. The diving is really easy 20m from the hotel and all sites accesible in 10 mins on the boat, most wothin a few minutes, with sich a variety of marine life. The owner was there when we was there and seemed a decent guy. The managers were awesome, both jamie and kate are very helpful with lots of knowledge. A special mention to my dive guide gabby who was brilliant along with the boat crew, all you meed to do is dive and eat everything else is done for you. Definatly would recommend and definatly will come back.

Beautiful resort. The staff is very nice and helpfull. The dive shop is very proffesional. The dive guides know very good the dive locations, and the do a lot of effort to show you the good things to see while diving, and they also try to show you what you are interested in. The dive sites in front of the resort are very good voor muck diving, and Apo island was also very good for diving. Food in the restaurant was very good.

I travelled solo to Mike's Dauin Beach Resort for nine days in May for diving and underwater photography. This is a quaint, quiet and very accommodating budget-friendly venue right on the water. Accommodations - The room was moderate size with a desk and armoire. The bed was comfortable and I slept well. It includes a TV with multiple channels. Restaurant - The menu is diverse, including Filipino and Mexican food. The staff was very accommodating and will even cook things not on the menu. Dive Service - Dauin is a world class venue for macro photography. I couldn't believe how many critters I kept seeing on each dive. The guides like Ace and Gabi are as good as you can ask for in finding animals and watching out for your safety. Apo Island is nearby and is a nice one day option. There was healthy coral as well as muck diving. Misc - This is a place also for non-divers. There is a pool, kayaks and local great restaurants nearby. I had a pizza that was definitely better than my home places. A guide can be arranged also for guided tours into the jungle for spotting birds, etc. May is the low season so it wasn't crowded and the weather was excellent. Mike and the managers James and Kate went out of the way to make my stay special, as did all of the staff who always greeted you with smiles. Consider this before you book your next stay anywhere in the Philippines or Indonesia.

Thoroughly enjoyed my week at Mike's. The managers, James and Kate, gave my dive buddy and me a warm welcome and assigned a dive master that was knowledgeable about the area and very personable. Dauin is known for its macro diving and it did not disappoint. The rooms at Mike's were spacious and clean. I hope to return to Mike's for another stay.

One of the best dive trips I have ever had. The staff were very friendly. Ace did an amazing job as our dive master, he has eyes like an hawk and really knows the dive sites well. The help on the boat did an outstanding job to make the dives effortlessly. Everything from putting your fins on before and after the dive to taking your BCD before you got back on the boat nice job Victor. The meals were top notch, hats off to the cooks. The daily massage was off the hook. Thank you Wendy you were fabulous. I have already booked again for next year.
